I wish Mowlam had just gone to prison rather than be killed off, so he could return at a later date and terrorise Matt and Dolly. While Emmerdale Farm was not as peaceful as the media said it was, it was still quite sedate comapred to Corrie and Crossroads. In Corrie we had Lynn Johnson's murder in 1975, the warehouse fire, and the train crash, house collapse etc, and Stan Ogden could be violent in the 1960s, plus various other events such as the lorry crash in 1979 and Deirdre's assault under the viaduct. In Emmerdale such things happened offscreen.

Corrie, Brookside, Crossroads and the Aussie soap Home And Away always had a big event happening and were quite fast paced. Emmerdale and Neighbours were quite slow in comparison.
