Hollyoaks has been fairly steady all week, next week's figures should be decent with the much hyped fire at Il Gnosh. It's interesting considering how badly the show has been perfoming all year and even reaching lows of 800,000

Great ratings for Emmerdale, delighted that it is performing so well at the moment, it's been on top form for nearly 2 years now. Eastenders has been very consistent this week, solid share and rating.

Corrie's figure is extremely disappointing, down almost 2 million from Monday's first episode. Poor rating and poor share, this slot really hasn't worked for the show. It's a shame because the show always performed consistently when it was on Wednesdays.

anything for the big 3 and Neighbours at 5:30pm and 7pm on Channel Fiver?

Excellent once again for Emmerdale. Up massively y-o-y. As for the Corrie rating, to be down almost 2m from Monday really is unacceptable. Even though it's up from the 7.8m last year, it's still poor especially considering how close we are now to the 50th Anniversary. I'd expect it to bounce back on Monday considering Jack's death and we might see figures of 10.5m+ but it's the drop that hits the Thursday episode which is so huge it's hard to know what ITV can do with this scheduling nightmare.

Friday 5th November Overnights (inc. HD)
Neighbours 1.2m
Home and Away 0.8m
Hollyoaks 1.1m

Emmerdale: 7.4m
Coronation Street: 8.7m
Eastenders: 8.3m
Coronation Street: 8.3m
--------------------------------------
Good set of ratings for Corrie. Monday's episodes should get 10m+, as they even advertised it just before TXF last night.

Unsual for EastEnders to rate the same or behind both episodes of Corrie and be down year-on-year. Perhaps Bonfire Night dented its rating?

Thanks RZT! Sad that N and H&A are down again, but it was fireworks night I suppose! :/

I know that 1.2m for Neighbours isnt that high, but the start of the week up until Wednesday is when most people watch - Thursday and Friday are always less watched. In comparison, a few weeks ago, 1.2m in the overnights would have been seen as a high for Neighbours. The next few weeks may still hold some ground and maybe Neighbours could be knocking on the door of 2m again!

All held up quite well on Bonfire night especially Emmerdale which is just unstoppable at the moment IMO. Last year it had 6.7m. Corrie is making more and more ground up on Friday nights now against EE and that first episode is up y-o-y compared to the same episode last year. Expecting 10.5m+ for Corrie on Monday, especially for the first episode.

As for HO. Was that the episode where the fire happened? If so, very disappointing. 1.1m isn't really good enough.

Good set of ratings for the soaps.

EastEnders probably dented by Bombfire night.

Neighbours held up well despite a low rating.

most of the younger viewers of EE would have been out compared to the oldies who watch Corrie which explains a more dent for EE than Corrie

I'm 18 and I watch Corrie not EE, Corrie is just performing better atm.

Performing better? by all accounts Corrie is performing terribly. It has lost nearly 5 million viewers since 2005. EE and Emmerdale haven't lost this many.

The fire started at the end of the episode and continues right through until end of this week, quite good ratings actually esp for a friday and bonfire night

Eh? It's gone down from an average of 11m to 9m+ Hardly "5m" and the drop in ratings is due to the ever changing world, in 2005, if you missed Corrie, you'd either have to watch it later that night on ITV2 or catch the omnibus, now you can watch it whenever, the television is going out of date

Getting better ratings than depressing eastenders, what's so terrible about that? Oh yea it's actually funny, really terrible....

EE and Corrie get virtually the same ratings give or take a few hundred thousand. Some days EE wins and some days Corrie wins.

Oh and that 'depressing' label that people give to EE is very predictable/tabloid cliché. :yawn:

1.1m is a POOR figure. The advert says something like an "unmissable week of Hollyoaks starts Friday 5th November on 4". It should be at least 1.5m IMO. This is the story/stunt to save the show but HO is not really showing any signs of recovery. I aren't expecting much next week tbh.

Anyone know how the repeats did?

Oh deary me. Fan wars back I see. To spell out the truth.

I hardly think a few thousand more viewers is something to shout about. I mean EastEnders usually beats Corrie more often than not thesedays. Take this Tuesday. Nearly 11 million reach and it wasn't even an important episode. Then look at Corrie's Thursday episode. Nearly two million down from Monday. That isn't good.

To be fair to Corrie, it has lost just 1.7m (15%) since 2005, nowhere near as much as the 5m you claim! This is a good post D.M.N made a week or so ago with yearly averages.

In the same time, EastEnders has lost 1.0m (9%) and Emmerdale has lost 1.4m (16%).

Corrie's loss has been quite similar to Emmerdale's. EastEnders has lost the least no. of viewers in that period, but I don't think the ~15% drop for Corrie/Emmerdale is too bad considering the growth of multichannel TV in that time.

I wonder how wary ITV HQ are about Corrie's anniversary falling on a Thursday, the weakest episode of the week, in ratings terms?

I mean if the live episode is that day or even if it's the tram crash that day followed by the live episode on the Friday, someone must be thinking how it's going to perform. I know we all know the day and what's coming up, but will it still have a negative effect on the ratings.

Obviously we don't know how Corrie is going to be scheduled that week, but they stick to the current format, the gap from Monday to Thursday is going to be very long and any momentum from the Monday episodes will be totally lost.

Incidentally, the live episode in 2000 to celebrate 40 years officially averaged 16.68m on Friday 8th December.

I agree it is quite poor seeing as tho they went to alot of trouble to promote it etc, but taking into account the night in question and it being a friday when generally the ratings are normally under the million mark it wasnt a complete disaster. Hopefully the ratings improve this week because I have to say hollyoaks is in a really good place at the mo and deserves more credit

Monday 8th November 2010 (inc HD)
17:00 - Be a Star on Neighbours: 0.8m (5.1%)
17:30 - Neighbours: 1.4m (7.9%)
18:00 - Home and Away: 1.0m (4.7%)
18:30 - Hollyoaks: 1.5m (6.5%) inc +1
19:00 - Emmerdale: 8.4m (36.7%)
19:30 - Coronation Street: 10.8m (44.5%)
20:00 - EastEnders: 9.8m (38.0%)
20:30 - Coronation Street: 11.0m (41.7%)

Highest figures for Emmerdale and Coronation Street in several months, unsurprisingly for the latter.

Good ratings all round for the soaps, especially Corrie
