"Quayside" was a soap opera, based around the lives of young people living on the Newcastle Quayside produced by Zenith North Television and aired in 1997 on Tyne Tees Television in North East England.

Tyne Tees Television produced this soap opera as a venture into it becoming a regional soap opera alongside the larger soaps such as "Coronation Street" and "EastEnders" despite Tyne Tees not actually having a licence commitment to regional drama.

Directed and produced by Matthew Robinson it starred Joe Caffrey, Emma Louise Webb and other North East actors, many of whom had appeared or went on to appear in "Byker Grove" and other local programmes.

Despite receiving 40% of the audience share when it started, ratings began to fall primarily due to its position in the schedules. It aired once-weekly at 7.30pm, a slot which is traditionally dedicated to local programming and resulted being alongside "EastEnders" on BBC One.
