Dirty soap suds

I hate soaps. I hate the crap churned out by Coronation Street and Eastenders week after week. The show's writers aim is to manipulate our emotions every day. The same shit happens to the same characters continually. Look at Eastenders 'Little Mo'... Now who the feck named her Little Mo? Obv. someone who didn't like her. Then she loses her mum, marries a child beater who nearly kills her, meets a loser (Billy) gets raped, has a baby by the rapist, then her loser husband leaves her ... And still bad stuff is happening to this totally unbelievable character.
Now Billy has shacked up with Honey. Honey has a dad called Jack whose now sharing bodily fluids with Peggy and helping little Mo's dad with his Rhubarb growing. Honey has a heart condition and might die if she has a baby... So of course the silly cow gets pregnant (and we're meant to warm to her and fret about this?). Meanwhile Sonia, had a boyfriend who was mowed down and killed by a drunk driver called Martin... She then of course (as you do) married Martin, had a baby gave it up, found the baby again and turned lesbian. Next week Martin finds her munching the rug with fellow student Naomi (who has a face like the back of the number 57 bus)
Why do we watch such utter shit?
Crikey we even have Soap Awards when these 2 bit actors dress up and get awarded for the most Emotionally manipulating moment.
I stumbled upon a soap forum by accident. My jaw dropped when I saw that there were 2456 users on the forum at that moment... 2456 people haven't got anything else to do but log onto a forum and discuss soaps?
2456 people without a brain cell between them?
Ummm yes.
I spotted a fascinating thread entitled
"pat nacked under her fure coat".

Roughly translated for the intelligent as " Pat (Butcher) naked under her fur coat".
A traumatic event even if it was spelt correctly.


A deeply traumatised Joshua prays that neither of these ugly bad actors is his father.
He's thinking of swapping soaps to Hollyoaks. Least the actors over there are of the beautiful variety. Plus the girls... corr.



Finally a word from our sponsor... quote found on the BBC website.
Vicki Bayard is a Script Editor for the show. She explains how stories are ... The first time I saw my name on the credits of EastEnders I started to cry

We know how you feel love. There,there....

Ok. I'll be the one to ask the obvious. If EE is such total shite, how come you seem to know so much about it??? Eh? Huh? eh? huh? eh?
