Have never watched Hollyoaks but really tempted to start now after hearing so many great things about it and reading about tonight episode and the recent Hollyoaks Later. It seems to me its the only soap that can shock viewers with unexpected deaths and twists. Eastenders and Corrie the two soaps i do follow have been rather boring for me this year Also Hollyoaks seems to be taking over the soap forum message board

This has been Eastenders, Emmerdale and Corries worst year and Hollyoaks has been pretty good so probably yes.

It was crap from oct 2011 till about may but since then it has been on fire. DEFINITELY the best soap this year. Emmerdale is hit and miss, more hit but maurels continued existence brings the show down, i would put this in second place. Corrie is in bad shape at the moment but still has funny moments. Eastenders on the other hand has been DIABOLICAL for the last two years and im on the verge of giving up. I rate the soaps as:

1 - Hollyoaks

2 - Emmerdale

3 - Coronation Street

4 - Eastenders

Yes corrie is crap at the moment but NOTHING is worse than "Kat shagger" - the ultimate worst storyline of all time!

Yeah the Kat storyline has been a bit tedious but there has been other good storylines that have happened this year in Eastenders that weighs it out it's still overall been better than Corrie.

I rate my soaps as:
1. Eastenders (On times I could watch it all day!)
2. Hollyoaks
3. Corrie
4. Emmerdale

And although I am a die hard EE fan and have been since I was born practically, Hollyoaks has been amazing this year. Deserves to win awards! If I was you I'd watch a few more of this years episodes online (Sure you could find them on Youtube) Especially the very recent Mercedes saga. Its fantastic how they manage to keep things so under wrapped. Hollyoaks has never failed to shock!

Heard about the Stug storyline in May so I started watching and since then I have been hooked every single night. So much better than any of the other soaps at the moment

Why do Hollyoaks fans always create threads like these after 1 sensationalist storyline.

Maybe because for the past 6 months it has been better than all the other soaps? And im not just a HO fan i watch all 4 soaps so im not biased.
Why is it fans of other soaps never give HO the credit it deserves?

PunksNotDead you should give Hollyoaks a try.

It is very much on form at the moment.

I agree Hollyoaks is the best soap right now.

It was kind of boring at the start of the year but since around June ish it's gotten really good.

Hand on heart I have never watched hollyoaks before I always thought it was a show aimed at the teenager, Young adult demo so never really thought of it as a mainstream soap. Will definitely be checking out this recent crash storyline, might catch the omnibus if there is one, or just use catch-up

Also like the idea of Hollyoaks later, more soaps should have late night episodes.

The crash just happened on channel 4 tonight. The immediate aftermath is on tomorrow night channel 4.

I'm a Emmerdale and Doctors fan largely but have watched the big story's on Hollyoaks which have been brilliant! Yet to catch up on the Big crash but im sure I won't be disappointed! It's a real shame that actual good stories never seem to win the big awards Hollyoaks along with others have unfairly been robbed over the years!!

I watched Hollyoaks as soon as it first aired 16 years ago, I stopped watching it after Paul Marquess ruined it beyond repair. I've watched the occasional episode over the last couple of years, but it is unrecognisable and nowhere near it's best. So think twice before rolling your eyes at me.

You watched through Lucy Allens era which was the worst the soap has ever been but you gave up on Paul Marquess's era which gave us the costellos, brendan, silas mitzeee etc. This post definitely deserves a few

Yes Paul Marquess is the worst soap producer of all time.

The 7 characters you named were awful and I can think of a lot more who were rubbish from his time and I'm not even going to start about his dreadful storytelling which included a student who thought he was an alien.
