Worst soap opera?

I don't like, and haven't watched any of them for a long time, but corrie is the only one guaranteed to make me leave the room.
 
I cant stand any of them, though as a kid i used to watch eastenders/corrie/emmerdale as my mum had them on.

Seems to me that they all revolve around a street or two each, yet each have a rapist, a gangster, one or two murderers, a thief etc etc.

My g/f watches hollyoaks so i catch bits when i am making a cuppa and its just complete tripe, woman kidnaps a kid, other dude gets raped by some pupil, another crazy guy kidnaps loads of people and is gonna kill them, after hes alreadyy killed a bunch of people, someone else sets off an explosion at a house killing people, someone else ran over on purpose, people hiding dead bodies in shop freezers etc.

Its like brain rot.

That brings it back, that was allways on when i got back from school. High road followed by the young doctors!

Pretty much all soaps had their time with me in the 80's (smaller world, 4 channels), only one i remember never getting in any way at all was Sons and Daughters.

I think soaps are great. My wife loves them and that means I get to game for 90 minutes in peace and quiet :D

You are lucky to have a very laid back wife that she let's you do that as in my experience they have expected me to sit quietly with them and watch them with them. That was a comprimise to them but they were always adement that I sat down and watched them, they are the ones who are very attractive but are not up to much upstairs ( they're pretty thick) and only watched vacuous empty airheaded crap.

They all suck X 100. Hate them all with a raging passion ESPECIALLY EastEnders... EastEnders is for inbred ***** & retards, chav tards as well. I hate that this rotten filth has infected the way society behaves & thinks. This vile sludge always get's in the way of relationships and as caused world war 3 in my home as I have refused point blank to have that **** on in my home and on my TV as I REALLY put my foot down over that abhorrent shower of ****.

You sound like my Dad and he was horrible to my Mum and a proper nasty man when it came to what he wanted :(
Back in the 60s my Mum used to beg me not to tell my Dad we'd been watching Coronation Street while he was on noons.
I suppose what you watch is better than what everybody else watches?
 
My wife records “Eastenders” and watches it when she feels like it.
Once in a Blue Moon I’ll be in the room, but I don’t watch it, it’s like background noise, doesn’t bother me.
Years ago she’d watch “Brookside”, but not religiously, which was kind of strange, as she’d run screaming into the night if her mother had “Coronation Street” on when we visited, my wife said that the Manchester accents grated on her, but that she viewed Scousers and their speech patterns as her Northern Cockney cousins.
She was even worse if “Emmerdale” came on while she was channel surfing, she said that “Emmerdale” accents made “Coronation Street” characters sound civilised.
I guess that being born and raised in South-East London, she feels at home with Cockney accents, but accents from north of Barnet are ewww! to her.
Strange really, as I, another dyed in the wool Londoner, can get along with any U.K. accent, although I’m not completely sold on the Birmingham and the Black Country ones.
