But it's okay if it was the other way round. Not that I agree with the OP (who is obviously taking the piss anyway), but just saying...
What if it was the other way around? What are you saying? What do you think the reaction would be?

Attractive people often mix with unattractive people. That's life. Some people can see past a pretty face.

Not me though, I'm a bigot.

The OP thinks Eva is ugly, far from it, she's stunning!!!

What a horrible thread.

Why do they do this? I have been watching soaps since the 90s and it happens all the time.

Sometimes, there can be couples where one is extremely good looking and the other is ugly, but it's it's an extreme rarity.

The worst example is when Jamie Mitchell was going out with Sonia on Eastenders. Never in a million years would he go out with her.

Now, we have Aiden Connor going out with Eva on Corrie. No way would he ever go out with her. I can't say what she looks like as liberals will get offended, but we all know.
If he never left the street, he would definitely go for Alya or her muslim friend (before she got married), then if neither of them were interested, he'd go for Maria. Nobody else.

What makes it worse is they make out people like Eva on Corrie and Roxie on Eastenders are beautiful... Is this to please women who aren't good looking or what?!
Eva is absolutley stunning???

It's life you see it everyday, I know I do, even still it's all about perception and what you perceive to be beauty and ugly. Personally though I wouldn't describe Eva as ugly, each to their own though.

IMO lookswise, Eva and Aiden are equals. Both generally attractive. Aiden just is a sleazy, lying, manipulative cheater, whereas Eva is pretty much a kid, decent character.

Eva's perhaps slightly false & 'Barbie' looking for my personal taste but I certainly wouldn't describe her as ugly!!
Character wise however I aren't so sure about her!! She may be basically kind but she's also pushy, petulant, needy, clingy as a limpet & an absolute nightmare at times!!
It really doesn't surprise me she can't hang onto a man for long!!

I think both Eva and Roxy are pretty, I'm envious of Roxy's light blue eyes.

I agree, if I was a guy then I wouldn't be interested in her even though she is pretty. I don't like the personality transplant for her though, she used to be a lot more self aware. I can't imagine Kylie would be friends with this version of Eva, it's no wonder things are a bit awkward between her and Toyah right now because Toyah can't relate to her. Although, Eva is very kind and sensitive on the other hand, like how she cares so much about Maria.

I wonder how it will work when
Spoiler
returns and we'll have two ditzy characters on the street. Do you think they'd be likely to get on, or fall out?

They are extremely attractive young women in an OTT way (well, I suppose Roxy isn't now.....). Funnily enough though, I watched an old episode of Heartbeat or the Royal, can't remember which, some months ago and the girl who plays Eva was in it, as a downtrodden, hard up single mother. She looked so different! Shows what make up can do. She was quite convincing in the part, a good actress.

As for Jamie never fancying someone like Sonia, Sonia is lovely! You don't have to be a beauty queen type to be liked and fancied.

This is an unpleasant thread.

That Hibernian character is a real smooth talker, ain't he? I can't imagine him getting many women with that sort of banter ... Come on, tell us, what 'ugly' woman made you this bitter?

Who needs James Bond 007 when we have Hibernian 88 - International Man of Misogyny.

Interesting question Mel!!

If I was guessing I would suspect not!!
Don't think they'd particularly fall out (unless One went after the other's man) but I do think they would kind of despise each other & both think of the other as 'an airhead!!'

Ah yes the Maria thing!!

I do think that has been ramped up to 250% just to make it worse when she does find out about the 'affair' but yeah she has been very kind & doesn't deserve to be cheated on!! We know this, Aidan knows this & Maria knows this!!
Maria's situation, though it doesn't excuse her behaviour, kind of makes her part in it more understandable, though for once I'm not condoning her here!!
The real blame for me rests squarely with Aidan though!!
He should have taken responsibility & control of the situation long since & made it clear to Maria he loved Eva & that he was helping her purely as a friend despite their 'night of passion' which is what he started out doing (though of course it was obviously never true) & kept to that!! Instead every time Maria got emotional in thanking him he either gave her the impression he was about to snog her face off or actually did so & telling her he loved her the day she was about to be sentenced then ignoring her for the first ten days of her incarceration before making it plain nothing was going to change was just plain cruel!!
Likewise with Eva he should have made it plain long since that it was moving way too fast & he wasn't ready to move in with her but he is a typical Connor man isn't he!!

I've always been envious of Eva's height, I wish I was tall as her.

She makes me look like Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings.

I wrote the other day about the fact we are in a war against the erosion of our mental health. We are constantly questioning our self worth and trying to live with assistance from those around us to recognize the fact we need assurance and the odd compliment. I bet a dollar to a donut you have someone in your family who suffers from some kind of mental stress, be it mild or severe. And knowing that you come up with this. I could get very nasty to you right now but I'm not sure if you fall into one of the categories I mentioned. If you are in one of those you are forgiven, if not, quit it now.

ur joking yeah?!

first off, this thread is proper harsh! maybe u should go look at yourself before judging someone else!

second, Eva's not ugly!

she doesn't do it for me, blondes are not my type anyway, but she's far from ugly! i can deffo see why someone would fancy her, even tho she's really clingy. and im glad they changed her character, when she came in she was a evil, manipulating cow but now she's so nice! still clingy tho, so i wouldn't go out with her!

An appalling thread if you don't mind me saying.
What do you expect from a Hibs fan?
