I think Corrie and EE (EMD to maybe) have really worn thin...and i think the reason for this is the 5 nights a week showings.
i really belive that the soaps have run out of steam, i think the 5 nights worked for a while but because they have to think of so much more things to do that there are srcaping thebottom of the barrell.
I say bring back the one night corrie the next EE then back to corrie..ect...like it use to be, just give them a bit of a rest, breath some life back into them.

what do you think?

don't get me wrong i love EE and corrie...but im starting to get a bit bored.

    it is...opps...but you know what i mean, like corries on twice on monday, twice on firday ..its just to much soap...and i for one love soap, but i would like it to be better and less showings a week, than lots of showing and running it thin.

    Maybe it would help them.

    Corrie doesn't need the double episodes, they rarely have anything big enough to warrant them anyway. And Eastenders should go back to Mon/Tues/Thurs.

    I agree entirely. I only watch Emmerdale regularly out of the 'big three' but it has definitely suffered by having to fill 3 hours a week.

    The hour long tuesday ep used to be a special occasion thing, and as such it usually warrented the extra running time. Nowadays it's just routine, and any od plot is used.

    Cutting back to even 2 and a half hours would yeild benefits, I'm sure.l

    EE should be 3 eps a week with a fourth (hour long) episode appearing on special occasions.

    The double Corrie episodes are a joke tbh, just no need at all.

    I 'look' forward to my nightly fix of Emmerdale and more so on the Tuesday night extended eps BUT with a truly objective hat on I have to admit that I think it sometimes suffers from too much padding.

    Corrie's format of split episodes I find annoying and some of the 'cliff hangers' are laughable. I have to admit to have rather switched off from Corrie recently.

    I agree to the soaps need to cut back as the eps do feel like they paded out so they could cut the big ones to 3 times a week.

    Yeah I agree. Emmerdales (not so special) hour episodes should be cut aswell as Corries two-eps a night.

    I'd hate to lose an Eastenders episode. I think the writing is strong enough. They've being doing four episodes a week since 2001 now, and they've only had one or two bad years.

    Yeah i agree i think EE should have 3 episodes a week n corrie shouldn't have double episodes. It would make storylines seem longer 2 x

    I would like to see this happen but i very much doubt it will

    After all not everyone likes soaps

    Also I think Holby and Casulty need to go back to 6 months a year at least
