Why Eastenders Is My Favourite Soap

With all this hype suddenly surrounding soaps, particularly EE, i thought i would tell you why i think Eastenders is my favourite soap on the telle.

The main reason is the child actors. Watching actors grow up on the show makes it really realistic for example Janine, Ian and Bianca. The current kids.. minus Ben.. are going be fantastic. Lucy is going to be the new bitch and Tiffany is going to turn into such a character. The diversity of the cast is another reason.

So what makes your favourite soap, your favourite soap..?!

I love Eastenders most, i cant think of one bad actor/actress on it tbf.
From the live episode, they put in so much effort to get it right and it paid off.
They create cliffhangers, and so much suspense and excitement with all the epic storylines!
also, the kids in it are amazing! and they add the humour!

Corrie, because it deals with serious storylines but has that good dose of humour in there as well. I love Eastenders but it's always so depressing, I prefer Corrie for it's mix of both.

Plus I'm an adopted Mancunian so yeah

I like Corrie because of the comedy/drama elements, and because of how long of a history it has

Corrie, i find the fact that it can mix humour but still be dramatic great. Plus it has raised awareness some serious health issues in the past

Well they do do more of those sort of things to be fair. Corrie has always been more light hearted while EE has always been more gritty. They're just different.

Eastenders for the fantastic storylines and the brilliant characters, there is so much depth to them and they always make the viewer feel involved with what is going on.
