As you all probably know Emmerdale is set to overtake Eastenders in the soap charts. So i just wondered which you think is better!

Eastenders Emmerdale is crap
Surely this should be in general soap, because then the Emmerdale viewers who dont look at Eastenders stand a chance of actually seeing and voting in this poll.
If everyone was being honest Emmerdale would win by miles but as EE fanatics are blinded at the MO then its obvious how the voting will go on here
exactly alan45 emmerdale would win by miles but there are those ee people who dont like to admit it

eastenders is so much better....i'm loving it!
I voted neither :eek: although it was by accident.
Emmerdale set to overtake EastEnders is a load of poo poo anyways. If it comes from a bigwig at Granada, it's probably wrong.
They all want hung and I'd love to be the one pulling the ropes :D
Eastenders is so much better even with storylines like Molfie. Emmerdale is just boring in my opinion.
I voted ee but I really like emmerdale. I miss Chas though and I just think she's a cool character and I am looking forwrd to her coming back. Its just right now the scott/Zoe storyline isn't really really interesting neither is Kelly windsor

Emmerdale at the moment but i always change lol

Eastenders it's no contest.
It's unfair to compare them. Emmerdale is a soap whereas EastEnders at best is the BBC's flagship Drama.
but at the minute WQ, its easy to compare them because EE is being so poor so is hardly a flagship drama :D
I always chop and change my mind anyway. I actually prefer the australien soaps at the minute, and am finding that corrie and EE are both getting too big for their boots. Emmerdale is OK, but i agree its a shadow of itself since the Cain/Charity thing ended. That is one of my all time favourite soap moments
i dont know i change my mind regularly. Its EE at this present moment in time.
What is it about EE that everyone seems to be liking? I can see hardly any entertainment in it what-so-ever
Don't watch Emmerdale, its only ever been and will be Eastenders!!

Rock on EE!!
Again i ask, what is it about EE that everyone finds so entertaining?
I voted neither :eek: although it was by accident.
Yeh they all say that!!!!
Do you really need to ask?>??
I mnean ok i'll admit it i watch Emmerdale now and again *puts on safety hat and avoids throwing objects* but of course i voted EastEnders it is and always will be the best!

Eastender is SO much better then Emerdale. Well it is in my book
I cannot be on with these people who aren't prepared to be optimistic about the show, no point in watching atall with no optimism, it's as if people WANT the show to end well it's not going to happen. Unlike ailing channel ITV1 the BBC doesn't need to chase ratings as much.
Well it obviously thinks it needs the best ratings, or it wouldn't have been so bothered that they have had their worst ratings in Eastenders ever recently

Well as you know, there is one of these in the Emmerdale forum as well, but no one complained there that it was in the wrong forum, as maybe eastenders fans don't look at that.
But saying this, Eastenders is winning in the Emmerdale forum too, so that's saying something!

I know there's one in each of the two forums but it would have been better to just use the one lol.

lol alan45 this is just a vote, don't take it too seriously! I think everyone is being honest and giving their true opinion, why would they lie? And no one is being blinded, people just like Eastenders better, and I agree. I think you're just annoyed because emmerdale are losing lol :)

The proof is in the pudding 'Emmerdale' can't even get their ratings above ten million consistently!
Can YOU give a reason???
Exactly!
yes
Emmerdale has handled a mixture of Serious stories, such as Debbies pregancy, as well as comical ones. They have also reflected life in a more realistic way, proving that people can be happy as well as have on going problems in life. Eastenders has had promising stories, however i dont think that they have been done as good as they could have done. They have very few couples which have been consistantly happy, and thrive more on Crime. A few years back they were great, and the recent episodes have been a shadow of these, as i'm sure you must agree. However, Emmerdale has ben stedily improving. As i have already said, i dont have a frim favourite, and take every story as it comes, however at the minute i feel that Emmerdale is doing well.
Now for YOUR reason :D
yes

Now for YOUR reason :DIMHO Emmerdale is just the same as it's ever been plodding along etc. I can't see anything spectacular that's happened that wouldn't have happened in another year in the Dales etc they're recruited wooden Patsy Kensit etc as the new Kim Tate though and they've roped in this new King family that are taking over the whole show but apart from that things are relatively normal in Emmerdale. Their consistent ratings (neither going up or down) prove that it just cannot build up a high audience in the same league that EastEnders and Coronation Street can. You wouldn't see Emmerdale get even 10 million consistently for more than 2 consecutive episodes so it's a cause for celebration when they do hit double figures!
EastEnders appear to be fighting back with some top storylines in the pipeline as well as the return of some of the past legends and the introduction of some exciting new blood into the Square. The only problem at the moment (and thus proved by all the complaining people do about it) is the Mo, Alfie and Kat storyline. One storyline does not ruin the whole show though it all depends on how much screentime it gets and also whether there is enough to balance it all out. I'm extremely proud of EastEnders because it really is going in the right direction and this summer for the flagship BBC1 soap opera drama looks set to be the hottest in any soap.
It is heading in the right direction, and i'm pleased about that because the actors and producers have put in a lot of hard work. However untill it actually happens and shows results, i dont think the chickens should be counted.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal opinions. If you enjoy the stories then thats all that matters, it just so happens that i haven't been enjoying Eastenders as much as i have in recent years, and think that Emmerdale is actually pretty good. If you enjoy Eastenders at the minute, then good on you, you are obviously vry optimistic and find the good in episodes, even when its very hard :D

At the end of the day yes it does boil down to personal opinions and I can respect that some people feel that Emmerdale is getting better but for me it's just so lazy and monotonous. It's better than Corrie though so if I wasn't such a big fan of EastEnders then I probably would be looking towards Emmerdale as my 2nd option. I can't stand that awful King family though who have taken over the whole show and are now acting like some kind of mafia! They're making it unbearable for me especially as I don't find any of them attractive even that slimeball Matthew.
I hate the one with the big nose, adn the one thats a vet. I really enjoyed the Debbie and Andy story, i thought that was great

She wasn't raped was she? They both consented
She wasn't raped was she? They both consented
He's over the age of 18 whilst she is still a minor whether consent was given or not is irrelevant it's statuory rape.
She wasnt raped, but Debbie was underage.
Well I suppose she was a bit too old for it to be statuory rape jude but in a way it's still illegal and nobody cared! Even Cain didn't seem to react that much to the news that Debbie had given birth to Andy's baby.
Without a doubt it was illegal, but ints not the Dingles way to involve the police. But your right Cain didnt react but then he did father Debbie when him and Charity were the same age. I think he did thump Andy??
Yeah he did thump him, Cain would never go to the poice though, not even with it being Andy

All the way :cheer:

We all expected Cain to react much more violently and perhaps even kill Andy :eek: It was just too tame for Cain and I don't care that we were supposed to believe Debbie having the baby tamed his attitude towards Andy he would still have charged off without listening to her and beat Andy to a pulp!

I thought it was nice when Debbie had the baby and Cain didn't do the expected thing by beating Andy to a pulp. Although it was quite clear he wanted to. :p

The normal Cain would have done but they gave him a personality transplant because Kelvin Fletcher wasn't leaving Emmerdale so they had no reason to have Andy killed off :rolleyes:

She wasn't raped was she? They both consented
You're right - it wasn't rape as they both consented - but it is illegal for someone to sleep with a person who is underage.
Cain wouldn't want to kill him at hte time anyway, because he loves Debbie, and she would have disowned him if he did, as she thought she was in love with andy at the time. Even if Cain shows no love for her most of the time, i think he does really, but doesn't want her to always get in the way of his macho persona
Cain wouldn't call the police in either, because he wouldn't want them digging up stuff about him and his own past. Its completly against the Dingles charcter to shop anyone, even if its under those circumstances.

I agree with everything you've said there walford queen! i'm taking up so much space with the quote!
I think emmerdale are also DEFINITELY not realistic, not lately anyway. I think they are definitely goin the same way corrie and eastenders have done, so you cannot say that eastenders are not realistic, because really, neither are emmerdale.

When Cain is violent he doesn't think or listen to anybody.
In this case, i think he did

I prefer Eastenders but thats just because I don't think I've ever watched a whole episode of Emmerdale in my life, its never really interested me!!
