Have you noticed that in soaps no one has the same name? i know its to stop people getting confused but is it really reality that in an area there would be no double names??

I've never realised/thought about that before but you're right, I cant think of any. I agree, as you say, that in real life there would probably by double names, but is it realistic to think they could do that in soaps?? I dont think it is, not just for when doing/reading the scripts, but for the fans discussing the soap, it would just be too confusing. Good point though

i dont know anyone in my town with the same name as me

Yes, I agree. They could do it though, as long as they both had different last names.

I've pointed this out before, the only time I've known this was in Brookside when there were two Jackie's at the same time. the only time a name is used again is when someone leaves for good then a new character joins later with the same name.

We have discissed this before, it is very odd, but on Corrie for years we had Bet lynch and Betty.

I have never thought of that before to be honest

If you mix with people down your street on a regular basis that could be confusing.I guess you could get round it by calling them young Stacey,tall Stacey etc etc etc.........
