It is mostly filmed and produced in Childwall, Liverpool, although nearby locations are sometimes used.

Set in the fictional town of Los Barcos on the Costa del Sol in Spain and following the lives of British and European expatriates, the BBC hoped it would be as successful as "EastEnders" and replicate some of the sunshine and glamour of imported Australian soaps such as "Home and Away" and "Neighbours".  A co-production between the BBC and independent production company Cinema Verity and J.Dark y J.Todesco, "Eldorado" aired three times a week in a high-profile evening slot on the mainstream channel BBC1, filling the slot vacated by Terry Wogan's chat show "Wogan", on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.00pm.

Clare was killed-off in October 2013 and Bissix said that it would allow the "Hollyoaks" to develop other villainous characters.  Bissix has won three British Soap Awards for her portrayal of Clare.  She has also been named one of the best British soap opera characters. EastEnders is a long-running British soap opera created by Julia Smith and Tony Holland which has been broadcast on BBC One since 1985.
