Endless Soaps

[Ann]

I love Coronation Street and Emmerdale and hate to miss an episode but this is getting past a joke - trying to catch up on all the episodes - far too many in one week! Its not so bad during the Winter but in the Summer with lots of work to do in the evenings I don't have time to sit for sometimes two double episodes of each per evening. I record some when I'm out or watering the garden but then have to catch up which is a race against time! ..... its getting very silly having so many episodes, does anyone else find this? I have been watching both soaps for many many years .......

Before tonight Corrie hasn't been on since Sunday unless I've missed one.
It's easy to miss some - I missed 45 minutes on Sunday

There have not been more episodes of either PER WEEK than usual....it's just that the current football extravaganza has meant shifting them around, missing regular spots and having to double up to remain on schedule.

Its still too many ginge - do the programme schedulers think we have nothing else to do? I remember when Corrie was only on twice per week! Much better!

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I agree that the quality has suffered

Record and watch when you want. We rarely watch live.

I have Corrie and Emmerdale on "series record." Then you don't have to worry about missing the start, etc.
I love my soaps and Hate, football.

Yes I always record all episodes but find I am so far behind I have a job to catch up. I'm 5 weeks behind in Casualty!

[Smowball]

I used to record them but don't now yet get really annoyed if I've missed one as I don't know what's happened lol

There are not too many Ann, the schedules have just been shifted around because of the damn football!
