I like them all for different reasons.

Corrie for comedy, Eastenders for drama. Home and Away/Neighbours/Hollyoaks for the cheesy escapism. I'd probably go with Eastenders now, but only because I never watched the other soaps tonight.

The best soap at the moment is Eastenders.

Corrie's full of non-storylines, one-dimensional characters, and hackneyed plots that are both poorly executed and fairly anti-climactic.

This'll change though, it always does.

Its great to see a lot of if not all the soaps coming up. People assume that eastenders, corrie and maybe emmerdale are the only three that would be mentioned.

Currently at the moment my favourite soaps are Hollyoaks coming 1st, Corrie coming 2nd, Eastenders coming 3rd and Emmerdale coming 4th, my opinion will change though as the weeks/months go on.

Neighbours will be good all next week as a much-loved regular will die and revenge will be carried out by one street regular to someone in the street!

I have been told that wednesday's episode will be powerful!

I wouldn't call them "much-loved". Much-loved would emply that they've been there fopr quite a long time.

Soaps at the moment are all quite good

1. Neighbours
=2. Holloaks
=2. EE
4. Coronation Street
5. Home And Away
6. Emmerdale

Why didn't you include The Bill in this anywhere??
I don' t think that people count The Bill as a soap its either that or a drama, I would say soap because it has the same kind of storylines as other SOAPS!!!

Personally I'd rate them in this order although the top 5 shuffle around contantly. I tend not to have been watching Neighbors, Home And Away and River City recently but will watch them if I have nothing to do and come across them. I've been watching Eastenders again since last week but it's still going through a low patch IMO and I can't force myself to watch Corrie no matter how hard I try. Emmerdale is kind of lagging a bit at the moment too but Hollyoaks has gotten a lot better since the new producer. Casualty & Holby City are also really good, I've watched them for years although some of the characters are annoying me at the moment.

1. Hollyoaks
2. Emmerdale
3. Neighbors
4. Casualty
5. Holby City
6. Home And Away
7. Eastenders
8. River City
9. Coronation Street

Because I didn't want to, if i could of I would have included Bad Girls, Footballers Wives, Footballers Wives : Extra Time, River City, Holby City, Doctors, Casualty, Headland, Heartbeat, Where The Heart Is, The Royal, Desperate Housewives and Waterloo Ropad but I class them as dramas.

This site groups River City, Holby City & Casualty as Soaps so I put them down; I'd probably consider Holby and Casualty as Dramas though.
