Corrie Copying Eastenders?

[twinkle_eyes83]

I'm sure most will now know about the 'Killer Katy' eps on Corrie this week. the storyline to it is slightly similiar to the storyline circulating around the 20th Anniversary ep for EastEnders.

Katy has an abortion - Zoe had an abortion
Katy goes mad at her dad for everything he has done & lied to her about - Zoe & Chrissie killed Den because he went mad but also FOR THINGS HE HAD DONE TO THEM.

It might not be completely identical, but these storylines have similiar ideas. Does anyone think that Corrie and EastEnders are becoming similiar storyline-wise?

it dont think so these things happane everyday katie is very different to zoe and she has a big reason to do what she did theres a limit to what u can put on tv most of the soaps do the same storylines

[~Sooz~]

no, like its said above, these things happen in every day life and if you compare every storyline in every soap past, present and future, you are going to find a lot of similarities.

no corrie is better than eastenders. if anything eastenders copies corrie for example a few years ago sarah got pregant then a few months later sonia got pregnant.

[asforgrant]

at the moment there has been an abortion,murder etc etc what can corrie do if they did not use these storylines then it would be very dull because all soaps do it this is stuff that happans in real life so its not a compition

They all seem to copy each other eventually

No one ever accuses Emmerdale of copying other soaps. Must be why it is the best soap at present.

And don't forget that Corrie copied the success of the Who Shot Phil? storyline with Who Raped Toyah?
How predictable...

[Treacle]
