Eastenders, Coronation St etc. I used to watch Eastenders years ago but I don't know why. I'd never watch it or any other soaps again. What a waste of time.

 

Do you watch them? If not, why not?

RE: Do you watch Soaps?

I don't watch any soaps.

I occasionally listen when my wife is enjoying The Archers omnibus edition every Sunday morning but I don't follow it.

I watch Eastenders and Coronation Street (when I'm awake), not makes me sound pretty sad!  Smile  I even started watching Emmerdale!  I used to watch Neighbours and Home and Away but stopped watching them years ago.  I watch Two and a half men when it is on.

The same story-line over and over, lots of arguing, the dead resurrected, people that go away then come back for no reason..

No i don't watch soaps, I've got the WHF forums rolling on the floor laughing

Coronation Street is about it, mostly well written, and with some good humour as well.

Used to watch Emmerdale quite regularly too, mainly for Roxanne Pallette, Amy Nuttall and Sammy Winward (I know, I know <img src=" />) 

I can not believe anyone would watch Eastenders, badly written, depressing nonsense.

RE: Do you watch Soaps?

I go through phases of watching Eastenders. Haven't watched it for about six months now but feel confident I can pick up the storyline if ever I decide to watch again.

in the past i have been a regular watcher of Emmerdale Farm, Neighbours and  Crossroad - no idea why!

If I am not watching soaps I am watching either the football, tennis or the Crime and Investigation channel.  Smile

I have neither the time nor the inclination. I record everything on the tivo and catch up when i can, so even if i did soaps i would never be able to keep up
