Will Oakley If more people are watching Corrie, then obviously more people are enjoying it. Criticising the most watched soap right now, won't change how dreadful Eastenders is. The ratings speak volumes. Some big storylines coming up in Corrie, so it should be another great week.

Tom Willis because corrie is getting higher ratings doesn't mean its any better than eastenders! people are just not botherd about eastenders because it has had some rubbish episodes this year and some of eastenders episodes have been really good this year and they arent getting the recognision they deserve!
