Corrie. They are blessed to have so many actors with the ability to do drama and comedy.

EastEnders for me, such a talented bunch with only one or two exceptions.

Emmerdale, for characters too they seem to be more realistic and believable. Easier to care about the whole than the minority

Emmerdale - Not only the best cast but also has the most likable characters in my opinion.

A few years back when actors like Michael French, Lindsey Coulson, Jessie Wallace, Charlie Brooks, Steve John Shepherd were around I would have voted EastEnders but I think the current cast, although still with talent is below Emmerdale.
I voted Emmerdale. |

For me, definitely Emmerdale it's why I can't get into the others.

I guess it's unfair me voting since I only watch one soap but I do genuinely think Corrie has a wonderful cast, a great mix of young, old, comedy, tragic, likeable, villainous, ordinary, OTT, new & established....
Now all we need to work on is the writing for them all & even that is way better than it was 4 months ago!! |

I only watch Eastenders and Emmerdale and Emmerdale's cast is well above Eastenders cast. Too many of the Eastenders cast are wooden. I also don't feel that Eastenders cast act natural, a lot feels very forced. I personally feel that there is no natural chemistry with the actors and actresses in Eastenders. With Emmerdale, i feel like everything seem's more natural. They deliver their lines better and characters can blend into other characters scenes easily without it looking forced.
I don't necessarily know if it's down to the cast or if it's how the show is directed, but Eastenders constantly feel's like it's on edge. Even when the characters are being normal and having fun, you feel like at any moment something is going to blow up. With Emmerdale, i don't get that feeling, the characters don't constantly look on edge and over dramatic. Like i said though, this could just be how the shows are directed. |

In the days of Annie Walker, Hilda Ogden and Blanche Hunt it would have been Corrie for me. But these days there are so many awful amateurs spoiling what used to be my favourite Soap, it is definitely Emmerdale for me now.
Looking at Corrie's low rating in this Poll it looks as if most voters feel the same, at the moment it is even rated beneath Hollyoaks.

Emmerdale overall. They just have a couple weak links here and there, but as a whole it is a strong cast.
