Yes, I agree ff. Eastenders is beating it all ends up at the moment. What with the Lucy Beale whodunnit, the Dean rape, the Shabnam reveal, the Nick Cotton story, Phil and Max there is so much of interest going on. Corrie has had very little since the Peter Barlow/Rob story. Only the David/Callum/Max story really stands any comparison.
No Corrie's definitely not at its best at the moment and hasn't been for a while. I favoured it over EE for a long time but they've now swapped places in my opinion. There are so many unlikeable characters in Corrie nowadays, which used to be my main gripe with EE but is now no longer true.
Still, as I said a few posts ago, there are still storylines I'm enjoying. Steve's depression is good (though Michelle is spoiling it) and so is anything to do with the Platts.
Viewing figures are declining slowly and from what I've heard Corrie bosses are starting to worry.
I think the difference is that Corrie has a lot of pot boilers whereas EE has all the page turners.
I think some plots have gone off the boil as well.Quote:

I think i best tune into EE
Emmerdale and even Hollyoaks are beating Corrie for me
Is Liz still making jokes at Steve's illness?
.
very boring again tonight even roy couldn't help it
I found Sinead's speech to Roy about Hayley moving. Surprisingly, it seems to have done the trick too.
I'm relieved that there's no unrealistic quick fix for Steve now he's on meds and has the saintly Michelle's support. At least she's more understanding than Liz though. Putting pressure on someone with mental health problems will only make matters worse...
I was shocked when Gail calmly took Michael's will. I thought she was totally accepting of the possibility of his death for a moment - then she ripped it up!
I wonder if it's true that Callum owns his own business and is no longer a dealer? I bet it is because his legitimate financial security will make his custody claim all the stronger (and more dramatic for us viewers).
I know Faye's only twelve or so but it seems bizarre she doesn't realise what's happening to her in this day and age (and that her friends who've seen her changing don't either). I accept this still probably happens sometimes though. Maybe she's just in deep denial.
