Soapisms!!!!

[Joy11]

We've had a right good laugh at the observations people have noted in EEnders so I have decided to throw it open to all of the soaps you watch and wonder ....why?
Corrie..How come Ken and Deidre's house is a single fronted one yet Blanche says she's in the front room?
and why is the machines never going hell for lether in the knicker factory???

[Joy11]

good one Therema, thought I had a good memory but you are all putting me to shame

[Therema]

LOL it really bothered me this one i was gonna fone them

[craft1948]

he's probably still locked in someone's front room....

[Therema]

Thats the front room Blanche is in ? pmsl

[Joy11]

I think Ken's a randy owld git, how many women has he had????
and who was the Tunisian bloke Deidre married...was it Rashid or something like that....no-no-no, that was his surname, she became Mrs Rashid when she was in prison and fondly known as the Weathfield 1 even by the PM, she stood trial as Deudre Rashid, when the veins in her neck came out to play...."I didddddddddnt dooooo itttttttt!

[gina32]

samir rashid was his name, and devs girlfriend tara lives with dev in the new block of flats, i really need to get a life!!

[Joy11]

that's right gina, not about getting a life lol but about Samir, he came to a sticky end as well didn't he?

[gina32]

wasnt he stabbed or something, didnt he give a kidney to tracey??

[Joy11]

and look where thats got her!!!!

How is it that everyone in Corrie and EastEnders either own a business/shop/cafe/factorygarage/pub/club or work in one of these establishments. No one seems to actually work anywhere else than on the street where they live.

[Joy11]

that's a dream job totter, roll outa bed into work, seconds and you're home for dinner, then to the pub with everyone you know.....ummm not sure now!

[Joy11]

great one liner from Blanche tonight, Deidre"Peters turned a corner"
Blanche: Let;s hope theres not a pub on it!

[curiosity]

I love the way everyone (and I mean everyone) when they are given a hot cup of tea on Corrie, grab it and hold it forever, caressing it with both hands round the cup, never use the handles, must have asbestos hands, or have auditioned for an Hot Chocolate ad before! Just you watch, and you can usually catch a glimpse of the empty cup.

[Totterdown]

I've noticed that with cups of tea. It's usually about an inch at the most that is poured. Never a full cup.

Rita was step mum to Terry Bates - also fostered a girl (Jenny Bradley?) at one point, but despite all the marriages/relationships she never did have any children of her own.

[Joy11]

What about Graham in the butchers shop, I think he's great, loved when he said he has a "thing" for burnt out places!!!!

[Joy11]

EE, Janine sped away at breakneck speed from Rickeeeee, 10 mins later she hit "Bambi" and killed her, given the size of Albert Square she's must have drove round at least 20 times and thought "Oh, there she is, I might mow her down"and I can't take Archie serious with a name like LARRY LAMB being his real name, conjurs up childhood stories, I'm sure there was a Larry the Lamb years ago????

[Whickerman]

what about this - scene: the pub (any of the soap pubs will do)
One side of the pub: I need to find some one to work for me immediatley
Door opens, actor enters muttering : I have to find a job...

every single time.

Also - how many years was Tracey in Corrie in her room playing tapes?
How many people can fit in the Slater house in Eastenders? Or Pat's?
When are Felix and Blossom coming back from their cruise?
How come every family has a brother/sister / son/ daughter that has never been mentioned for years until new characters are needed?

[Joy11]

very little unemployment around for them whickerman, apart from Kirky in the street! you would think with Emilys connections she would get the poor bloke a porters job at Weatherfield general!!!
