How Many Slaters Can You Fit In One House?!

[DarceyK123]

I know this is a common thing in Soaps but the Slater household is pushing the the limit now.

There's - Stacey, Martin, Lily, Hope, Arthur.
Jean, Kat, Tiffany, Whitney, Big Mo, Hayley & her baby.

Now Ruby has moved in! Really?! There's already 12 of them including a new born baby would you really want to give up your 'own flat' to live there?

I hate to tell you but it's JUST A STORY !!! The more characters they put in the more possible story lines.

It doesn't look like Hayley is going back to the Slaters so Ruby will probably get the settee.

Wait for Christmas and the discussion of the disaster.

I think we should all be very grateful that Eddie takes the time and trouble to find threads about TV programmes to tell us they aren't real.

There must be one heck of a queue for the bathroom!

As I, and others, have said many times, you can't even vaguely analyse soap operas from a realistic perspective because they instantly dissolve like ice on a hot day.

This is just one more example.

Far more pertinent for example, is how did such a large collection of deeply unpleasant people end up living in the same miniscule area, and why does no-one sell their eight-figure house - which is what large Victorian terraces in London within walking distance of a Tube and a main-line station fetch these days- and move out to the suburbs?

Like I say, it's a waste of time, best just watch and enjoy it.

I like the idea of a houseful of East End women making decisions for themselves. More power to them.

I know Soaps have no degree of realism these days, but 13 people in one house is pushing it a bit.

If Hayley does stay there (and of course she will) then Social Services with surely say they are overcrowded.
