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???

[squarebear]

Presumably, you wouldn't be able to hear the actors speak if the machines were making too much noise.

[Joy11]

good point square, I'm sure in this day and age, even background noise would make it look like they were actually working

[Joy11]

Is Andy Sugden a sheep farmer only???
Why isn't there any cats and dogs in the street in Corrie?
Has the credit crunch slipped by unoticed in all of them?
How does Devs shop survive with only one customer at a time coming in....and he's paying young Molly as well, like the Kabin....3 of them work in there!

[hammersgirl]

The thing that gets me is how any Tom,Dick or Harry can take over a restaurant/Takeaway/Fast Food place... at the drop of a hat. No Food Safety Certificate or experience cooking.... They go from eating there or waiting tables to cooking and running the place.
From the beginning in Eastenders, why would anyone pay cafe money for breakfast and sit down with a tea/coffee when they only live over the road?

[craft1948]

it's the launderette I find funniest - I used to live in an area of terraced houses and the last launderette in the area closed about 20 years ago....

[gina32]

blanche lives in the living room downstairs at the front, one room behind another, and they all use the back room for everything else. how does ashley survive running his butchers shop, why dont we see cars on the street until someone decides to drive somewhere, why has the pub so many barstaff when pubs are closing everywhere

[gina32]

how did deirdre go from running in the street in her dressing gown when the fire at the bookies started to arriving at the hospital with a coat and jumper on??

[gina32]

why hasnt andy sugden got a dog to control his sheep, why are his overall always clean??

[funnygirl]

Gina, they're not gonna show every single shot.

So we have to imagine Deidre went back home and put on her coat!!! Duh.

[Joy11]

like they say gina" she was ready for a fire"...lol

[warpig3]

The Barlows!!! Does anyone remember when Ken, Deidre, Blanch, Peter, Adam, Tracey and Amy were living in the house, now figure that one out??????? In a two-up two-down.

[gina32]

but she told the ambulance crew she was going with them, they arent going to wait. and see every shot of what?

[craft1948]

I thought sugen had cattle - I've never seen him shearing anything.....

[chelle7272]

And where do all the babies and young children disappear to!! You never see them unless getting someone to mind them is part of the story!

And in a living room /diner /kitvhen (like Gails in Corrie) - how is it they think that you can't hear a conversation on the other side of the room - theres' only an open archway there not a wall!

[craft1948]

er warpig some terraced houses do have 3 bedrooms - you don't think Jason shares a bedroom with the knicker factory guy do you....

[Sooty0404]

There are some pets. Ken & Deidre have a dog called Eccles, Chesney has a dog called Schmeical and Maria has a dog called Ozzy. Simon Barlow has just got a rabbit called Leanne.

[Joy11]

I wish I could * you all for your obs, they are soooo funny, remember when Tracy was always being told to go and wash her hands, well she did and came back as someone else!
Why wasn't there a trace of a Africaan accent from young Ben when he came to EE?

[gina32]

sean from the factory has the front room like blanche has, andy used to have sheep, but you dont see him with anything these days

[gina32]

and michelles daughter, cant remember her name, she had a thick american accent when she arrived then it went, wonder why i bother watching lol

[Joy11]

Very rarely seen though sooty, Ken just uses little Eccles for his rendevous with Stephanie Beecham, and even then the dog fell in the canal, came out dry and groomed!!!!
