I do. I really do. Every time I hear those whiny accents going on and on about some crisis or another I just long for someone to blow up Albert Square. Is anyone happy there for more than 5 mins?

Sorry.

Unreasonable whinge due to DH being addicted to the damn thing and I can hear it even when I'm not in the room.....

WinkyWinkola · 20/03/2009 22:56

Full of miserable, vile people being horrible to each other and living in squalor. No thanks.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/03/2009 09:14

i love ee

makes my life seems so good

it amazes me that EVERYONE works in the square and then pisses it up at lunchtime in the pub, and then goes back to work sozzled!!

TsarChasm · 21/03/2009 09:17

We haven't watched it for years and years. It got so depressing and even back then they'd exhaused the whole gamut of human misery to the power of 10.

I can't think there's any more misery left to write about

Watch Corrie. At least it has funny moments.

EyeballsintheSky · 21/03/2009 09:18

I hate it as well, but I can't stop watching the bugger

Docbunches · 21/03/2009 09:39

Yep, me too. Haven't watched for probably more than 15 years.

All my DC's friends watch it, but so far mine haven't shown any interest, thank goodness.

Mine love Waterloo Road - it's much more enjoyable, they even sometimes discuss it with their teachers at school the next day (my DD's tutor admitted crying when Maxine died!).

Good.

Glad I'm not alone.

But nope, sorry not switching to another soap. I am happy to be a soap-free zone.

Mind you will admit a slight liking for Holby City

I hate it....but have watched it since it started (1986, I think?)

It beats Corrie (all those unfunny 'comedy' storylines) and that God awful farming one.

Holby rocks, btw. So much eye candy.

Dr Michael Spence

donnie · 21/03/2009 17:24

yes it is trash. Some of the actors are truly dreadful - that Chelsea Fox ? I get splinters just watching her. And the long lost daughter Danielle? ditto, ouch. You can see their eyes moving across the autocue.

Thehoof42 · 16/03/2017 20:03

Happen to come across this programme whilst channel browsing watched it years back but depressed me so much I stopped,it appears to me to have taken on a whole new depressive bad ham acting characters that I thought could not be usurped,awful 3rd rate acting from everyone I saw god knows where the scriptwriters grew up definitely not the east of London I Prey people from all over the country don't really think we all act like that complete pile of horse shit

NotYoda · 17/03/2017 18:10

I loved it so much when it started (I was about 11 I think).

Stopped watching it regularly about 10 years ago. It's just depressing.

I now hate the relentless unkindness and the ridiculous lack of reality - people buying all their stuff from a market stall, no hipsters, little ethinic diversity etc.

NotYoda · 17/03/2017 18:11

.. sorry it was 1985. so I was 15/16

The80sweregreat · 17/03/2017 19:07

Dont join our gang on the EE thread! Lol. We moan about it, but stick with it through thick n thin.. I think that some of us wonder why !
I am loyal, but it can be annoying..

Reow · 17/03/2017 19:12

Me too. My mum has watched it religiously forever. She gets upset about storylines as if it's real.

Hate hate hate.

MusicToMyEars800 · 17/03/2017 19:15

I hate it too, I haven't watched it in years!

The80sweregreat · 17/03/2017 19:17

It is an acquired taste! :)

Izzabellasasperella · 18/03/2017 09:07

I used to watch it when Grant, Phil and Sharon were in a love triangle! Gave up years ago. I don't watch any soaps now although I do find myself sucked into Hollyoaks sometimes, it's so awful you can't help watching in disbeliefSmile

The80sweregreat · 18/03/2017 12:37

I dont watch any other soaps, although i hear that Emmerdale has some hot guys in it- i did catch a bit of Corrie the other day - had some annoying girl in it called Rosie, her voice was enough for me to turn it over quickly. I gather that Ken and Gail and some of the oldies i did watch in the 70s and 80s are still around- i dont know any of the newer crowd so its pointless me even trying to get back into that soap after decades away. Hollyoaks has been on a while too. They all must have an audience in order to carry on being made. Brookside was axed and a few people were upset about that.

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2017 19:22

I watch Emmerdale, Corrie and Hollyoaks but not religiously I tend to turn off if it's boring... I hate that they Rosie is back in corrie she is the most annoying character but mary is comical in it

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 18/03/2017 19:24

I also hate Eastenders.

NotYoda · 19/03/2017 07:59

ZOMBIE THREAD (2009!) [BLUSH]

spiderslight · 19/03/2017 11:39

You'd think we hate it on the EE threads, all the critique, and names for the characters (Mick is Mock, for example), but it's the only soap I watch and my guilty pleasure, even DH doesn't know I watch. It has hidden depths (they're well hidden Grin)

I haven't seen Emmerdale since the Emmerdale Farm days and that wasn't out of choice. Coronation Street is like pantomime, I can't watch it, apparently its early inspiration came from Shelagh Delaney's work, I can't see that now!

OliviaStabler · 19/03/2017 11:41

I used to watch it when it first started, it wasn't bad then. Now it is rubbish.
