Not forgetting dropping your washing off at the lauderette for a service wash cos you live in the only square in Britain where no one has a washing machine.

It's a strange twighlight world where...... the blokes in the pub never discuss football, no one stays in to watch tv, people buy take out cups of tea from a cafe next to their house and people get cured of illnesses overnight!

Though Phils son Ben once wore a West Ham shirt.

And have you ever been told to come in to the doctors surgery in half an hour? At mine you're lucky if you can get in a fortnight next Tueday.

And they into the Vic and ask for "a bottle of lager". Spoofed very well by Alastair McGowan's "a bottle of non-specific".

And theres always a black cab driving past the Vic at closing time when someone wants to go to the airport. Do they not realise a black cab from the East End to Heathrow would cost the best part of a ton.

In a world where people pay to have sex with Janine money is obviously no problem! Talking of money I recon they killed Tom off incase he wanted a 40% pay rise
And don't ever consider slagging off Dr Trueman the guy is a genius. He managed to cure Janines agrophobia, Charlies heart condition, Marks HIV and heal Jamies wounds he got after Phils beating overnight and the only time hes set foot in the surgery was to give flu jabs that any normal Dr would have got a nurse to do!

Kat Slaters suicide attempt. 2 weeks in hospital, totally cured of her depression and back at work. The NHS at its best.

Money no object, why go Tesco or Sainsburys, just do your weekly shopping at the local corner shop. which probably charges £2.50 for a bag of sugar.

Want a new job? Thers bound to be one going if you ask around. Just turn up for an interview and sit outside the office with the 15 other candidates.

Wanna buy a house? Walfords your place. The only place in London where 3 bedroom Victorian houses with basements in a garden style square are going for 50 grand.

This thread could run and run.................I'm still trying to figure out why Trevor sat in a room no more than 10ft from the ground burning to death had he never heard of windows? Oh and why is Kat orange and why did no one give a monkeys where Zoe had gone this time after all the fuss they made last time??

Where exactly is Zoe, did no one fail to recognise that the last time she went missing she almost became a prostitute.
What sort of 18 year old has friends who will let her just turn up and live with them for months.

Janine, seriously suffering from depression, on drugs and a prostitute.
A week with Billy and shes off the drugs with no medical assistance whatsoever.

What is the attraction of an east end basement, consiting of one room, a dj and a few chairs?

How about 'my friends got this problem'....

Whenever someone does something really bad and unforgivible then something happens in that episode where the person ends up proving themsleves subsequently gaining back people trust.

I think the biggest plothole is in Brookside where a childrens cresh (which is never actually used) is beside a bar. Surely that is a bit odd?

The UK's worst soap actors are all in Coronation Street.

Tyrone, Fizz and Kirk.

Them three should think themselves extremely lucky to be on Television with such little talent.

I disagree......... they play 3 inarticulate born losers roles which they have filled admirably.

I remember last year they did a special with all the corrie kids on holiday and I just thought ...yuuueeeek when i tuned in. Altogether it was like watching panto.

Would it be a lot to ask if the cast of East Enders actually sound like they come from the East End. About the only one who does is Billy Mitchell.
(Not really sure if anyone outside London would really notice this though, let me know).

...............or even look like they come from the East End!
I have not seen that many white faces in one place in the East End since the National Front last had a rally! All we get is one token Black family and an Asian working in a Newsagents, lol.
The East End famous for it's multi cultural society would it be too much to ask to show this?

I am pretty sure i heard Kat or Lynne mention something about Zoe being in Marbella. Anyone else hear this?! The worst actress is Sam Mitchell. That episode recently where she threatened Dave with a baseball bat was hilarious! - "We're the Mitchell's and this is our manor' - and her mouth moves like Sharon's. The worst EVER actress was from a couple of years ago. Remember Zoe's friend who was engaged to Robbie? She was small and blonde hair. It was horrific to watch her!

Yes he SHOUTS too much!!!

The amount of times we hear 'we're Mitchells we stick together.' If I knew Peggy in real life I'd feel sorry for her, shes dillousinal and one of her sons is actually missing.

EE has imroved though, I was watching some UK gold episodes from the late 90's and there were terrible actors and characters - Huw, Lenny, Ruth, Mary the irish girl and her dad Connor, the vicar, Frankie, Polly the scum journalist, Sarah, Tony....

It really has got a decent case at the moment

You mean Kerrie Skinner? urgh what a horror ahe was. Could never understand a word she was saying. i`m so glad she`s gone.

It's the same with Corrie. Half the cast come from Yorkshire and as any northerner will know, they have different vowel sounds from a mancunian

I agree, it's better now than it used to be

there are still about 1/3 of the cast who can't act

but the characters are better now.

Those 2 gay lads used to bore me to tears. They were just time filler

I'm surprised they can afford a house at all

They buy all their food and drink from a cafe next to their house. They spend every night in the Vic swilling ale and get all their washing done at the laundrette.

2 more things

why is it when someone is spying through the window, they pull the venetian blind down with their finger, thus letting everyone outside know they are spying out the window?

why is it when someone returns from somewhere (eg Phil when he stepped out of the cab from Portugal) they take a long look up at their dwelling as though the place is totally alien to them?

How many bedrooms are there in the Slater House? At one time there was the dad, Big Mo, Little Mo, Kat, Zoe, Lynn and Gary. And they had Donna and her baby staying with them. Assuming that Lynn and Gary need their own room, and that the dad doesn't sleep with his mother law or any of his daughters ... that left both Mos, Kat, Zoe and Donna all in one bedroom (if it IS a 3 bedroom house). Have they got bunkbeds or what?

Not a bad sized-house for £50,000 ....

They always do that after the 'Away' episodes filmed abroad. Or when a character is going to leave they run into just about everyone of the cast as they try to reach the tube or the bus station while looking at all the hot spots.

Or how about when someone is leaving for good they just miss a person entering the Square, either by driving past them or exiting the Square at a different exit.

the worst actor has got 2 be steven beale i dont care if he's only 13 put sum damn, feeling in 2 ur words, he spks so slowly aswell and only ever has one expression on his face which reads: i am a fishshop owners son! i need 2 get a life, it takes him ages 2 get a sentence out! i.....hate..u, i'm...glad.u.r...not ...my dad!
