History and profile
Branded as a "glam and sexy new magazine" the first issue was launched on 11 February 2004 and featured the following articles:
The co-owner and director of Into Soap was Nick Cochrane, who played Andy McDonald on Coronation Street for 9 years. The company he formed for the publication of the magazine was Treble Media Ltd. However, due to fierce competition from other publications Inside Soap and Soaplife, the magazine ran into financial difficulties. Despite the selling of the title to a London company and gaining a readership of 75,000, Into Soap folded in September 2008. The closure of the publication resulted in job losses, unpaid bills to staff and photographers and Cochrane having to sell his house after filing for bankruptcy.
