The Butcher and Slater houses are phenomenally similar. Seeming to look like the same house that have just had a makeover.

Same for the Beale and Branning houses.

I was wondering if they reused settings for different rooms or just decided to make them look similar?

every street I have lived on, the houses look the same inside, layout etc just different by the decor. yes keep up with the jones's but dont steal their decor

that being said I live in a new build private devlopment now and most the houses are different sizes so interior layout can be slightly different but in the good old days a row of houses would all be the same size, shape and layout.

or am I missing the point?

Well the Butcher's and Slaters are terraced houses on the same street so naturally are going to look the same. In fact, Dot and Roxy's are in the same complex so also look very similar. The Slaters and Dot's are the opposite of each other (Slaters = entrance hall and stairs left and living room on the right / Dot's = entrance hall and stairs right and living room room on the left) and the Butcher's and Roxy's are the same too.

Can't say I see any similarities between the Brannings and the Beales though. The Branning's is a town house while the Beales is a more traditional build. The interesting thing about the Beale's is how they removed a bedroom downstairs (Lou's old room) to make the living space bigger.

On a slightly related note, why did Patrick go into Lucy's old room when at the time Peter and Bobby's room was empty?

Peter had moved out from Lola's by then, hadn't he?

Had he? Was he simply collecting his stuff from Lola's then? I vaguely remember him saying he had to move back in with Ian to look after him but then he'd pop up at Lola's quite often. Not 100%.

Regardless, was it ever said that Peter and Bobby shared? Is there only 3 rooms upstairs?

Has the DiMarco's house ever been used again since they lived there?

I may be wrong but didn't there used to be two rooms upstairs (Michelle and Lou shared and Pauline and Arthur had the other) and the downstairs bedroom which was Mark's (I think Lou moved down there after Vicki was born) and later on it was Martin's. Then Joe and Pauline converted the loft and Ian knocked the downstairs through, so (currently!) 3 bedrooms.
