As Keller said, it's a big hit with the kind of demographic who traditionally vote for these types of things. Also I imagine for a large bulk of that audience it's the only soap they watch.

Or it could just be that it's the most popular. Funny how these threads don't pop up when Corrie wins best soap at any given awards show.

It's simple logistics, really. More people vote for it in the categories that they win. Voila!

I am guessing but I suppose it must be that there are millions of people who like and enjoy something that insults their intelligence.

Given your username your opinion of EE is hardly surprising.

If you have stopped watching it then you can't comment on its current quality.

Currently, I don't reckon any of the soaps deserve an award.

But they only win because they are compared with other equally badly written and badly acted soaps. It's like saying which is the tallest of the seven dwarves and giving him an award for being tall.

So i like corrie i'm just saying ive watched bits and peices of it since i stopped watching it and it still looks boring i just think its the most overrated and that other soaps deserve just as much time and awards as EE does.

When I come home from a hard day at work, after cooking my dinner and cleaning up in the kitchen all I want to do is to curl up on my sofa and watch something which has good characters and well written scripts. I don't want to watch something "intelligent" I want to watch something where I can escape for half an hour.

What I don't get is why so many people take so much store by these awards, What do these awards actually represent? Nothing, all they are is an excuse for the actors to put on their gladrags and gone on a bit of a bender. The awards themselves are pointless. If Hollyjokes won best soap I wouldn't then suddenly start watching Hollyjokes. I'd carry on watching the soaps that I still watch now. The awards don't really influence people to watch those soaps and the only really way to work out the quality of a show nowdays is how many ratings that show gets.

Channel, geological location, audience and demographic have a lot to do with it.

Well written scripts ? Yes, of course.

To be fair though, if you haven't watched it in a year, you can't really say anything about its quality at the moment. Janine is great yeah but everyone else crap? There are loads of great characters, including classic characters like Phil, Ian, Sharon ect.

Why does EE win the most awards? Because more people vote for it.

What Can you do if you're upset about this and want to make a difference? Get every single person that you know to vote for the soap you want to win in order to try and counteract this.

Why are people who haven't watched the show in a year commenting on the quality? I don't really know...

Well obviously it got more of the votes!

TV ratings count for nothing anymore with all of the +1, omnibus' and catch-up services not to mention Sky+.

So anyone suggesting that it's a travesty how they beat Coronation Street is rather gullible.
