Slightly annoying now really when it is obvious both shows are doing better then Eastenders, even if it is for the time being.

I'm sure when EE have built up new characters, got rid of boring ones, introduced new dynamics and started plots, this time next year they will be great. But give it up already!

I have seen no evidence of that on this forum, the majority of EE fans know our show hasn't be great for a long time.

But in regards to the post I think all soaps fans are guilty of that from time to time.

Then would read the articles that DS write and the comments left below and I have seen it on here, like I said "SOME" are doing so,

Love the name by the way

Don't see much of this to be honest but do see a lot of HO and Em fans forever ripping into EE claiming, the second soap title - never seen a bunch of people aspire so much to be second best... what happened to aspiring to be first??

Really just enjoy what you enjoy and let other people enjoy what they enjoy... it doesn't mater whether 10 people watch it or 10 million as long as you enjoy it.

After years of EE bragging they are the number one soap, so when they do it is is "ripping into"

Thanks Peter.

I have no idea why soaps fans would rip other soaps apart considering they are all pretty much the same thing. I hate when anyone starts the argument of "soap X is doing an X storyline soap Y done that storyline last year, Soap X is copying Y" Puuuleassse!

I think Coronation Street was very strong last year - I'm not a regular viewer of that soap. Emmerdale & Hollyoaks are currently very strong - I dip in and out of these. I guess many people have loyalty to their favourites and that's me speaking as someone who use to be that way towards EastEnders, the blinkers are way and truly off with that one though.

It happens on all the soap threads. Posters slagging off another soap. Bit sad really.

Why are you getting so upset about it? It's like when people don't like your favourite character, you shouldn't get annoyed about it, everyone's entitled to their own opinion

To be honest, your post is a little hypocritical as you 'demean' Eastenders by bring up how Hollyoaks and Emmerdale are "doing better than Eastenders". Also, like pat said, there's no evidence of this on this forum at least.

Everyone is critical of a soap for whatever reason. I think that's fine as it is part of the discussion. Who cares what some fans think? Just ignore and enjoy the soap you enjoy.

Does it matter? I'm a Hollyoaks only viewer now and people love to slag it off but I don't care. It's the people who never watch it so why should it matter what they're saying. If it makes them happy to berate what others enjoy then it's a bit sad but just leave them to it. Not worth getting annoyed over tbh.

I love a bit of light hearted rivalry, EE fans are like Leeds United sometimes, a Football Club who used to be massive and had rivalries with Chelsea and Manchester United.... now they're rubbish and desperately trying to form rivalries with crappy clubs like Donny Rovers.

Yeah, I've seen a few EE fans I know from EE threads seek out Hollyoaks specific threads simply to slag the show off. It's just a bit sad tbh, nothing to worry about.

At the moment in quality alone EE is the third soap, ratings wise its flitting between second and third place.

But EE like Corrie,Emmerdale ect is still just a bog standard repetitive production.

Very true. Like EE's inability to create new characters that can stick around for many years, DS trolls just aren't what they used to be.

Somw of the biggest critics of Emmerdale around here are some of the Emmerdale fans, so i couldn't disagree more with the OP!

I touched on this in another thread, but a sizeable number think half the cast are wooden or rubbish actors.
Many of the characters are either hated, disliked, or have complete indifference shown towards them.
Stories accused of being being drawn out, repetative, ridiculous, boring.

There wss so much negativity i genuinely wondered why some fm's carried on watching.
