After watching EE for the last two nights and thinking about what is used to be like I have realised the acting on Corrie is abysmal and very panto. While with EE it might be rubbish sometimes but the actors on that show are real actors with real talent as tonight showed once again. Emmerdale also has real actors Corrie is the one letting the side down with drama school style acting.

Actually, some of the best episodes of Corrie are when nothing major is happening Last Sunday's episode, for example, was wonderful and one of my favourite episode's of Corrie this year, even though it was a pretty uneventful episode in terms of storyline's.

Shame we've been back to complete mundane rubbish since then though

Corries not a bad soap thats for sure but i can't believe the amount of viewiers they get if i we're incharge of Itv i'd put corrie in a tea time slot and take Emmerdale in Corries slot,why?


Emmerdale can do everything better then Corrie,Action storylines Emmerdale do perfect,Corrie couldn't even do Killer katty without messing it up big time .Emmerdale put Comedy in the right slots that suit the right time not day in day out,minute after minute.

Eastenders will always be the top dogs for me,they dont use that much comedy but there storylines have you gripped and really big out the skill the actors have.

Coronation Street is very bad at the moment, there's no denying that. And it has quite a few poor actors, particularly Sean Wilson (Martin), Bruce Jones (Les), Vicky Entwistle (Janice) and Jimmi Harkishin (Dev). However, Corrie does have some very good actors as well, like Sue Nicholls (Audrey), Debra Stephenson (Frankie), Jane Danson (Leanne), Sue Cleaver (Eileen) and Barbara Knox (Rita).

EastEnders has some talented actors too, like June Brown (Dot) and Pam St Clement (Pat), but you can't possibly say that all of its actors are brilliant! As much as I like Barbara Windsor in the Carry On films, serious actress she is not! And since when has Shane Ritchie been "a real actor with real talent"? Nigel Harman does not deserve any 'best actor' awards either.

I can't comment on Emmerdale as I do not watch it.

I admit that Corrie doesn't have some of the best actors, then again, others are fantastic. I think the way comedy is intwined with drama is fantastic and it's definitely a show that doesn't take itself seriously, unlike EastEnders. I won't bash EE though, I am an avid fan of both, but for different reasons. I could never imagine Coronation Street doing drama like EastEnders does, because they wouldn't pull it off, and vice versa.

Corrie has talented actors, but they have gone to waste with the silly storylines.

Emma has strong actors, that support the storylines well...

EE doesn't. I'm sorry but there are very few who have that. The actors who play Dot, Pat, Jim, Yolande, Patrick, Ruby, Chrissie, Johnny, Pauline and Sonia are the only ones who have any sort of talent. They seem to be the ones, who can pull off a storyline...the rest is just abysmal. Babs Windsor is only famous for flashing her boobs in Carry On films, Letitia Dean has shown she is only good enough for EE and panto...her constant breaks seem to be no help, as she is poor.

Nigel Harman is meidocore as is the rest of the EE cast.

I've only recently noticed how wooden he is, no facial expression at all.
