In this era of social networking why would Sharon need to have Tracey filling her in on what's happened since she left the Square? Surely as they are friends they'd have phone numbers at least?

Is there any need for the hysteria?

HO and HA also mention it

That would be good
and the first person to be silased would be kat
then even though his victims are usually women, he cant stand jack slutty behaviour so he gets silas

The British soaps need to catch up with the Aussie soaps. Corrie / EE / ED / HO on the whole ignore social networking, whereas H&A and to a better extent, Neighbours have really embraced it, using it really well in their stories. You see characters' Facebook pages and mentions impacting on storylines on a regular basis - but it's not shoehorned into storylines, it's just there.
