ED's Thursday night Halloween party
So Halloween is on a Saturday this year. Would have been a decent excuse to have it on the day or on the Friday night, right?
Nope. Thursday it is. A big party and a piss-up on a school night for an event that actually takes place on Saturday. I know it's soapland and not to be taken too seriously but from a realism point of view who on earth throws a party on a Thursday? |

ED isn't on tomorrow. Would you rather we didn't get a Halloween themed episode? I thought it was a great episode. One of the best in weeks.

These days Halloween parties don't just take place on Halloween, they take place any time in the last 2 weeks in October - at least they do in my area. It's the same with fireworks - Bonfire Night used to be just that - one night. Now fireworks go off at all times of the year in my area.

It's Friday/Saturday in the soap because you know it isn't on tomorrow.

It's also half term, so it wasn't a school night.

I really enjoyed it - thought the make-up people did really well.

Where on earth did all the costumes come from - they were actually quite excellent overall! Pretty impressive for a little village party
My poor hubby had no idea who anyone was and could only work it out when they spoke - cracked me up

What gets me with parties especially on Emmerdale and Corrie is when the characters dance to non existent or barely audible music! They look ridiculous. Yes I get we need to be able to hear characters talk but come on, the dancing just looks really silly.

The most unbelievable thing about that party is that Carly puts the notice up about it in the café on the same day and EVERYONE turns up in amazing costumes and make-up.
It made me laugh when Debbie said to Ross " Is that it?!" when she saw his plastic mask. That's how most people would have turned up having had about 4 hours notice! |

I am surprised Debbie and Ross have a nerve to show up at any party.

Surprised? Really?
Is the word 'shame' in the vocabulary of either of those characters? |

EDIT Surely someone would have chucked the punch down the loo after Belle threw up in it? In reality it would have been removed straight away and someone would notice David getting some? |

ED have been doing fancy dress parties for years, usually in the Woolie, where everyone turns up in the most brilliant costumes, obviously hired for the event, and never ever in an improvised costume.

If you think about it, soaps will quite often be transmiTting on a different day to the fictional action. If they didn't, we would never see anything at the weekend and whilst it is rare, it does happen sometimes that it is mentioned it is a Saturday or Sunday - usually when it is a date like haloween, Bonfire Night or a characters birthday.
Also, you often have multiple episodes taking place on the same day due to the intensity of the action like The recent helicopter crash where the episodes transmitted on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all ran on from each other on the same day. So which of the 3 days in the 'real' world was Debbie and Pete's wedding on? Same with shows like Casualty and Holby city which sometimes run straight on or they state that the previous episode was the previous day when in fact a week has passed in the real world. So, it's a moot point. There are days we don't see, but they don't always have to be the same ones. What i mean is, we don't always see Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday on EE whilst missing Sat, Sunday and Wednesday every week. Re the costumes - yes it is unbelievable on such short notice but they are actually meant to be pretty close to Leeds which has a huge shopping centre so they would be able to pick up decent costumes there. |
