It is a massive global event after all.
I think some scenes should be written in to the soaps where characters pass some comment on it or something. We could even have Ken in Corrie watching the news from his hospital bed. It seems silly that soaps live in their own little bubble where global political affairs don't affect them. |

No, sorry!! It's hard enough to accept in real life, without spoiling our entertainment with it as well!!

It's an important political event but EE, the soap most likely to insert topical scenes, won't really be able to have any characters express a viewpoint on it so it would be a bit "What's the point?" He's such a divisive figure that anybody who comments on it would have a strong opinion but they wouldn't be able to show that so it would be a bit unrealistic.

Why, these soaps hardly take place in our reality do they?

The normalisation and acceptance of hate rhetoric in one of the most powerful countries in the world isn't going to have the slightest effect outside of America? Oh, okay...

Why not? 'Lee, son, I know things look grim at the moment. Your bird wants a home you can't afford because your new jobs pony, and you can't tell her, your Tom and Dick of your life and you don't like yourself, but you could be living in America.'

Yep, with him and Putin as two of the most powerful people in the world, I am genuinely frightened about what we're building up to.

No. We are talking about British soaps here, not American.
Let them mention it in their own. |
