I am 14. I regularly watch Corrie and sometimes the occasional EE, but hardly ever because it is so boring. Have started to tune back in for the Den's body storyline

I watch Corrie religously and I'm a boy and nobody makes fun of me because believe it or not, not everybody in this country is so narrow minded that they believe that its feminine to watch soaps. And anybody who does is very insecure about themselves and are far too bothered about what other people think of themselves.

I'am 16 and I watch Hollyoaks and Eastenders... None makes fun of me. Why do people think its only females who are allowed to watch soaps. My grandad watches Corrie, Emmerdale and Eastenders... its common for men to watch soaps. And figures have stated more than half of men know what is happening in a soap without watching it and usally looking in the tele mag :P

I'm a 19 year old guy and I watch Emmerdale, Eastenders, Neighbours and Hollyoaks(and The Bill if you could that as a soap).
All of the guys I know watch Eastenders and/or Hollyoaks. I don't know any other guys that watch Emmerdale and no-one I know(male or female) except my mother watches Coronation Street.

I follow Eastenders religiously and I occassionally watch Corrie. I also watch things like Casualty and Holby City but I suppose they are drama really.

I'm 19, and am strict Emmerdale (my absolute fav), Corrie and EE only... though I do enjoy my US night-time 80's powersoaps (Dynasty and Falcon Crest). I was inot The Bill back when it was crime of the week, ala Casualty with it's accident of the week formula, can't stand them now they've gone soapy! Also I find Hollyoaks the biggest pile of pish this side of Family Affairs!

I'm sure there are straight men who watch soaps, but how many of them would watch if their wife/girlf/mum stopped watching?

I am a man in the States and I watch One Life to Live, Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital. As far as UK shows, I watch Footballers Wives (even Extra Time) and have seen season 6 of Bad Girls (only for Tanya) I am gay, if that matters, but I have watched these American shows since 1988 (Bold and the Beautiful for the past 8 years)
