Why are the Beales blinds always shut?
With the recent article in mind: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...-soapland.html
It got me to thinking about Soapland decor and the things that bug me with them - the biggest thing being the Beales blinds ALWAYS, not a lot of the time, but ALWAYS being shut! You wouldn't notice it as much but they're a heavy purple net curtain and it makes their house so dark. It can't even be written off as 'keeping a low profile' since Lucy's death and Ian's dirty secret coming out as they have been closed ever seen the set was redecorated! It makes the house feel very much like a set as you see nothing of the outside world whilst inside it. |

So people can't see Ian having a snotty shag on the carpet, he has some dignity at least.

In my line of work I often have to peek through peoples blinds to see if they are in or not. It's all par for the course in running a perfectly legitimate debt collection and waste management consultancy. Anyway, there's this one tricky customer that I've had to chase down for some money in East London over the last few months, and you wouldn't believe some of the things I've caught him doing.
First off was the time I went around just after Easter. I peeked me head through the blinds to check if anyone was in, and lo and behold I see this frumpy woman holding a perfectly good china cup. I'm no ceramics expert but looked like a decent bit of Wedgewood gear to me, would probably get about £15 used. To my alarm the crazy frumpy woman threw it to the ground, smashing it instantly... then dragged my poor client down to have her way with him right there on the broken shards of the china mug. I'm not sure but I suspect they were acting out some sort of coffee shop fetish roleplay in which the waitress drops the coffee and they end up cleaning up together right there on the floor. That's probably it. So I left him to it for a few weeks. I go back there to arrange an alternative permanent payment plan about July, and have a good nose through the windows to make sure I've not caught them mid chinaware-based sex session again. The whole place was crawling with rozzers, so I thought I should probably make an exit pretty sharpish when I overheard this one rozzer sergeant bird laughing and joking away to my tricky customer... "HAHAHAHAHA YEAH COME DOWN THE STATION I'M NOT SAYING WE'VE GOT NEW LEADS OR ANYTHING TO GET TOO EXCITED BUT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GET YOUR HOPES UP." So, I finally try to go back at the end of August, totally past the debt collection stage now, ready to recommend a permanent kneecap relocation strategy. Once more I have a good ganders through the window to stop the slimeball sneaking out and I was absolutely sickened by what I saw. A young girl, not more than 13 or 14, bit of weight on her like, lying there screaming on the ground whilst the slippery client has a phone in one hand and the other up her flaming dress. I've given up all hope of getting money out of the bugger, a truly depraved and and disturbing individual indeed. |

The Beales, the Brannings, Dots, The Vic, The Cafe, The Laundrette, The Masoods. They've all got blinds/net curtains to cover up the fact that they're in a studio. The Minute Mart, the Chip Shop, the Albert and the Car Lot are filmed on the actual Square, so that allows for a bit more freedom with the window situation.

Ians house is right next to bridge street market and therefore he doesnt want nosey people looking in. On the estate I live in, a lot of the houses have their blinds shut at all times. I dont get the issue

I think the issue is that they're dark purple so block out light rather than just diffuse it like a white voile or a net curtain.
