They don't get recognition and praise for the work they have done. Hollyoaks is a small soap but even get some recognition sometimes but i never know why emmerdale doesn't. What are you lot opinions of this?

I love Emmerdale and it sometimes annoys me, increasingly as I have became a regular viewer, that they are very much pushed out. They have been on for over 40 years now so must be doing something right. I think it has a great mix of everything and very much it's on strong identity that they haven't seemed to have lost...and that's speaking as someone who use to watch regularly in the late & early 90s/00s.

I blame ITV for the lack of the lack of recognition for Emmerdale
Corrie is their 'golden soap,' even at times when it's at its WORST like now |

Don't watch Emmerdale but from the outside looking in it seems as if they try to show they can be the top soap and last year they seemed to have had a real effort of achieving that. However, ITV will never let it eclipse Corrie by any means.

Why are you so obsessed with Emmerdale OP, a show you have admitted you don't enjoy and find boring? Why do you care? Every thread I've seen of yours is about Emmerdale, even though you claim to find it 'boring'. Am I missing something here?

It may never be as 'big' but arguably there are times when produces a better standard of drama than the 'big two' however this idea comes from the two soaps having a wider fanbase (fair enough) than Emmerdale. I think as a team Emmerdale have a better collection of actors/actresses than Eastenders at least

I never said you hated Emmerdale. Also, you think it's okay, not great or awful. That's interesting because just three days ago, you started this thread, which is titled 'Emmerdale is awful atm'. So in one episode you've gone from thinking it's 'awful' to 'okay but not great.' That's quite a turn around!

It may never be as big in terms of viewing figures, but personally I have gone from having it on in the background for decades to watching every ep as religiously as I watch every ep of Corrie.
ED has more than its fair share of excellent actors, has some gripping sls and has got much much better at balancing out high drama with light comedy in a credible way. It's on top form for me at the moment.

Winning Best Soap seems to be a pretty fair compromise
