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.....!

Menu board - yes! Stereo - yes! But illiterate women Until you explained and mentioned Shirley and Heather - yes!





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

all that drama cos jack branning got that tiny cut at tiff's party. alpha male???

haha that was dreadful...

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.....

And no one has a washing machine

and only ever at Fargos

Or at the Arjee Bhajee

Amira not realising that her husband is gay

Phil not realising that his son is gay

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.

The prices in the cafe!

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

This is the second Eastenders Suspension of Reality Thread started in the last week or so. The last one disappeared without trace, lets keep this one going

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

Rather unrealistic for the East End?

Masood working during a post strike

Awesome thread!!

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??!).

no-one has to sign on, no-one is unemployed for more than a day or so

also no two people have the same name

everyone was born at Xmas or new year

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!

How such a small child can be so unbelievably evil.

How did they change the licensee of the Vic twice in 2 weeks , it takes quite a while to arrange one leave alone 2

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...
