Corrie only. I used to watch EastEnders on and off but haven't bothered for a while now, although do like to see what Phil Mitchell gets up to.

I watch Corrie, Emmerdale and Hollyaoks as far as UK soaps go and for US soaps I watch Tyler Perry's soaps, The Haves and The Have Nots, If Loving You is Wrong and Too Close to Home. Oh and Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder but IDK if they count as true soaps.

Although I only watch Corrie and Hollyoaks regularly, I used to watch most of the rest. I still dip into Emmerdale occasionally.

Surprised home and away is so unpopular. Prefer it to Neighbours.

I don't remember ever equaling your record total but I go phrases where I can watch many at once it depends on my circumstances and what's going on in them.

Essentially though, Emmerdale is my number one. Next of kin is Home and Away, Neighbours, Coronation Street, Fair City and River City.

No, I've never seen Madam Secrectary, is that the one with Katherine Higel or Tea Leonie?

Scandal is very soapy to me, when people ask me what Scandal is like like I tell them its 24 meets The West Wing meets Days of Our Lives

I used to watch Home and Away but got fed up of all the sensationalism, crime, the awful Braxtons then the awful Morgans, so gave it up. I wish it would go back to its roots.

Sensationalism and crime - that's why you like it!! Just out of interest where do you find the time to watch 10 soaps?! By the time I get home from work, make tea. eat it, do the washing up and any other little jobs that need doing, I barely have time to watch 1 now! I can't remember the last time I watched Emmerdale 'live'.

Tea Leonie, the first series was really good, 2nd was a bit iffy in patches but mostly good.

I haven't seen 24, west wing or days of our lives.

Actually got free box sets from sky at the mo, might see if they have the west wing always wanted to see it

Eastenders and Neighbours mainly, but I have been getting back into Home and Away after a very long break (at least a decade) and I am beginning to dip back into Corrie again.

I know how its works and a friend was a big fan but I am not really into action stuff like that, I dunno it just never interested me and the lead is not hot

Jack Bauer is the man, he cannot be defeated. The show had a lot of soap elements too.
