Probably because they are both on at different times so how can they beat each other.:confused: When they are shown head to head Emmerdale has the higher viewers so therefore it beats Eastenders FACT QEDQuote:

Disagree as the awards are fast becoming a joke. They cater for yet again a "younger" audience as most of the nominations are of "Younger" Actors/Actresses or ones who don't add anything much to a programme. This is further proved by the people who actually get these awards and as far as I'm concerned the awards should be scrapped, I don't agree with them anyway.Quote:

You all know by now which I prefer and my views on the two soaps, so I'm not going to repeat it all again. What I will say is I watch the omnibus of Eastenders from time to time these days and did so last week, I found the soap quite enjoyable. Mainly because I am particulary interested in the "Big" Exit Storyline they are running at the moment which was up against Emmerdale's two normal episodes on Tuesday. Out of the two Emmerdale has achieved the most over the years as it was once the underdog but is now a serious threat to it's rivals.
There have only been one or two mentions of Emmerdale's victories in their many head2heads in the papers, so that contradicts what you said somewhat. :)Quote:

that won't happen Alan.. this was Emmerdale looks good as you said, it is beaten EE at that time regardless of the suitation and EE are constantly shovelling excuses to why they are been beaten.Quote:

I agree, this is a big factor in this but I reckon if both did do a real head2head with both starting at 7.30 EE would win hands down.Quote:

And reviews of Emmerdale have been dreadful. No one seems to like the Sinclaire family and the Kings are well past their sell by date. There's not one character who you could like in the dales.
The same could be said about Eastenders i.e Sean Slater who went well past his sell by date after the 3rd episode. :) As for the Sincalir family and Kings not being liked this is not true for every viewer i.e me I love both families.:) And there are a number of characters who are well liked in the Dales by other viewers and I'd say that most of the characters are liked in the Dales.:)Quote:

I agree with Babe 14 and the vast majority of posters on here that Emmerdale has been superb and that the Sinclairs are a great addition to the show. Of course thats only my opinion and Im sorry you disagree with itQuote:
