Eastenders - The Merry-Go-Round Continues ...

[andy-hughes]

I am not a fan of soaps, and don't watch them.

That said, when I did watch, I became aware that a standard plot device for all of them, was everyone having a turn working in the central points - the shop / cafe / restaurant / garage / pub / launderette, and so on.

If you watched long enough, everyone would have a go everywhere.

I brought the present Mrs Hughes a cuppa last night, as she was watching EastEnders, and I observe, in the ten seconds I was in hearing of the TV - that Phil Mitchell and Kat Slater are now married.

I thought it was just the jobs everyone had a go on, now it appears it's the rest of the cast as well!

What a load of miserable so and so' some of you are. For lots of people the tv is their only means of connecting with the outside world. Housebound and people on their own. Many of them enjoy the  various Soaps .

Soaps are like books but unlike the book they never end. The viewer is drawn into them and just like a book they move on to the next chapter. Each episode of the soap usually ends with a 'cliffhanger' and we are enticed into the next episode. 

There is a saying ----'each to his own'. 

So go back to your  sports , detective series, gardening  and those endless food programmes on tv amongst lots of others but leave the Soaps for those who enjoy them.

Do they still have a road sweeper, if so, do they take it in turns in that job too?

Do people still book coach trips to visit the film sets? 😊

How did Brookside manage? No pub, café, launderette. Just a postbox where they might happen to bump into someone also posting a letter at the same time. Maybe that's why it's no longer going.

Why ask if you have no interest
