Don't be daft.

I would have to say Eastenders, followed by Emmerdale.

Doctors for me. Only a small cast, but each and every one of them are great. The EastEnders cast are very good, but there are a few weak links.

Best cast in what way? Acting - EastEnders Dynamics- Emmerdale

Although I prefer to watch Hollyoaks and Eastenders, I think Coronation Street has the best cast. Plenty of long serving characters and two original cast members, which is amazing for a show that began over fifty years ago. Plenty of Corrie "legends" around too and I like some of the newer additions to the cast.

I think it has to be Corrie. So many of their cast have spent most of their lives in the show and there is a sense of history and strong characterisation there that needs to be acknowledged.

There are loads of people in my work who have been there for years and years but some of them are still useless. Quantity of years does not equate to quality of performance.

Definitely EastEnders for me. Though tbh any cast that has actors/actresses of Timothy West, Annette Badland, Steve McFadden, June Brown and Linda Henry's calibre is going to be a strong cast IMO.

They all have some really great stars so for me it's more a question of which has the least weak links.

Emmerdale because it's the smallest cast of the 4 big soaps. and for me it has the most attractive cast.

Most definitely. It didn't take Dom long to form a great cast. The foundations were already there and he just got rid of most or kirkwood and Lorraine's additions. For me Dexter, Fatboy, Lee, tosh, Kim, Whitney, kat, mo and Alfie are the weak links. But even then Shona has improved greatly, Jessie and Shane at least have proved there worth in the past and dannyboy is still starting out.

No Coronation Street need a clear out. Terrible actors most of them.

Blimey eastenders has left the other soaps trailing behind. And people on here keep harping on that it's going to be axed!

Rubbish. All rubbish. Eastenders ? It's rubbish. Rubbish cast. I could act better than that. Absolute rubbish. Coronation Street ? Are they any good ? Are they 'eckers, like, they're rubbish an all. All of 'em are rubbish. Rubbish actors. Emmerdale - total rubbish. Full of rubbish acting. I could teach them all how to act if they want. Hollyoaks is rubbish as well. They are all rubbish. Doctors ? Don't make me laugh. Total rubbish. Rubbish cast.

Pobol Y Cwm ? That's not bad I suppose. Especially Gaynor. She's a good actress. The rest of 'em are rubbish though. Total rubbish.

Just sayin'

Corrie needs to do it gradually, if they start a mass axing it would cause uproar. Most of its viewers seem to prefer familiarity over quality.

But what do you really think of the soaps. Mo?
Apart from Hollyoaks, I think they are all past their sell-by date.
