OK, OK. I apologise about that, but I think you should've been clearer because I thought you were referring to me...
Apology accepted

Excuses don't cut it. If its not the football or the weather its now not having adverts... its funny how its only EE effected by that isn't it. Every episode should be at a standard where it can match if not beat Corrie. The fact it is one million behind it isn't good. Perhaps Corrie being ahead is more down to the fact viewers think its more exciting at the moment? is that so hard to grasp?

Corrie looks entertaining therefore is getting better ratings as people want to watch it. You can't keep saying EE needs constant adverts to pull in the viewers. That's saying the show can't cut it on its own name and reputation alone.

For example if EE gets a better rating for tonights episode than it did yesterday's then we can turn around and say viewers must be liking the Moon bruvs and Derek's storyline.. because that is what the ratings would indicate. If it gets lower tonight then we could say its because people are bored.. not because its hot weather.. which it isn't, or that some 3rd division football team were playing.

EE still beat ED, does that mean ED needs to up it's game?
ED has a better share than EastEnders and is less than a million behind.. now I don't know when the last time ED got over 9 million viewers but I am guessing its been a few years so their figure is right for them. EastEnders figure isn't.

Still those in denial about the state of EE are to blame for its continued decline. Burying your head in the sand or making excuses won't hide the shows problems and there are many.

I am not in denial about anything, I don't really care what EE get's, I will still watch it no matter what, as it entertains me.

I tackled it because when ED or Corrie don't get brilliant ratings none says anything, when EE get low ratings it's the end of the world.

I haven't been on here long enough to see Corrie get low ratings but Emmerdale is no different to what it always gets. Which is why Emmerdale doesn't come into it.

The bigger issue here is that EastEnders has managed to lose all the extra viewers it gained for Pat's death and funeral. So none of them thought the show was exciting enough to stick with it.

Corrie on the other hand has reached a peak of 11 million twice in as many weeks. Something EE couldn't even manage over Christmas.

So if I think in light of that EE needs to up its game then I am perfectly within in my rights to say so as a fan.

EE's ratings may be low but at least they're consistent. Corrie had a big high with Becky's exit last Monday and it was back down to normal figures by the Friday - the same will probably happen this week.

I'm not some EE hater or a troll either. I have defended Bryan Kirkwood several times on here in recent days to be exact. However I am concerned at the direction the show has been taking and I think any fan has a right to air their honest opinion. The hysterics when someone criticises the shows ratings performance however are ridiculous.

In my opinion that does sometimes appear to be the case. When Corrie get's lower ratings than EE no one says anything or panics, as they shouldn't.

To me it looks like all three soaps have had a good months. I think 8.69m is a good rating, pretty consistant within the range EE has been getting this month and considering it's not got any of the major stories happening, you can't grumble at that. I'm actually quite impressed that it got over 800k on BBC3. That's quite high for the BBC3 repeat.

Hungry Hippo you are absolutely right that you have every right to say what you think about EE and if it is your opinion that it needs to up it's game. I think what we were saying was that your opinion wasn't necessarily correlating with January's rating for EE.

Really? I would say it was. Corrie alone has managed to get a peak of 11 million twice in recent weeks yet EastEnders never hit that figure once in December or January? So you have to wonder why EE couldn't yet Corrie did.

All I see on here actually is when Corrie does do well a load of excuses get pulled out for EE underperming, the weather, football, etc. So a Corrie win always turns into an EE debate. Like last nights has so there is your proof.

Yet when Corrie rates low AND EE rates high no one cares because no Corrie fan feels they have to constantly defend Corrie.

You have to ask why EE fans feel they always must defend EE against a bad rating.

I fully expected Corrie to get 10m last night after the promotion. It also marked the beginning of the end for a storyline that has been running since 2010. The episodes also come off the back of a strong week last week. The show is on a roll atm and ratings are reflecting this.

The situation with EE is bizarre. You either get awful episodes or superb episodes-nothing inbetween it seems, yet ratings are more consistent than Corrie, which imo produces consistently decent episodes.

From my point of view both EE and ED are going through rough patches atm. ED's problem is due to an awful producer who doesn't understand the characters at all. For me EE's main problem is losing so many of its stronger cast in the last 2 years-this more than Bryan Kirkwood who is trying his best with the cast he has.

Rewind a few weeks back when EsdtEnders was on top every episode. Where were the corrie fans then? Corrie is pretty much Allways a head of EastEnders in the nain showing (unless they have a bit storyline) last night cortie was advertised so like any soap casual viewers will tune in. Ad fir

Corrie has got great overnight ratings for their two big stories, this week and last. They've done really well. I was talking about the whole of January ratings we have so far. I think both soaps (and ED) have had a good January.

I only defend EE, when someone says something that I disagree with. I don't know if these people are EE fans, Corrie fans or just some randomer who staggered into the wrong forum. If I disagree with an opinion, then I give my opinion.

Figures from BARB for final ratings for Jan so far:

EE - w/e 8 Jan
10.98m (Mon)
10.21m (Tue)
10. 20m (Thu)
9.84m (Fri)

Corrie- w/e 8 Jan
9.24m (Mon)
9.16m (Thu)
9.02m (Fri)
8.96m (Fri)
8.32m (Mon)

EE - w/e 15th Jan
9.99m (Fri)
9.77m (Mon)
9.55m (Thu)
9.45m (Tue)

Corrie - w/e 15th Jan
9.31m (Mon)
9.20m (Mon)
9.00m (Fri)
8.41m (Thu)
6.72m (Fri)

EE - w/e 22 Jan
9.96m (Mon)
9.56m (Tue)
9.55m (Fri)
9.53m (Thu)

Corrie - w/e 22 Jan
9.63m (Mon)
9.47m (Mon)
9.31m (Fri)
8.94m (Fri)
8.89m (Thu)


Corrie have obviously got that extra rating every week due to having one more episode than EE. Like I said, to me the ratings for Jan have appeared pretty close for both EE and Corrie. I'm sure Corrie will get good ratings for their big storylines over the past week. I'm glad. I think soap producers have one of the hardest jobs in television and even if I'm not a huge fan of all the soaps, I like it when they all do well and all push each other to do better.

Interesting figures there. Didn't realise that almost all of EE's official figures were higher than Corrie's for the same days.

After the whole Downton/EE situation at Christmas the immediate overnights are becoming increasingly unreliable - officials are the important thing.

Do those figures include HD for Corrie? EE's HD figures are included in the final rating on BARB, but for some reason HD stats for ITV aren't. I think all the Corrie figures should be at least 500k more.

I think someone else said that soaps always get high ratings in January, so it's safe to assume that it is one of the biggest months for all soaps. So you have to ask yourself why EastEnders doesn't have a major storyline running at the moment? Surely that is part of the problem...?

Yes EastEnders remained very consistent for about a month and for 3 weeks it was the most watched Programe on TV every night it aired

I haven't been on here long enough to see Corrie get low ratings but Emmerdale is no different to what it always gets. Which is why Emmerdale doesn't come into it.

The bigger issue here is that EastEnders has managed to lose all the extra viewers it gained for Pat's death and funeral. So none of them thought the show was exciting enough to stick with it.
Corrie on the other hand has reached a peak of 11 million twice in as many weeks. Something EE couldn't even manage over Christmas.

So if I think in light of that EE needs to up its game then I am perfectly within in my rights to say so as a fan.
Right from Xmas EastEnders managed to stay very consistent. On xmas day 9.9m tuned in and then 9.9m stayed for the Boxing day episode. 10.4m tuned in the day after (with a peak of 11m) the rest of the episodes between that and mid jan were either over 10million (with 11million peaks) or over 9 million (with over 10 million peaks)

Yet did all the EXTRA viewers from last Monday stick with corrie through to Thursday & Friday?

So that statement you've just came up with is total rubbish for a start.

AS for seeing when Corrie goes low-The thread is usuallly corrieless (meaning little posts from it's fans ) & going back a year ago corrie fans (not all) changed their mind on what was more important. Share or Figure depending on what was higher Have a litte search back
