The BBC tends to have more viewers than Channel 4.

I just am surprised sometimes at all the awards (which some fans even said they weren't sure were warranted this year) and attention they get. It seems more like a medical show than a soap, to me.

Apparently, the show has a reputation for telling stories first that the other soaps won't touch.

From what I saw of Vivan's rape last year, I thought they deserved the recognition they got for that story. I can't comment on anything in the last year though.

It's a soap, since it also deals with the personal lives of the characters, not just medical matters. The hospital is just the main setting.

But I've hardly seen Doctors written about in the press.

As Carl posted via a video in the Hollyoaks thread, Paul Marquess' first date credited as Series Producer of Hollyoaks will be on July 5th.

So, so far:

- Bryan Kirkwood will be credited as Executive Producer of EastEnders on June 4th

- Paul Marquess will be credited as Series Producer of Hollyoaks on July 5th

All that's left is Phil Collinson's first air date as Series Producer of Coronation Street.

No new Interview on DS. That`s crap.

Marquess is Hollyoaks only hope of surviving.

Kirkwood will be a powerhouse for EE

Collinson says that he is a fan of Corrie so hopefully he will be right for the show

Blyth is doing fine as he is on Emmerdale

Doctors i guess is good seeing as ratings are going up year by year

US Soaps mainly suck (DAYS may be good and some others)

AUS Soaps : Neighbours may still suck and H&A i dunno about.

& Foreign Soaps i have no idea about.

Most of next week is supposed to be heavily filler on EastEnders and focus on teen storylines, so watch at your own risk. LOL! The show is clearly in transition too, but Kirkwood's first episode on the 4th sees the introduction of two new characters, so I guess that would be a good starting point too.

And Kirkwood has already fired two of the actors in the teen set that's dominating most of next week.

Kirkwood is sharing the EP credit with Diederick Santer for his first two weeks, a product of the handover period they shared in late Februry earlier this year.

The show will get better once you make it to May. In fact, I suggest skipping to the wedding week or the aftermath of the wedding week. It's still not great, but a lot better than it was.

Here's the video with the Marquess interview that Carl posted in the main Hollyoaks thread:

EastEnders airs 4 times a week - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. There is no episode on Wednesday's unless it's to make up for an episode not airing on one of the regular days (unless one of the regular episodes is an hour-long episode that week).

Coronation Street can vary in scheduling sometimes, but it typically airs 5 days a week from Monday to Friday.

Of course, during the next few weeks due to Britain's Got Talent and the World Cup, the scheduling for these shows will be moved around a bit...

    • For years I did NOT go by Laura's opinion of Luke. Today I certainly do not go by Laura's opinion that Sonny somehow is good for Port Charles. Actually when it comes to being a judge of people's characters, and the issue is Laura, I just remember Esme.
    • Good point. It would provide some conflict with Jack. As much as I am not interested in Claire, I don't find it difficult to understand why she might be a bit reluctant  to commit to a guy who has already been divorced twice or is  3 times?before he is 30. That's a natural obstacle that Claire would be hesitant about. But in GC every relationship is true love and various past marriages are forgotten.
    • He had no chance of getting on The Sopranos

      I’m in NYC, and I can’t help but wonder if NYC prosecutors, politicians, etc. ever felt the way that Laura did, back in the 80s-90s when they were taking down the mob.  “Oooh, don’t put John Gotti in prison. The guy who comes in after him might be worse” 
    • Happy 18th Birthday, Sophia! I like that Tate gave her a birthday party. And that Marlena counseled him about whether or not he has feelings for Sophia, and his relationship with Holly. I like how messy Tate is and I hope he continues to be messy. He just needs to have more argument/fight scenes with Doug III

      Days just needs to work a little bit more on establishing better chemistry between Tate and Sophia, but I still think that’s mostly due to Rachel Boyd. Sometimes, I think that Sophia might secretly be scheming, but with the way RB plays it, (if that’s what they’re going for), it doesn’t seem to be working. Tate was also really sweet and dorky during the party too The drug scenes didn’t do much for me though. I don’t mind that Kevin panicked and ran off with the drug once he heard Steve and Shawn coming, but I felt like that story was the weakest part of today. But I am interested in seeing what happens next. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed that Steve and Shawn had matching jackets Btw, I see Mayor Price established a quid pro quo with Xander today lol I wouldn’t mind that being more than just a plot point. It could lead to some pretty good drama if it’s handled correctly. And it would be a lot better than Xander declaring war on Sweet Bits/Chanel and Felicity.  And Stephanie, finally having her mother to confide in about her life, her relationship with Alex, etc. has been one of the best things about the Paula/Jeanne episodes. The book thing still seems very Ron/Jamey-like though, mostly because it’s so centered around Alex, sort of like how GH used to make storylines about Liz all about Finn or Franco Hopefully, Stephanie talks to Kayla about the book. I’d like to hear more of her perspective on it. I also like that Kayla and Marlena were there for each other as well. These are such better ways to use all three of them. And, we got an update about John One other thing I’ve noticed about the Paula/Jeanne episodes (except for the ones that are worked on by Jamey) is that they’re longer than Ron episodes. Episodes usually clock in at around 40-41 minutes now, as opposed to 35-37, or as short as 31. I like that. 
    • Also Victor being the obstacle for Kyle/Claire feels forced. If anything it should be Diane. Diane has a history of having issues with the Newmans, doesn’t she? Jack could be the one trying to reel her in while she’s meddling in Kyle and Claire’s relationship. They’re making the characters of Diane, Victoria, Nick, Sharon be way too complacent when they could have a stronger role in the younger characters like Mariah/Tessa, Kyle/Claire etc
