Corrie. Stopped watching it regularly after the tram crash and the last ep I saw in full was Hayley's demise.

I stopped watching Corrie regularly after the Rovers fire last year, and turned off completely when the Tina/Peter affair began, only tuning in to see her get killed by Rob. I haven't watched since, I like Marc Baylis but even he's not enough to make me watch.

EastEnders, I used to love it as a teenager but I started going off it in 2010. I now only watch the occasional big episode like Lucy's death which was very well done but not enough for me to start tuning in regularly. I just don't really care about any of the characters anymore.

I gave up on Hollyoaks last year and refuse to tune back in until the show drafts in a team of writers and storyliners who don't treat characters like crash test dummies.

I haven't watched Neighbours, Home and Away and Emmerdale in years. I stopped watching Eastenders since Pauline Fowler's awful exit. I'm considering stopping Corrie and Hollyoaks as both are shite and I spend more time mocking them than enjoying them.

I went off Corrie recently, which is a real shame as I love the episode thread banter Also went off Eastenders during the Newman era, but only kept watching to make fun of it on here

Haven't watched Eastenders for about 7 or 8 years now and I haven't watched Neighbours or Home and Away for about 12-13 years. Just lost interest in the remaining characters at the time.

Yes, neighbours, around he time that Annalise came in, home and away around the same time, and EE when they killed off Bradley.

I only watch ED and Corrie these days, and I watch EE on the odd occasion to remind myself just why I dumped it.

Eastenders. Stopped watching it as soon as Syed and Christian left. It was bad then but i stuck it out for them. Not watched it since.
Still watch the other 3 main soaps, dip in and out of ED, but watch HO and CS religiously.

EastEnders, pretty much completely at the tail end of last year and the majority of this although I watch it occasionally now.

Well its going to get better in September because of the Fire and Stacey coming out of prison and the big twist that is still to come you never know you might start to love it again by Christmas time or the 30th

Yes, Emmerdale. Haven't been a regular viewer for a couple of years when it was one of my favourite shows.

Saw a bit this week and thought Verity Rushworth was excellent. But people like Marlon put me right off getting back into it.

If I were I would see how Eastenders goes until just after the 30th and if you still don't like it give up sometime after the 30th

I loathe Stacey and Ronnie so I'm not too excited to see September. I'II stick with the woolpack.

The Woolpack is boring. Not even any music in the background

I thought Emmerdale was terrible this week actually. Sure the exit of Donna was good but the plot had so many holes in and it reminded me of 2006 when i actually stopped watching.

On the flip side EastEnders could do with a kick right up the Vic. It's too inconsistent at present and storylines go missing for weeks on end. I love the Carters though.

I liked Stacey back in the day but Ronnie is so boring and very overrated.
Would sooner see Peggy or Grant return.

Coronation Street and Emmerdale but I do watch them on ITV player sometimes and the characters I love in Coronation Street are David, Kylie, Leanne, Sophie and sometimes Tracy and Steve and I like Faye, Amy and Simon and Max and in Emmerdale I love Debbie, Belle and Gabby and April and Cain and Charity, Victoria and sometimes I like Rhona and Laurel and Marlon but only sometimes that is why I watch them o ITV player sometimes so I can skip the bits I don't like. I have watched Hollyoaks before band I sometimes watch it online and I love Sienna and Sinead and Tom and Peri. I use to watch Home And Away and I loved it when Jesse McGregor and Rachel and the Nash family and Sally and Vinnie and Hayley and Will and Shauna were all in it and sometimes I watch neighbours but not everyday but I watched it more when it was on BBC One. The only soap I watch religiously is Eastenders .

Well Stacey is a much better character she is not screechy and she has atured as a character and Ronnie is better now as well maybe start watching it again and see how things go until the 30th and if you still think things are really bad then stop watching just after the 30th until a new EP comes along. Do you think Lacey and Samantha can act?
