Been watching EE and Corrie recently and EE has been far better imo.
This is a big surprise as EE was dreadful until Michael's murder.
Corrie has been crap lately imo, I hate this Grace and Faye story.

I think the Faye story is very good, but it's come out of nowhere. The build-up's been all wrong. I did wonder (has anyone else suggested this?) if Peter was originally meant to have the affair with Michelle, and that this has been altered. It would explain the tone of some of those factory scenes between them. Plus there's her being Carla's friend, her rows with Steve. With her now acting as one of Amy's parents, it's not implausible that Peter would leave Simon with her.
Corrie is still good, but all these issue-led storylines are affecting the momentum of the show. Some of the scenes are getting very repetitive. I do like that the bullying issue is being explored, it's just that it hasn't been paced that well - although that may be due to the way that Ken's absence affected the Rob/Peter showdown summer.
EE is getting better but there was still work to be done.
The problem with Corrie is that Blackburn has not swung the axe at characters that need to go.
Has there ever been a time when all four soaps where good at the same time :eek:
However last nights double eps of Corrie were brilliant, the Faye storyline has been quite good IMO and I don't even like her that much! Tina and Peter are making for interesting viewing also, I see chemistry there.
Christmas is going to see Julie/Brian's storyline come to a head (one I'm quite interested in), Peter/Tina and of course Hayley's final days... its going to be a good one. I can't see the quality going down anytime soon.
As for EE, as I said I'm quite excited for Christmas and intrigued by Janine's exit and the Carter's arrival!
Eastenders has deserved all the criticism it has got the last few years
Lots of threads tonight that EE had the most ridiculous episode ever in Soap history ...
Long Live Corrie !!
whilst being far fetched it was not even close to being the most ridiculous episode in soap history.
it was entertaining and Twitter is buzzing with positive comments. some people are very pleased with the outcome
To be fair the DS forums where really the only place where people are being negative about the episode Twitter and all has been abuzz with people who have really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the church scenes but hated airportgate
I agree. I like all three Emmerdale, Eastenders and Coronation Street. I think all of them are doing well at the moment:)
