YES.

EastEnders is good, there seems to be loads of storylines that are slowly coming together, Carols cancer has been really good this week, aswell as the Charlie Cotton mystery.

Hollyoaks has been really good this week, the Patrick/Maxine reveal has been brill. The 6 weeks of summer trailer looks promising too.

I enjoyed Emmerdale & the Adam Barton Drugs epsiodes last night, they were handled well IMO.

Corrie, well, boring as ever. Nick flying off the handle constantly is starting to bore me.

I'm absolutely loving Emmerdale this summer. Corrie not so much, but it'll get better again soon enough, so I tend not to throw strops when my fave soaps go through bad patches now and again.

Pfft, how vanilla are you!

Enjoying Corrie, though it sags in places. Every other soap is unwatchable.

EastEnders has been great lately, it's really turned a corner. Lots of stuff coming up too.

Corrie is definitely going through a rough patch, it's just so dull. Nick is the only good thing about it to be honest.

I'm still enjoying my Emmerdale and Corrie. I'm even enjoying EastEnders (which I don't normally bother with).....all three are good for me at the moment

In relation to the soaps that I regularly enjoy watching they all seem OK (Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, and Home and Away). I would say that I am enjoying watching Hollyoaks the most though at the moment.

Enjoying Emmerdale immensely lately, I have no inclination to switch on any of the others.

I only watch Eastenders, which I'm enjoying at the moment. I might watch the odd Corrie but it's so bad it's rare that I bother to catch it.

I enjoyed seeing Nick acting like his baby brother and being naughty. He's been a lot funnier recently. He huffs well too.

Eastenders is excellent at the moment. Corrie is dire. Emmerdale is good too.

Hollyoaks is brill at the moment and so is Doctors. Emmerdale is okay but Corrie and Eastenders are rank.

I am thoroughly enjoying Eastenders and Hollyoaks. Eastenders has been strong this week with the Charlie storyline coming back to the forefront, and also some really powerful scenes with Carol at the hospital.

And the major developments in the Patrick and Maxine storyline have kept me riveted to Hollyoaks.

Coronation Street continues to limp along. It's not been compulsive viewing for me all year, except Tina week.

Another vote for this. Emmerdale is on cracking form right now. Great characterisation and some really good writing going on at the moment - love how the Ross/Donna stuff pulled in Finn and is running alongside Adam going off the rails.

Don't feel remotely tempted to watch the others, tho' I hear good things about EEnders these days.

I'm enjoying Emmerdale's Sexy Ross/Doomed Donna storyline.

Like Geeky Finn (a pity that he and Robbie won't happen). And Bernice & Nicola have been a good laugh lately.

Not looking forward to Aaron's return, though.

Corrie is not so great at the moment.

Hollyoaks could have been better if they ddin't make such a mess of storylines such as John Paul's rape. And don't get me started on the gangster nonsense and Roscoe overload (even though I do like Joe Roscoe, for purely shallow reasons).

I'm enjoying Eastenders. Corrie seems to be going through a very long rough patch.

I've given up on Emmerdale

HO - really good.
ED - good.
EE - fairly good.
CS - really poor.

I'm enjoying Neighbours immensely. It's really hitting it's stride right now, and has recaptured the heart of what it used to be, without dropping the ball on drama.

Emmerdale is holding my attention, It's picked up the pace. I guess I'm enjoying Hollyoaks simply b/c it's the climax to the dragged out abuse story. EastEnders is OK.

Every other soap is unwatchable.
Every other soap? Over statement much, Cit? Neighbours is the most watchable it has been for years. The last two months (which happen to be all new EP Jason Herbison's material) is proof of that.

Not looking forward to Aaron's return, though.
Me neither. Aaron's return could make me tune out (again), depending on how he's written.
