Why Does Nobody In A Soap Opera.........

[Smowball]

...... Have a washing machine??

How can they afford to drink in the pub every night?
Why do they have lunch in the cafe when they live 100 metres away?
Why does every character have every other character in their mobile phone- even ones they don't talk to?

Feel free to add your own... ( and yes I know it's not real! Just a bit of fun lol)

I know. The real-life Emily Bishops of this world wouldn't be seen dead in a pub.

They all have to interact with each other. If they all stayed in their own homes to do all these things, there'd be no story.

Eileen in Cor. St. has a washing machine - it was refered to in the past couple of weeks, as does Gail.

Why does nobody in a soap opera ever sing their lines?

[ummmm]

How can they buy and sell property in a few days.

[Jackdaw33]

How do they get a doctor's appointment the same day?

Why do people in Eastenders travel by taxi when they have the Tube on their doorstep? And why, then they have decided to go on holiday or emigrate do they only tell their friends and family the day before?

[Smowball]

Why does everyone manage to get a job on the 1st day they try?

[CrapAtCryptics]

Why are there no nice people in the Square - remember the original nice couple Andy and Debbie - probably the only people who had a real job - they killed him off.

Apparently if you went into the gents in The Rover's Return, you would have walked into Albert Tatlock's living room. (or whoever lives there now)

....and everyone works, lives and socializes within a 200 metre radius....

[EDDIE51]

Why is there always a free parking space exactly when and where they want it?
Why do they never watch Television?

[shoota]

Why is no one in a soap opera a practising naturist?

[Postdog]

Doctors has to be the worst for not being realistic. The whole programme is based on Doctors dropping everything for the daily plot.

[RATTER15]

Why does anybody watch this rubbish?

[stuey]

Why does everybody in a British soap opera always talk in such a way that I can barely understand them?

[237SJ]

It's not rubbish

[gingejbee]

^^^what is, and isn't, rubbish is in the eye of each viewer.

[Smowball]

Why does everyone seem to have endless bedrooms judging by the amount of people in each house?

[Hopkirk]

They don't need washing machines when they can get a service wash at the launderette.
