I think EE was bad last week, but it managed to beat all of Emmerdale's big anniversary episodes, it also beat corrie the other week, and it only losses out to emmerdale in a clash, and it beat them in a clash the other week, not to mention the gap between corrie and EE is really small! The only reason Corrie beat them by almost 1 million viewers on Friday, was because these are some of Corrie's biggest episodes this year, and Corrie have pretty much always beat EastEnders in the ratings when they have a big storyline going on, and vice versa, EE beat corrie for Lucy's death, and Phil's shooting

its a tradition on christmas day to watch eastenders. people who wouldn't look twice at a continuing drama the rest of the year decide to watch on christmas day. why? probably because the residents of e20 are having a worse christmas than the rest of us and makes our christmas more bearable.

oh how i wish we still had eric and ern

Thing is...the trial in Corrie isn't even that good, it only got interesting when Carla was being questioned.

I love that Sally B! I'm not an EE fan - but I'm sure it will get best ratings anyway - besides - it's got Doctor who to help it along!!
People like me will be recording everything anyway......stuff the ratings! As long as my favourite soap/s are on - fair enough......I'll watch then on Boxing Day!

EE will win, and rightly so.
I haven`t watched EE in years, but I`m sure it will trounce Corrie in the ratings this year. Stuart Blackburn has ruined Corrie, and he needs to go.
Hopefully some EE wins at the awards will hasten Blackburns departure.

erm that links from christmas 2012. Heres the right one for 2013 BBC1 comedy Mrs Brown's Boys was the surprise winner of the Christmas Day TV ratings battle, with traditional favourite EastEnders suffering a viewer slump with its lowest-rating festive edition in at least a decade with 7.8 million .http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...rs-browns-boys

Corrie will win, but EastEnders more than deserves to.

Are we counting Downton as a Soap?

If not i'd say it will most likely be EE as it has been a stronger year and unless Corrie have something huge up their sleeves which hasn'( leaked EE looks to have the better storylines - assuming our guess of a Dean rape and Shirley is mick's mum double reveal does actuAlly happen.

No matter how hard they try Emmerdale never seems to be in the running - the '3rd soap' tag and also being on in an earlier time slot opposite the end of the kiddie movie and Who. I mean I love Emmerdale but i'd put Who on over it any day of the week. And everybody else in my family feels the same!
