emmerdale is getting a good old kicking on other sites at the mo. i may be a loan voice in the emmerdale wilderness, but im actaully enjoying it. its easy to watch, its less hammy and certainly better acted than coronation stret and i dont feel like ive been through the ringer like when ive watched eastenders.
out of the big 3 eastenders is certainly on form with out a doubt, but i dont think this will last for long.
for some reason im being drawn to emmerdale again. it may be that in both eastenders and coronation street you have superb actors and then there is a gulf and you have the not so good and then the truly awful. i dont need to name and shame we all know who they are!
emmerdale dosent have stand out performances, but what it does have is an excellent ensemble. imo that is far more important for the health and growth of a show.
coronation street will always be top of the ratings as it has the most loyal of fans and most easily pleased and for that reason alone it will out live both emmerdale and eastenders.
there is joke doing the rounds about dire hard coronation street fans, that if the end of the world was coming they would say, 'well can it wait until 8 'oclock when corrie has finished, because i'm not moving.'
