For me it's simple.
Corrie all the way. It was the original, it's the longest (TV) running example, it mixes a bit of pathos with a lot of comedy and deep down it is a show with warmth and heart.
So then compare and contrast that with 'Stenders.
Eastenders is a mean-spirited, dreadfully-acted, suicide-inducing miseryfest. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It is just utter grimness heaped upon total and abject misery, and how anyone can be bothered to depress themselves three or four times a week by watching its awfully depressing agenda defies belief.
Oh, and why do all the male characters talk in a gruff throaty whisper, all sounding like Oliver Reid's Bill Sykes in Oliver.
Now I know that a lot of us don't care for either, but posting along these lines is pretty pointless and those of us who do like a soap will take it as read.
So perhaps divert your energies to the multitude of other threads offering countless opportunities.
*Cue the (best and only worthwhile bit of any episode of Eastenders)
The last scene tom-toms*
