Hollyoaks better than EastEnders?
I've been an EE fan for years and an on/off HO fan for years (until this year when I've started watching it full time)
IMO the EE storylines are crap at the minute and all over the place! Whereas HO is unmissable, say what you like about Bryan Kirkwood but I think he is a far better producer than DTC! |

Hollyoaks these days is more like the late 90's/early 2000's American soaps but without the supernatural stuff some had.

Why do Hollyoaks fans always want to compare it against EE and not the other 2 soaps?
You can keep Bryan Kirkwood for as long as you like as we are quite happy with Dominic Treadwell Collins. |

Hollyoaks is too ridiculous to take seriously. It's like having a McDonalds it tastes good but doesn't fill you. EastEnders is still a show that requires thinking and has nuance and depth. You can't compare the two.

This time last year I would've completely agreed with you and earlier this year but right now hollyoaks is awful and I'm not really a big fan of EastEnders.

Lol you 'avin a larrf? If a OTT-like American soap is your thing then yeah HO is better 👍 prefer EE myself, the acting is diabolical in HO and as Bryan Kirkwood said they have no imagination that's why they have to keep doing these silly stunts every week to keep the stupid Tweens on twitter happy and claiming " OMG HO is the best like evarr OMG"!

Why would it be a threat to other soaps? Years ago maybe but not really now. You could say that about all soaps not just EastEnders. You always bring up corrie, so why can't people bring easties into it? |

For all of you calling me an "HO fan" yeah I am but I'm also an EE fan and have it watching it for years I don't prefer Hollyoaks I just think. It is better at the minute IMO. I also watch ED, corrie, neighbours, casualty and waterloo road but I think HO and EE are the best and that's why I mentioned them

I completely agree! Hollyoaks is miles better than Eastenders! It is OTT and that's what brilliant about. Eastenders is far too predictable ATM. I actually look forward to watching Hollyoaks and enjoy myself while I'm watching. There hasn't been one Eastenders storyline which has had me on the edge of my seats and I often find myself bored during the episodes.

I'm sure its not just EastEnders that's gets criticed on here. Why would it be a threat to other soaps? Years ago maybe but not really now. You could say that about all soaps not just EastEnders. You always bring up corrie, so why can't people bring easties into it?

I love Hollyoaks but I love it because it's pure entertainment, when I watch it, it doesn't depress me, it doesn't bore me, it cheers me up and it's something fun to watch of an evening.
When I watch Eastenders I describe it like I almost have to tell myself I'm going to feel bad watching this show so make a decision here for your own mental health not to watch it. So I just read the guides online to get an idea of what's going on as actually watching it depresses me lol Also Hollyoaks has so much of a faster pace going on and the fact they can do that 5 times a week is incredible. An example would be like Johnny in Eastenders is leaving after a year and has hardly done anything within that year, if he was in Hollyoaks he would have done what he would have achieved in about 5 years on Eastenders. And that's why Hollyoaks is the best British soap for me because it just has something easy to watch, ongoing ideas and it doesn't cross the line into dreariness. It's gorgeously filmed, has beautiful people, is silly, it's not real...it's just easy and it has a lot of action. |

Well, let's see. Eastenders has well-acted characters that people really care about. And decent writers who actually know how people speak. And some compelling storylines, told in a reasonably coherent way. And a vaguely believable environment in which people work and play and fight, the way that humans do.
And Hollyoaks has a train. My vote goes to Eastenders. |
