Soaps and one parent families
Just when I was thinking about Corrie last night. After Tyrone split with Kirsty he is yet another one parent family then I was thinking how a lot of the soaps have one parent families more than happy family units. I wonder if this in intentional or whether writers think it will make for better, more dramatic viewing?
Corrie:
Tyrone with Rubbeh
Fiz with Hope
Katy with Joseph
Maria with Liam
Anna with Gary/Faye
Tracy with Amy
Eileen with Jason/Todd
Stella with Eva/Leanne
Leanne with Simon
Beth with Craig

Don't forget Dev with the twins. In fact there isn't a single couple on screen who are married parents.
Jimmy and Nicola King (parents of Angelica) in Emmerdale. The Bartons were also married with kids, before his death, as were the Wyldes (although bigamously). Can't think of any recent others in the soaps I watch anyway.
Ah, forgot about Dev, thank you. I thought that too but then wondered if I imagined it.
And I suppose Kevin with Jack?
Butchers,
I think Carol is the only parent of the whole lot, Including Bianca the fully grown child!
Belle, with Zak and Lisa.
Noah, (adopted by Jai) with Jai and Charity
Angelica with Jimmy and Nicola King
Molly with Nikhil and Gennie
And are Laurel and Ashley still technically married?
Laurel and Ashley are still married legally there has been no mention of a divorce.
Hopefully Maurel can be brushed under the carpet
I'm struggling to even think when one was last introduced - The Windass' family in Corrie? And the Masoods in EE?
Anna's house can't be that big that she babysits them all, surely?
I meant there are no married couple with kids who are together in EE
But yes, I agree about Carol and Bianca:D
I remember Norris going on a rant one day about the amount of NO parent families!
I don't watch Emmerdale but its good to see a lot of couples in a family unit. Maybe Corrie writers believe this is more true to life in Manchester though?
I would love to know the reasoning behind it.
Kat and tommy
Roxy and Amy
Ava and Dexter
Carol and Bianca
Bianca and Tiff whitney Liam and Morgan
Sharron and Denny
The only married couple in EE is Max and Kirsty
It's no different. A family's income is assessed in exactly the same way, whether the parents are married or not.
Myra n the brood with different dads
Diane and her step kids
Jack and Darren
Poor Tom with no parents
Dirk n the savages
T and kathleen angel
Orphaned by his mum and dad, orphaned again by his brother, again by his brother's wife...
I'd think twice about adopting Tom! :eek:
I suppose it just depends i barely know anyone who's parents are divorced. All my close friends surviving parents are still together, my parents are, all my aunts and uncles are. I'm struggling to think of a single person i know who has divorced. Statistically 42% of marriages end in divorce so its still less than half. Soaps dont really reflect this though as it would seem almost 100% of their marriages fail.
