hey, does ne 1 no wot the family secret is of that new family!?

The script writers; the producers; the actors - probably nobody who contributes here. have patience, though - all will be revealed to Hayley in a couple of week's time.

(PS hope you understand this - can't really speak reduced-letter English very well!)

So you do know something !

All I know is what I've read in the DigitalSpy Spoilers. Now if that doesn't make me a sad person, I don't know what does!

I know what the secret is but if I told you I would have to kill you as it's top secret, lol!

This is not a text message, write properly. Also use "know", it's the correct spelling.

It looks like many people under 18 are degrading into txt spk (text speak) rather than writing properly. Take a look at the BBC Pure soap or EastEnders message boards! Practically every message either has txt spk, words spelt wrong, or the wrong variation of words used (e.g. there instead of their, no instead of know). Will we have a nation of adults who can't spell?

words spelt wrong

...or, to be more correct, wrongly!

LOL I was just about to put that too!

People in glass houses ....

Good point m8 u r deff right their (joke!), but does this not reflect the intelligence of the average soap viewer?? You would have to be pretty dumb to beleive in half the rubbish that goes on in soaps.
Lets face it soaps are to tv what McDonalds is to eating out ................. cheap mass produced crap thats easy to digest but never really fills your appetite.

You're absolutely right, of course. But they do serve a purpose. After all, who would want to spend their leisure time reading only Shakespeare or Dickins. Life is about variety so there is a need for Harold Robbins and Jeffrey Archer too (well, Harold Robbins, anyway!).

So yes - most soaps are populist, pulp fiction but on the whole, they're pretty harmless and pass the odd half an hour here and there. (Unless you watch all of them in which case they pass the odd two or three hours every night!)

The secret is

A family arrive in a small street from nobody knows where and
within days both husband and wife have got separate jobs without having to move away from the small street

Almost like everybody in Eastenders getting a job AND a flat on the square ...

er ... it's fiction mate, you don't have to BELIEVE it! If we're all so dim, why are you on this thread talking to us? Couldn't an intelligent person like you find something more uplifting to do? Okay, soap opera isn't high art, but it is slightly more challenging than a lot of the pap on the box - like low-budget quiz shows.

I seem to think the family secret is something to do with them being on a witness relocation scheme - just a guess but I bet I'm right!

Exactly why does it matter if people spell correctly? I for one only use this great board for info rather than deep political discusions?? I mean if someone is discussing corrie does it really matter?? When i want to expand my mind I head over to the discovery forums. You cant tell me when you were younger you didnt use slang? Times change and so does vocabulary as well as the ways we use language! You see not only did u generalise about people under 18 but you got it wrong! We only use "text Speak" when we are using the internet and mobile phones I dont know one person that would hand GCSE coursework full of Y's, L8rz or M8's?? Okey?

For your info i am 15/m/uk ok!

We only use "text Speak" when we are using the internet and mobile phones I dont know one person that would hand GCSE coursework full of Y's, L8rz or M8's?? Okey?

Unfortunately, I DO know people who have done that and no, it's not "Okey".

So because there are the odd idiot thats stupid enough to hand in work like that it dosnt mean "many" under 18's do that! Anyway I stand by my point that language developes over time. I mean take Skakespeare fo instence if we all talk as they did back then would people be complaining if we staed to use what we now call english?

It's preferable for members not to use 'text speak' when posting on DS, as it is generally felt that it detracts from the quality of the post being made.

However, let's get back to the topic of the thread; this isn't the place to debate the rights or wrongs of 'text speak'.

It matters because, as this is a message board, you're writing for the benefit of the people reading; you're not writing for yourself. I assume you intend, and wish, your post to be read? If so, write so it's easy to read.

As James says this is not the place to discuss spelling, lets please get back to what this thread is about!

I'm guessing its something like that too!

well... either...

there in witness relocation... (probable - most unlikly), i mean can you imagine people with guns and lasers creeping around the street spying on them?

or perhaps

Angela (the mother) bluffed it as a job as sewist in hunters bar sheffield, and her references caught up with her and her boz sacked er. LOL

they ripped of the local .... (as in bar, corner shop, newsagents BLA BLA BLA)

or the secret is they left there loved ones.. (as in husband and wife) and did a runner with each other..)

although couldnt explain how the kids would be calling one of by ther normal name...

If they're so scared that they hide behind the settee when someone knocks on the door then it's something pretty major - not just some unpleasantness with an ex turning up. I think they've grassed to the police about somebody, although they also seem frightened of the police ...

THIS POST CONTAINS THE SPOILER!!!



























Unlikly it isn't!
Angela shopped in a gang (can't remember what they did) and now they are on a witness relocation programme, scared in case they are tracked down!!! Therefore they have all got new identities, and should talk to past relatives

BTW, I got this info the other week from the 180 soap (each monday) section on Channel 4 Teletext

horay!

I got it right!
