i know this may sound a bit sad but does anyone else feel that thekind of characters that live in the east end (eastenders) arnt true to life and the real type of people that live in that area. Coming from not to far away from the east end i know that for example a doctor (may) would never live in an area like the east end. You would never get a doctor living in the same road as a family on the dole such as the millers. They will have a surgery there but they will never live there. Also a soliciter such as stella may not really live in the pokey little flat that they portrayed her to live in. Dont know if anyone else has any other views or dissagrees but just thought id ask to see what other people think x

it's also not real to life that no household has a washer or dryer or both or just a washer

your dang right there sizz

We said the same about the washing machine situation. And when people leave, they always go in a cab - they complain about traffic congestion in England, but most of the folk in Eastenders don't have a car. Also, when they leave, they seem to only have a poxy suitcase as their worldly posessions (if anything) - they may as well have a red spotty hankie on a pole!! It's not very real, is it! And lastly, houses don't go up for sale or anything - someone else just moves in and god knows how most of them afford the mortgage / rent! Ok - moan over.....

yeah thats true about people just moving into houses. Like phill just buys property and businesses and theres no question as to how hes got the money. The house price in london is really high so he muse be a millionair to afford all those businesses. He cant seriousley have that kind of money. And when people leave they never take any furnature wiv them. Or any crockery like kitchen plates. Surely they dont leave it all behind. Anyway i think iv gone on enough i must be boring everyone x x

also there is hardly any cars being fixed in the garage,yet they employ 3 people

You havn't just realized that, have you?

*shakes head and say nope*

Another thing....you never see anybody sitting down of an evening to watch the soaps. Also no matter how skint anyone is they always manage to drink in the Vic every night

No one seems to have a job where they go out to work in the morning and come back in the evening, they all work in either the Market, the pub, the cafe or the garage, all within 2 minutes walk of where they live. The ones who are designated the suits ie, Bradley, Bradleys Dad, the Doctors hubby, are all 'consultants' which is euphamism for an unspecific job where they can be around and about the square during the daytime. I mean does anyone know what they actually do for a living.

aint got a clue what max does,least we have seen bradley @ work in a office,rob must be in sales cos he was at the same meeting as ian was

I suppose that it would all be abit boring with normal characters.
Wouldn't it?

Rob is a banker cos if you remember he was the one who got Dawns credit card

yeah its really wierd that people with supposed 9-5 jobs like bradley and rob all seam to just hang about the square all day on supposed half days etc. Bradleys had more half days than hes done full days! And Max is never at work just walks round the square in a suit claiming hes busy

That's becuase Peggy always give out free drinks becuase she's either apologetic to them or sympahthetic to them. Or maybe she likes giving out drinks cause shes rich or w/e.

I'd agree, a complete banker.

I think, bottom line and jokng apart, the soaps treat us like complete muppets, and Eastenders is the worst culprit. No one has aspirations further than the market square, even the new characters end behind the Ian Beales chippy or Peggy's pub, or another goddam market stall. At least the girls in Corrie have a knickers factory to trot along to, mind if they strayed more than a few streets away, it means they're gonna have a relationship with their boss.

i didn't realise it was summer in albert square,as pat has a tan tonight

I am surprised that you noticed the colour of her skin behind the great big earrings

funny thing is i saw her hair then her tan,i missed her earrings completly

what happened to scarlets too...did that just close down?

ahh molly i had forgotten all about that place

and the vic claims to serve food but there are no kitchens and there is no cook

rebsy they have like a mini oven towards the back of the pub,but no one asks for any food

Pat pat pat pat pat pat put down that graving browning as your tan gets darker each day.
