HO - Deaths, Births and Marriages
Just looking at wiki and it's weird how the show just doesn't have weddings!
In the last 5 years we've seen Tina/Dom/Mercedes/Russ, Mal/Mercedes, Claire/Max, Carmel/Calvin, Steph/Gilly, Steph/Max, Nancy/Jake, Tony/Cindy, Cindy/Alastair and now Mercedes/Riley. That's only 10 weddings, 3 of which were Mercedes, 5 of which ended with one of them dead and the other 2 were gold digger weddings. Births we've only had Charlie, Leah, Lucas, Max, The Twins and Angel...so 3 of those were teen pregnancies and the rest were results of affairs (saying that there's only been 13 births since the show started) It just goes to show the show HATES normal couples. You can make a couple interesting without breaking them up. Nobody stays together long enough to have kids or get to the alter! 28 Major character deaths since 2006, 17 of which were murder or manslaughter. I really don't see why the writers can't create a couple under 50 who get together, stay together, get married, have kids and still have non-death related drama. |

Can the same not be said for other soaps where happy relationships/marriages are concerned?
It would be nice to just see a happy couple though. Oh yeah...what about Frankie & Jack? they seem like a nice couple who have been together for a few years. |

As I said, a couple under 50. I mean all soaps do it but look at shows like Corrie where couples like Kev and Sally, Ken and Dierdre or Eastenders where Kat and Alfie go through *everything* but don't get divorced after 5 minutes of fighting.
I don't know if I count it but I think Michaela and Zak are the only decent couple. They were together more than 18 months before getting engaged and they had thier break ups over infidelity and the racism thing but got over it and got on with it. Shame they aren't around. But they being away from the village meant they've lasted more than 2 years...together...alive. |

John Paul and Craig still going strong, last we heard.
But they had to leave to get there as well. ![]() There is an unbelievable shortage of happy relationships at the moment.
