Coronation Street - Carla
Emmerdale - Debbie
EastEnders - Mick
Hollyoaks - Ste

Yeah? No?

I would want Carla to be the main character but it would probably be David.

Hollyoaks I would agree Ste or Freddie a few years ago Mercedes.

EastEnders I definitely agree.

Mick is already the main character of EastEnders, so it wouldn't be a question if if EastEnders had a main character or not.

But isn't Mick based on DTC's dead father?

Don't really agree with the thread to be honest, sorry!!
If you'd given us a core of ten say, that would have been good but over reliance on one character just leads to complete overkill of said character, as has happened with Carla in Corrie already for me!!

At the minute mock is the main character because he is based on dtcs late father.

Really this type of addtitude disgusts me as there shouldn't be a main character...

If we had one it should be Ian as he has been am there since day one and only a few major breaks. Sharon has been in and out and dot was away for 3 years and 6 months a couple of years ago.Phil also arrived 5 years later and was absent for a full year in 2005.

Ee is an essamble but right now it's the mock and Shirley show.

Don't really understand the question, OP. Do you mean your favourite character? The one you think should be featured the most? The one who impinges on the most storylines? The best actor?

Emmerdale - Cain. I know he hasn't been in it much lately but when I think of Emmerdale I think of Cain.

Home & Away - Brax (unfortunately as I don't like him).

I always really want to like Carla more, because the character is interesting, but I can never get past Allison Kings awful mumbling, it's tricky to understand what she says sometimes.

Whhhhaaaatttttt?

I'm not saying that there SHOULD be one main character, but I'm just hypothetically if there was one main character who would it be?

There's nothing to 'agree' or 'disagree' with about the thread. It's just a bit of fun.

Are you aiming that at me? This was literally only meant as a bit of fun. I wasn't suggested for one second that there should be one main character, but in a parallel universe - who would it be? A bit like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. I'm more than just a bit surprised that some people haven't been able to grasp my obvious intentions with this light-hearted and hypothetical-natured thread.

I mean: If the soaps suddenly decided that there needed to be one main character - who would they pick based on their current output? You could say who you would want too though. It's pure hypothetical and not at all a reflection of what SHOULD happen.

I don't know about the other soaps but EE's main character would probably be Mick 'the farter' Carter!

Neighbours would be Paul. It basically is anyway.

I don't think many of them could have one main character. Like for Emmerdale, I don't think you could choose one, but it'd be a mix of Chas/Aaron/Debbie.. basically the Dingles. But if there HAD to be one, it'd probably be Chas imo. She's definitely one of the most prominent cast members, in fact she's appeared in most episodes this year only second to Robert.
