Things which are only true in soapland

[rusks]

there is only ever 1 doctor to treat the whole entire neighbourhood and he works in the practice in the hospital and does lots of house calls!! tis is not the real world!!

 

[LaulLaul]

Their houses are all like the Tardis.
Every street has a teenage parent or murderer.
They never have Bad hair days.

 

[jenna]

theres never 2 people with the same name.

People die then come back to life the next year when nothing else interesting is going on.

The police dont investigate things properly so the nutter can upset Ian (Oh when will that storyline end )

 

[roxanne]

Ah i love this thread!

Has anyone noticed at christmas time every year at lease one soap has a storyline about someone ending up with a live turkey that they have a to kill to use for their xmas dinner?! Usually someone like the Dingles in Emmerdale or Les Battersby in Coronation St!

People just jump in a taxi and leave. They don't call their landlord and give them notice or contact the utilities and pay their final bills. They don't put anything into storage or take anything with them.

 

[trixipaws]

In pubs/clubs there is never a queue for the womens toilets...

Noone ever says 'Shut The Fuck Up'

 

[xnicolaxcx]

*for saying its just like a street or square theres been loads of murders, robberys, attacks......who the hell would wanna live there?
*everyone knows each other
*they never seem to leave the street - they work and socialise there
*everyone is pissed after about 2 drinks
*everyone has full blown arguments and only uses harsh words like "idiot" or "moron"
*some teenage girl always has an affair with an older married man
*everyone gives birth in about 5 minuets!

*Eastenders: Tracy has NO life ("Trace can you work 24/7 next week?" *nods and disapears silently*)

*People never discuss Tv or current affair, and no one reads national newspapers, only the local rag.

*There i always a 'new place' in town.

*Gary and Minty are the only people aware of the football leagues.

 

[glitzyglamgirl]

women never seem to have periods!!!!!

you never see them curled up on the sofa with a hot water bottle, or breaking out in spots, or having a mental pmt moment and blaming it on their hormones

 

[Sammystar]

when people make dates to meet up, they NEVER say a time. They go
'shall we meet for a drink later then'
'yeah OK, see you later then'

Why do they never agree on a time??

They also tend to hang up the phone on eachother without saying goodbye.

Also, Doctors in soaps 'pop in' to check on their patients at home all the time.........

yeah right!!

Poor old Trace, you'd think after all this time they'd give her her own storyline!

This thread is hilarous!

You always know when 'extra' people are needed for a story because 2 strangers mysteriously appear drinking in the Vic.

There is absolutely no realistic justice............for example in Hollyoaks Claire trys to kill Max yet some how blackmails him into handing over his club Surely any smart person would tape her numerous nasty speechs and go to the police!

everyone has enough money to set up their own business, rent bars, clubs, shops, carlots etc

when you want a job - you can get one irrelevant of whether you have any qualifications training etc (think Audrey's hairdressers - other than Audrey none of them have done any training - though that could explain a lot )

...munching on a giant bar of Dairy Milk.

What? Me? Never!!

and apparently when your waters break, you instantly go into full contractions puffing and panting, and they instantly become constant pain - so bad you can't even change the dress your wearing which is now supposedly covered in amniotic fluid

no doubt the baby will be born when you're still wearing the same dress
