Oh wow, that's almost a fair path for each of the four main soaps - so you think they've all been as good as each other?

I wish I'd followed the gay storyline in Emmerdale from the beginning; by all accounts, its apparently been handled excellently. Its also nice to see a non-stereotypical gay character in a mainstream soap [take note Coronation Street]
