[InOne]

I've not been watching HO who proposed?

[Me. I Am Salman]

sonny to carmel :laugh: and Leela helped choose the ring

[Jordan.]

someone dies everyweek - hollyoaks

[Marsh.]

Everyone lives, works, socialises, moves, dates, shags, gives birth within the same street, square, village.

[Firewire]

a gay man having an affair with a woman and then having an affair with a gay man #corrie

[InOne]

sonny to carmel :laugh: and Leela helped choose the ring

Glad I'm not watching then. Sonny just gets worse and worse.

[InOne]

You can turn up to a square in East London, find some distant family member, walk into a job, strike up a romance and spend your afternoons and evenings in the local boozer without a care in the world.

[Firewire]

no one having a washing machine!!!

[Drew.]

You can sit at work all day and do sweet **** all except eat & talk.

Someone dies every Christmas

Everyone drinks in the pub almost every night.

People solely keep to their own area when having affairs.

[Firewire]

people going to the pub on their lunch break and having an orange juice

[Marsh.]

Someone can have serious money troubles but still eat in the cafe, drink in the pub as normal when they only live next door and can go home for food/drink.

A mixed race girl and a white man having a baby who is almost as dark as Jason's dad - tyrone and kirsty #corrie

To be fair, gene traits do skip generations, lol.

[InOne]

A taxi driver can make most of his fares on one square

[MTVN]

The exact right person will be in the exact right place at the exact right time to overhear the exact right conversation when necessary for the storyling

Like Rob tonight happening to be at the window and overhear Tina and Peter's conversation

[Marsh.]

People who want a private conversation of a big dark secret that no one can ever discover take two steps away from everyone else and speak normally.

No one hears the conversation. :laugh:

[Marsh.]

Also, having just watching Corrie tonight, it's absolutely hilarious how many times an episode Liz sends Tina home. :laugh:

Everytime I watch she's either taking her break, given the night off for not doing her job properly or finding someone to cover her shifts. Does the girl ever do her job?

[Samm]

[Samm]

everybody in the town has had an affair

[Scarlett.]

Also, having just watching Corrie tonight, it's absolutely hilarious how many times an episode Liz sends Tina home. :laugh:

Everytime I watch she's either taking her break, given the night off for not doing her job properly or finding someone to cover her shifts. Does the girl ever do her job?

Not to mention in her time, she's thrown pints over customers and assulted pregnant women, yet she's still "mah best bahmaid"

[MTVN]

Ha yeah Tina is a joke of a barmaid, always someone she flies off the handle with every shift

It's why it was so great when Steve had a massive go at her and had to pretend it was because of what a lazy barmaid she was

[MTVN]

Before Liz you had Stella bringing any upset punter through the back every episode as well even if she barely knew them at all

[armand.kay]

Someones baby dies so they swap it with someone else's - EE

[reece(:]

Someone has a big secret they're hiding on their laptop, when someone else comes in the secret holder shuts the laptop without locking thus making it easy for the other person to discover what they're hiding.

[BigSister]

Nobody goes to the toliet
lonv lost relatives turn up
eveyone has affairs with everyone
ages sudenly go up or down for no reason
at funerals and weddings theres usually a person who doesnt turn up who shoukd be there
F an actor or actress is on leave they have gone to visit sick family r

[Gstar]

having an affair with your cousin and the rest of the family know/don't care/ forget about it. - EE (lauren and joey)

[Marsh.]

Nobody goes to the toliet

:laugh: We only see them for 30 minutes an episode.

But, yeah, people only pop to the loo when they leave their bag behind for someone to have a nosy.

[Smithy]

People being murdered every 6 months on the same street (Eastenders)

[Natalie.]

everyone has affairs
can afford to go to the pub every day/night

[Jords]

Somebody gets murdered and a whole street/square can be thought of as a suspect.

[Ammi]

..everyone works within their own street/square and with their neighbours and family...

[Ammi]

..most weddings seem to have drama/reveal...

[Ammi]

..hardly anyone seems to take a shower/bath..

[InOne]

Nobody seems to answer their phone

[Marsh.]

I think they answer the phone too quickly. Whenever they make a phone call they never wait for the phone to connect or for them to pick up, they always instantly say "hello" as soon as they put it to their ear.

Preach

[Gstar]

truth spotted. I retract my post

[InOne]

I think they answer the phone too quickly. Whenever they make a phone call they never wait for the phone to connect or for them to pick up, they always instantly say "hello" as soon as they put it to their ear.

Also when the phone rings it's sometimes the tone of a completely different make. That used to happen a lot in soaps in the 2000's. Especially EE

[Ammi]

..also on the phone, they say...yes, oh really, OMG or whatever too quickly without time for the caller to have said anything...
