This may sound confusing but i'm just wondering who you think are the faces of each soap. For example, which character would a magazine put to represent Eastenders,Corrie,Emmerdale and Hollyoaks etc.
It may seem like a pointless topic and it's not always the most likeable of characters. Just interested which characters you believe are.

Here are mine:

Eastenders: Stacey, Dot, Phil
Corrie: Steve, David, Rita
Emmerdale: King Brothers, Dianne
Hollyoaks: Max, Tony

When I think of the 4 British Soaps, these are the characters that first come into my head.

Eastenders: Peggy, Phil, Stacey.

Hollyoaks: The McQueens

Emmerdale: The Dingles

Corrie: Liz McDonald, David, Gail, Steve.

So i would say for me, those are the faces of each British soap.

Yes, but present time is more interesting

You should make people choose one single character, rather than entire families!

Like for Emmerdale, I choose the Kings, the Sugdens, the Blackstock/Lamberts, the Thomas's, the Hyde/Sinclairs, The Hopes, The Dingles, Betty, Louise, Edna and Tootsie as my main faces of the soap.

Stacey seems to get a lot of magazine covers for EastEnders.

I favour the tableu approach, several characters in he one show.

Eastenders: Stacey, Bradley, Dot and Jim (with a little Peggy and Phil maybe thrown in)

Corrie: Steve, Michelle (for a little contemporary glamour), Ken and Deirdre.

Emmerdale: Zac and Lisa, Eric, Jack and Diane, Katie

Ive not really watched corrie but I know she has now left but to me tracy was the face of corrie.

Eastenders it would have to be peggy/pauline (even tho shes now gone)/phil and i suppose stacys has been in it loads recently.

Well with Emmerdale it was Seth for a long time I think, and maybe Kathy.

Now though? Eric, Diane, Jack to name a few...it's a difficult question though, and I think at the end of the day - to quote what Frazer Hines (Joe Sugden) says on the 21 Year E/Dale video - "the show is the star".
