"They're shite enough to be boring. American soaps, on t'other hand, go waaay beyond that, and are actually shite enough to be entertaining."
That sums it up perfectly! The only time I've seen British soaps is when I happen to be in the same room as my parents, and I never figured out how they could watch them without yawning.
As for the Corrie "goths", I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I'll say it anyway. I saw it once when the couple were together, discussing random things and saying, "No, we can't do that -- that's not goth!" I was stifling laughter for a few minutes after that.
