Eastenders - Suspension of Reality (Merged)
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

Why is Heather back working in the launderette? George is only about 3 or 4 months old, surely she would still be on maternity leave, and who looks after him, Shirley struts around the Square with no baby with her, either
Also, she would be better off on benefits, but that,s EE , no one ever claims beneifits, they all have to work in rubbish jobs for a pittance.

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.
apologies in advance for any sp mistakes

I love EE precisely because it involves a suspension of reality. It's entertaining.
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? |

On the Libby front... just for the record Oxford have 8 week terms so she'd barely be away and I am currently at uni and have 6 hours a week across 3 days. thats my entire timetable!

Why does a woman of Dot,s age( mid 70,s) still go out to work? Surely with a disabled husband and a small child to look after, she would have enough on her plate, and she,s always babysitting for other people, as well. Yet, she still finds time to paint her fingernails bright red.

![]() 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). |

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?

I agree nobody under the age of 40 speaks with a cockney accent anymore. They all speak Jamockney like fatboy.

Why's everyone so hung up with soaps reflected reality. Each of the main soaps are so far fetched it's untrue, but it shouldn't detract from the soap. My main gripes are the quality, not of the stories, but how they are written.

Ian's loan to Phill did not have to repaid as Beale is not a registered Money lender and there was no contract

The babies just appear randomly and there always seems to be someone willing to take care of them. Why was George with Patrick last week?

what about billy mitchell? he,s been in the programme for years. he,s always looking for a job and can,t get one. he,s always looking for a home and can,t get one, but you get new characters starting every other month, who find work and a place to stay almost immediately.

I think EE should go back to doing what it does best storielines based on real life not who murdered who or whos having whos baby, not exactly real life as soap arent real life they are a reflection of real life.

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.
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
