I don't think they'll ever be able to top the time that Heather admitted that the paperwork was fraudulent and that she was pretending to be somebody else when she turned up to marry Minty, and the registrar just said 'Oh well, since you're here...' and married them anyway!

I like Eastenders a lot and think it's great entertainment. It's given me stuff to laugh at, stuff to sniffle over and stuff to think on, but when Heather's wedding was broadcast I learnt never to expect it to give me realism

As the OP kicked off, the biggest suspension of belief in EE has to be Max, Stacey and Bradley all being back as normal now as if the triangle was just a bad dream in 2007! At times though it would be really nice if in real life people were as forgiving as that.......! The world would be a far better place for it.....!

The fact that the pub has a "Menu" board, yet there is no kitchen or evidence of anyone cooking in there (or eating in there, for that matter...)

The fact that the Vic stereo suddenly goes on the blink at the exact moment an argument kicks off

The fact that some of the most illiterate women in the world are in a book club and manage to read 400-page novels in a week, as well as holding down jobs and their other dramas
Menu board - yes! Stereo - yes! But illiterate women Until you explained and mentioned Shirley and Heather - yes!

DCI Marsden explaining every last detail of the case and what she's planning to do in front of a packed pub full of random people.

*sobs* I didn't want to be reminded of the ridiculousness that was Heather and Minty's wedding *walks off sobbing!*

The fact that everyone who lives on the square works on the square, socialises on the square, eats out on the square, only have friends who live on the square.....

i think phil does realise - that's why he spends no time with him whatsoever and has returned to drink. the man looks constantly in despair at all members of his family.

amira; well... on her wedding day when she saw christian practically fly-kick the beales' gate, all she said was 'you'll ruin those shoes!' .... safe to say i'm not surprised she hasnt noticed.

Theres one thing about Eastenders that i find so unbelievable...

The way that its filled with these 'strong charcters' which just seems like a euphemism for rude ones. And they say some really horrible things to people and everyone just takes it... especially when its characters like Ian or Zainab. Everyone treats them like bloomin royalty

The fact that there's almost no graffiti on the Square.

Rather unrealistic for the East End?

Everybody has bionic bladders and bowels as nobody is ever seen going to the loo or even dares to mention doing so, not even momentarily! (prior watershed??!).

You can have an affair with anybody who floats your boat and be forgiven a year or so later - what is this dreadful shortening slang word for Bradley/Stacey/Max - oh yeah, Stabrax??!! Something like that anyway..... Dear oh, no wonder today's 16-25 generation will still be illiterate by the time they're 30!

It,s true, no one signs on or claims benefits. They just go around the market, pub, cafe etc., begging for a few hours work, as if they,re going to be able to live on that. Even Heather who just had a baby a few months ago, and should still be on maternity leave, is back working in the launderette, when she would be much better off on benefits. I,m not condoning claiming benefits, but surely a woman in her 40,s , who,s just had her first baby, would rather be at home with him, than working in a grotty launderette.

You're condemning it then?

If you don't need to look for a job, perhaps you could have a look round for the apostrophe key...
