Soap clichés

[crazy_purple]

I thought we could make a list of all the things that always happen in soaps and are so predictable :p Like this:

- If two people are talking about a secret that they don't want someone else to know, then that person, or someone who will tell them about it, will always be stood behind a door or something.

- Everyone always has 'the usual' at the pub, and the person serving them always knows exactly what it is they mean.

:)

When two people are having an affair in soapland, someone always ends up catching them and are then begged not to tell anyone their secret!

[Jessie Wallace]

In soap land, even the family that have no money, manage to make it down the pub every night!

they never watch (for eastenders) bbc at 7:30/8:00 or whateever :p

[Jessie Wallace]

They always go to the local Cafe for a drink, or food everyday, rather than popping home which is only like 200yards across the road!

[CrazyLea]

none of them have washing machines (eastenders)

[Chris_2k11]

Everyone with jobs always works within the street or village or the square lol, they never work a long distance away.

You can talk at the top of your voice to someone, but if the rest of the cafe/restaurant/pub/room aren't supposed to hear it, they won't. :p

[Angeltigger]

You never see people move house (the hunters, Ben, The burtons ( all Hollyoaks))

If a member of your family dies, you will not react for about a week, then when you do you will be utterly hysterically upset... and then 3 weeks after that, you're hopping into bed with people, having a laugh, never really talking about your dearly departed and just generally acting as though they never existed, and nothing ever happened!

*Yes Kings of Emmerdale I'm looking at you! :angry: *


Oh yes, and......

People have the most atrociously disgusting sex lives, sleeping with every new, or not new, whore/manwhore that comes along, and yet nobody ever gets STIs! :rolleyes:

[Chris_2k11]

In Angie's Den (nightclub!), when people talk, their voices always seem to drown out the noise of the music, and they can always be heard perfectly :rolleyes:

You never see money change hands in buisiness deals.

[soapyclean]

you dont see many business deals, let alone the paper work, no one ever gets married without something going wrong.
Everyone has money to go away, even if they are skint two minutes ago.

[Katy]

the houses always seem to fit tons of people in them when they only look small. E.g. slaters, barlows.

[parkerman]

1. People can always take time off work whenever they like. Either just for a few minutes or for a fortnight's holiday.
2. Babies can be abandoned every night while their parent(s) go to the pub.
