    I personally prefer Fair City to anything else but I do enjoy Eastenders and Neighbours.

    I think Fair City make it more realistic to what life is like here and I enjoy the storylines and Louie ;):D

    I went for the American soap operas myself. I know they are always ott but I find them way more enjoyable tbh and the men are way hotter (Sorry Louie fans).

    I went for Ireland as I only watch 3 soaps nowadays and two of them are Fair City and Ros na Rún...

    I went for UK not because they have many favourites of mine but because they have so many soaps with really talented actors. Doctors is one that rarely gets a mention but has lots of great storylines and the acting is great in it. Australia would be up there too.
    I think Ireland does well too but with such a lack of soaps it's hard to compete.
    America just goes over the top for me...Yes soaps like Young & the Restless or Bold & the Beautiful can be addictive but their storylines are sometimes ridiculous beyond belief.

    I voted for Ireland. I do watch Corrie but following their storyline with John pushing a dead body in a wheelie bin wrapped in a carpet - it was neither funny or realistic.

    Why are Oz and NZ together?
