In soap fashion, I was contacted by a teenage girl who had discovered her dad had been married before and had a daughter about the same age as her mother - with me being the daughter.
I was estranged from my dad for a long time and he'd got remarried to a woman only 5 years older than me and had another child but he'd forgotten to actually mention he'd been married before until my gran was dying and didn't want to take the secret to her grave

My brothers wife was (and still is) a manipulative cow. She used to blame me for things that I didn't do and once accused me of pushing her down the stairs whilst she was pregnant for the second time with twins. I was also in their house (as I stayed over one time) and she came back from the night shift, so my brother was at work and she 'accidentally' left the oven on without telling me and went to bed asleep (come back from the night shift) and set the kitchen on fire. Blamed me for it and hardly anyone believed me.

It's amazing really how lots of soap events do actually happen in real life, just not as frequently.

If I have a secret that I really don't want anyone to know about, I always leave my phone lying about so that someone else can check it out. Similarly, if I write an email that I really don't intend to send, I always leave it open on my computer screen so that someone else can send it.

You really are the sharpest tack in the box, I don't know where this forum would be without your injection of humour


BIB That bloody Grad has a lot to answer for, wait til I get my hands on him

If I had a real life soap moment and left here would I get a Julia's theme or just the regular duff duff?

Aw, Aaron to the rescue

Absolutely. And if I was going to have an affair, I'd make sure it was with my next door neighbour and we'd have our clandestine meetings on the park bench opposite my house of in the cafe owned by one of my relatives - no one will ever catch us out

I fathered MyLauren's child.

Thanks.

Doubtful, you were just diagnosed with cancerous AIDS.

Ha Ha Ha 😂😂😂 love this!

We have some very nasty family members who we now no longer have anything to do with. The reason we fell out was because they turned up to a family event with the sole intent of causing trouble. They started a massive fight, chairs thrown, glasses thrown, punches everywhere and in the end the police turned up and they got Arrested.

It will all be alright as long as you don't set fire to the forum.

Ta matey, nice to have a fun thread to post in.

I think all the soaps have covered my life up till now and I'm dreading what they have lined up for me next ,I should have just offered my life in book form and said get shares in Kleenex tissues.....

There's an annoying, loud, nosy bag at our local shop who's the spit of Anna. Most of us swerve her whenever possible.

A couple I'm related to (who are in their 60s) have just separated after 40 years of marriage because the wife has discovered her husband has been having an affair for 7 years with her best friend. This exact storyline has just took place on Corrie with the Nazir family - the same time all of this came out. I couldn't believe the similarities and the timing of it as well.

One family Christmas we had a row

It was awful.

Just one??

I'll try not to!

As long as I pay my rent and don't become in danger of being evicted or I might just have to turn arsonist for insurance purposes!

Just as long as you put the Kat out in case of fire then she won't become a burnt pussy!

I shagged all the hottest women in the square I live in. I also survived a heart attack, a car crash, being shot several times and addictions to crack cocaine and alcohol. Oh yeah, and I AM THE COMMUNITY!

Do you always burst through doors instead of opening them?

Especially if I'm carrying a baseball bat.

Are you short, yellow and in the habit of beating up young muscular giants who have to move very slowly and carefully so they don't knock you over (like Connor)?

On a more serious note several current storylines (or similar) from EE strike a real chord with me.

But that's life - you are born into this world and a fleeting instant later you die.

Some people are incredibly lucky enough to have a bit of happiness in between - and some are not.

But nobody ever said life was fair.

Tell me about it, now I'm not looking for sympathy but I've had nothing but heartache and misery.
