View Full Version : hollyoaks or neighbours?
didnt quite know where to put this because if i put it in the neighbours section i would be more biased towards them but if i put this in the hollyoaks section i would be more biased to them, so this is stil part of the soap section anyway :
hollyoaks or neighbours which do you prefer as these two soaps aren't really the most popular ones so was wondering which one people think is the better soap? personally i think hollyoaks is better as i had never watched either of them at the start of this year then i decided to watch both i soon got bored of neighbours and switched off but hollyoaks has kept me hooked since!
For me its hollyoaks purely for consistancy and drama. With neighbours you have to wait ages for a good drama to unfold and the storylines drag on forever.

Definatly Hollyoaks, i got bored of Neighbours so i stopped watching it completely! Hollyoaks has had the best storylines so far this year and it deals with the more realistic issues.

Neighbours is my favourite out of the two. I always watch neighbours, but only watch Hollyoaks once in a while. I think maybe cause I've watched Neighbours for so much longer. I admit, sometimes it gets boring, but there are great characters to keep you entertained in the boring patches :D

Definately Hollyoaks. I got bored of Neighbours about 2/3 years ago, and I couldn't even tell you who is in it now. Hollyoaks is on my series link!

Neighbours, Neighbours and more Neighbours. I never miss an episode where as i stop watvching Hollyoaks over a year ago, when it got really boring, i've tried to watch it a few times since but never really got into it.
Neighbours is the best, almost better than EastEnders theses days!

I like them both but i never watch wither of them constantly. I kind of drift i can go for about a month watching them consantly and then suddenly i'll just go off them. I think Hollyoaks is probably better. A little more exciting. But they are both quite boring also. I have watched Neighbours since i was a little kid and ive grown up with it even if i havnt always watched it. So id say Neighbours because of loyalties. But i do love Hollyoaks's drama like Ali getting run over, Tom going missing, Ben and Izzy thing, Becc and Justin so id sday that... but then neighbours has that too but perhaps less oftern like Toadie and Dee, Sindy, The plane crash, Paul , Steph and the whole cancer and the baby thing... I dunno cant decide they are both good in different ways.

Hollyoaks definetly. I can't get into Neighbours, I have tried but i find it boring. I like how Hollyoaks does all these gritty realistic issues.

Hollyoaks, it has the perfect blend of comedy & drama. Weird I said that about Hollyoaks considering it's supposed to be Neighbours slogan isn't it?! :rotfl: Or atleast it used to be anyway..
I haven't watched it properly since Madge died (which was a long time ago I know!) and tuned in a few months ago to watch an episode and it was like a different show! :eek:
So many new characters lol :)

I used to watch Neighbours back when it started (well at least when it arrived on BBC1 in October 1986). I haven't watched it for yonks though, only catching it occasionally. I went off it years ago when they dumbed the show down and made the show full of kids, and it's worse than ever now. It's such an awful and corny show now imo, I don't miss it one bit. At least with EE there's the chance one day it will improve, with Neighbours that's impossible.

I stopped watching Neighbours after Dee's death, i used to be addicted to it up to then but now i never watch it, i think it's got far too stupid but i have started watching Hollyoaks now and i really like it so i am going to go with Hollyoaks. :)

I've always loved neighbours...it's sunny and that's enough to warm me up :P kidding...I prefer the characters and the fact that they have a diverse mix of characters. When I watch Hollyoaks there are only a few characters that really stand out, the rest seem to sort of merge. I do like the mix of story lines too and I love the general light heartedness of neighbours.

My vote would go to Hollyoaks. I've watched both shows from the beginning. I still watch Neighbours when I can,I'm not that pushed if I miss it. I never miss Hollyoaks. I think its better than all the other soaps around, they have all gotten a bit boring recently. The Claire storyline has me hooked.
I have to vote for Hollyoaks, mainly as Im never in or have enough time to watch neighbours.

i watch them both but hollyoaks is definately the best, if i miss an episode of neighbours i dont really mind or care to be honest, if i miss an episode of hollyoaks i watch it on the omnibus or repeat or thru teleport
