Deaf Soap Opera?
Local soap operas are very popular here. Not that I pay attention, but I do know they have substantial ratings compared to other programmes; either local or international.
Here’s a thought, wouldn’t it be interesting if one or more actors in a particular show were deaf characters? Wouldn’t this raise awareness about deaf culture in Cyprus? I'd imagine it would make an interesting series. I might even tune in!

There's been a couple of mainstream soaps in the UK featuring deaf characters. Coronation Street, Eastenders and Grange Hill to name a few. Casualty (hospital drama) has also featured some deaf actors (although never long-running).
