As a fan of both Corrie and EE, the show that's been most consistent this year is...

Coronation Street.
I've been gripped all year. Even through the incredibly unrealistic Gail and Joe saga, I've been looking forward to each and every instalment. That storyline, alongside Blanche's funeral, the tram crash, Jack's death, Molvin and the Lewis storyline have made Corrie for me this year.
EE, on the other hand, has been extremely touch and go. The live episode and its lead up was good and the Vic fire was OK, but that's about it. Otherwise, I've been very disappointed, especially around the World Cup and over the past few months.
I've also noticed that I discuss Corrie on here much more than I do EE. If you'd have asked me which was my favourite soap a year ago, I'd have said EastEnders. Now I'm saying Coronation Street.
Just my opinion; it's not "wrong" as everyone has one!

There's been some amazing episodes aside from the tram crash - Roy and Hayley's wedding, the Manchester tart episode, COlin's death, Jack's death the opening of the Joinery, the tram crash was just the icing on top of the cake
Was that the one when Gail chucked a cake in Deidre's face?:D If so, then yes, that was a classic!:D
I was going to say the same.
That's the one
Aaron coming out, the arrival of Jackon and Maisie, Holly's battle with drugs and the Carl/Chas/Eve love triangle have all made for compulsive viewing.
Don't forget my favourite thing about Emmerdale, I said to myself, I said Hazel...
Sorry, I meant to say Jackson and Hazel in my post, not Maisie!
I'm a fan of ALL of them also.
Interesting to see how Emmerdale continues since Gavin Blyth sadly passed away.
Corrie has had a poor year. It's only been the past month or so that they've turned things around and now things have gone back to being poor/mediocre at best with Tracy's return. I also think the 50th week was overrated. While the stunts were good, the plot strands throughout the week were the same tosh we've become accustomed to - Stape, Molvin, Leanne/Nick etc. These plots aren't great.
EE has had an OK year. A few bad months out of 12 isn't bad considering Corrie has had bad patches lasting years at a time. People always go OTT on DS when it comes to EE.
Ken....DO SOMETHING!!:D
Sid - you speak the truth! (hugs!:))
Out of the 3 soaps yesterday, Emmerdale was the one I was looking forward to the most and the one I enjoyed the most. The acting and writing has been superb recently.
I have loved Corrie recently, but the one thing I remember about the live episode was the episode of Emmerdale just before it when Jackson had the meltdown in hospital and begged his Mum and Aaron not to leave him there. This meant I was an emotional wreck even before the Corrie live Episode started!
EE has just disappointed me lots this year - the Live episode was stunning, but since then, I have not enjoyed it at all. I'm sad to see Lacey Turner go - but I think it's best for her career and I'm looking forward to seeing her in the new series of Being Human!
So - just to recap - I'd say out of the two, Corrie has been most consistant - but I'd rather watch Emmerdale!
You obviously missed Gail's trial/siege week
Hey Mama! (((hugs))) back at ya
I tend to drift in and out of Corrie, but tune in at the right times it seems. I've watched all the big stories and they've been played out very well.
Eastenders I've stayed loyal to but it's been difficult. The year started off strongly but it's been steadily going downhill since. Thank heavens for Janine, Christian, the Masoods, Dot and Kim/Fatboy. They are saving the show.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale has gone from strength to strength. I'm a total addict now!
Good to see you again Mama - mwah! x
The tram crash and the Corrie live episode were fantastic, but overall I think Emmerdale has been better. Really stepped up.
The start of the year for Corrie was really bad
While EE had a first great start to the year, then had a bit a slump, came out it again and then went back into one in the last few weeks as there was no Christmas build up.
I'd say EE has been more consistent but I've certainly enjoyed Corrie more with the tram crash stuff. EE haven't really had anything to exciting since the Live and maybe the Vic fire.
