Being as there is one for Corrie , how about one for EE
How can the Licence of the pub change hands twice in a couple of week , The licence has to be granted by a Magistrate , it also has to be advertised just in case there are objections

You,re probably correct about that! Someone tried to start an EE Suspension of Reality thread once before, but it was never carried on, however, as most people on this forum think EE is wonderful. :rolleyes:
I love ee and i am an ee myself spent the first 20 years of my life in E10 and eastenders is NOTHING like the real thing if it was there would be more drugs stories, ALOT more ethnic families ,and most people including anyone upto the age of about 40 would speak just like fatboy! the most realistic families in ee are Bianca and children, the Masoods (who are great) and my now no 1 realistic eastender fatboy the only true (almost) portrayal of an eastend teenager in the whole program!
apologies in advance for any sp mistakes
Trying to work out where all the babies are is especially fun. I don't know why the writers keep making everyone up the duff, because they don't know what to do with these babies when they're born! George, as someone said above. And I never quite know where Amy is either.
Others: Why is Libby home from Oxford again? Why is DI Marsden sitting in a car all day, everyday? Is that how murder investigations work nowdays, two officers sitting in a car?
I agree nobody under the age of 40 speaks with a cockney accent anymore. They all speak Jamockney like fatboy.
And isn't Amy almost 15 months old? Yet when we last saw her she was still a small baby. And in the family photo was wearing a baby gro. If a 15 month old was left upstairs in the Vic by themselves, as she is, they would have fallen down the stairs by now. But I guess baby-proofing your flat isn't as important as painting the Vic fuschia
I love Eastenders though, even with all it's flaws (no one ever working outside of the Square and people rarely actually going to work).
Realistic!!:D Apart from the fact no one does their own washing, and no one is allowed to work outside the Square, everyone is either skint or has a never ending supply of money. And what about a dead body lying under a pile of earth in the middle of the Square, and no ones noticed. Wouldn,t the cats or dogs be sniffing and scraping around it?
Yes,it really is a true snapshot of the East End
You forgot everyone has a 7 bedroom house to house all of the long lost relatives that turn up each week
Na-a-a-mean!
we're not hung up on it we just like to discuss it, I am a BIG fan of ee its the only soap I watch (stopped watchin neighbour when it went to 5) but it is funny, EE is back to its best I think and if it was trying to hard to be realistic it would probably be pretty boring, people queing at the job centre instead of the chippie and most people just dossing around doin pretty much nothing
Isn't Patrick Georges Godfather?
But the thing is they never used to be so far fetched, but were still hugely popular and entertaining, and IMO more entertaining. They were realistic. EE was gritty, Corrie was a bit tamer but had a humour and charm. Emmerdale was very tame until the plane crash.
Yep I agree. I didn't watch eastenders in the 80s as I was born in 88, but i prefer the realistic storylines. Stories such as Lucas burying owen under a tree is a bit of fun, but it's not eastenders as it used to be.
I think eastenders is great right now, because it's focusing on real issues such as Ronnie and Roxy's mum, plus Janine and Pat, and also the gay muslim affair. This is what watch eastenders for.
I don't mind about the washing machines, as it was always a focal point for gossiping. Take it away, and you might as well take away Big Ben from London:D
This isn't true.
The Mitchells, Patrick, Max and Tanya have their own washing machines.
Both Max and Bradley had jobs outside the square, and Masala Masood is elsewhere too.
