I know it does trounce EastEnders at times and has never beaten Corrie yet though but ATEOTD (at the end of the day) is Emmerdale still the 3rd soap?
In Australia H&A is the Corrie and EE of Oz so those 3 soaps will be safe for years due to this.

Tbh I feel like Emmerdale for years have been above Eastenders, the show had a bit of a dip after Matthew kings death but since 2010, the show has gone from strength to strength, even if there are flaws with the show.
Eastenders goes through patches of having quality storylines and acting, to just boring you to death. I think in terms of quality Emmerdale, even as far back of 2006, has always captured me more in that regards.
EE is all about living in the past, and brining back characters for short term boost in the ratings.
There last great storyline was the Lucy Beale murder, but now that has been milked beyond belief.
So from all of this I would claim EE is below Emmerdale in so many way, and Emmerdale is the stronger of the two.
But of course it won't always get the recognition it deserves, with even EE stars having digs at the show.
However they are just salty bastards 😂

But of course it won't always get the recognition it deserves, with even EE stars having digs at the show. However they are just salty bastards 😂 As far as i am aware there was only ever one actor in EastEnders who had a dig at Emmerdale and that was Danny Dyer and that was Danny being Danny. Infact out of all the soaps i would say EastEnders keeps its self to its self and does not get involved in the argy bargy. It does not have its stars begging/Prostituting themselves for votes at award ceremonies as much as certain Emmerdale actors. Now if rumours are to believed the real rivalry is between the two itv soaps Corrie and Emmerdale and with Emmerdale winning everything in its path at award Ceremonies. and Emmerdale closing the gap slightly in the ratings itv's golden goose is not looking so golden. I would love to be a fly on the wall. However I do not think itv will let Corrie become the 2nd soap, hence so many clashes with Emmerdale with EastEnders. It damages both soaps with Emmerdale the victor, but lowers their ratings and share and leaves Corrie higher and with no competition. The main reason Emmerdale do not delve into their rich history and bring stars back is they don't need to, (although if Claire King offered to come back again they would snap her hand off.) Another reason is itv want you to forget the word "FARM" (its a dirty word) wipe everything from your memory pre 1994. (Annie who?) The only animals in the show are Dingles. Emmerdale only started to get the recognition it deserved when Gavin Blythe took over as Producer and many things that are in place today is down to that man. A great producer who sadly left this place far too soon. Is Emmerdale the 2nd soap? in the over nights 9/10 yes, in the officials sometimes, when BARB start to add iplayer and the itv Hub i can see EastEnders widening the gap in the officials. 2nd soap? its ping pong, with Corrie out in front and Emmerdale and EastEnders fighting for 2nd spot. If the question was "is Emmerdale the better soap" on current form the answer has to be YES! |

Emmie and Easties probably always will juggle for 2nd soap, and always will play 2nd best to Corrie ATEOTD. I hope to see Emmie one day knock Corrie off its perch.

Very true but I prefer them both these days over CS which has become a complete and utter joke IMO. It would love ED to take over CS just to show the ITV producers what they have done to this once iconic soap. |

Outside Corrie I think Emmerdale, EastEnders and Neighbours are the 3 most colourful and iconic soaps. And Emmie, Easties and Neighbours are the 3 strongest.
