Silas would Own serial killer Lucas!
Walker/Brendan will Own 50 year old Phil!
Stendan is much better than Chryed!
Riley shot was more dramatic than Jack getting Shot!
The Mcqueen family is more interesting than the the Jacksons!

I like how Hollyoaks developed Nancy, from a red haired tattooed schoolgirl!

Overall Hollyoaks has far better storylines than EE right now!

I agree with your points about the characters. When HO is brilliant I think it beats all the other soaps, but when its dire its truly dire. I still think EE good.
I have to say for me the EE teens are more likeable than the HO ones.
For me HO have a group of top actors/actresses, I think EE have more top actors/actresses.

LOL can you imagine if Phil Mitchell came up to Brendan Brady and start giving him "the big I am" he would be dead the next day.

or hacked up

When HO get it right, they are numero uno above all other soaps. Regrettably at this time, it looks very much they are slipping back into a decline.(I hope not but I live in hope)

Though the baby Osborne SL is kind of interesting, it is on a par with alot of other stories covered by other soaps. The bullying SL in HO is only good because Esther is playing the bullied character so well but the bullys and their friends are played by characters that people don't much like and it is becoming frustrating that is is continuing without interference form an adult.

I agree with your analysis OP though. The characters in HO and SLs if written well are far more superior and would wipe the face off EE.

Yes the Osborne baby went into full depth of information for example they were told the prem baby could have, hearing and visual impairment as well as learning difficulty!

Of all the weeks EE Janine has been in hospital, they never bought this up, the only thing the doctors had to say was "We will know after more tests" or "You gotta prepare for the worst" I know its true but you need to going to depth if you want realism.

...the point of this thread is?

Seems like cheap potshots and point scoring to me.

Can't you just enjoy Hollyoaks without comparing it to other soaps?

Well, if Hollyoaks is so fantastic right now then why do you feel the need to put another show down in order to prop it up?

At last.

EE (and Corrie) can be quite smug really, so 'putting them down' isn't something to be bothered about. I never like Corrie, EE has its moments, but is forever depressing. A good depiction of the norms of southern life, though

hollyoaks has been great recently and so many surprises with lynsey and riley.They have always been able to tackle storylines other soaps can't.
Being a teen soap it has to have it's teenagers but i find all the sixth formers annoying.

Brenadan brady is the best soap character.

In your opinion maybe. I think Hollyoaks is quite capable and does have some really good storylines but overall its still too... I dont know I just cant see it as a proper soap... I probably never will so I do not agree.

True. I would agree with that. EE just hasn't been up to scratch for a long, long time.

It's not about ruling the roost at all I just don't see the need for point scoring.

People should watch and comment on what they enjoy, not try to get other people's backs up with the comparisons.

I was thinking that just now. I haven't watched eastenders last week much as the storyline is boring me and I couldn't care less about who Kat has slept with. Seriously Eastenders need to think of something more interesting.
Hollyoaks is my favourite soap it deserves more credit than it gets and it does different storylines and tackles other storylines.

Nearly all the EE cast can out act the whole of the HO cast.
