A soap year

[dothawkes]

I once read that a year in soap or a pregnancy in soap were a lot shorter than real life, so that the storylines would move along quicker to hold the attention of the viewer, so how come we have been watching the shelley/charlie saga and the kat/alfie/little mo saga for the past 12 months?

I gave up on 'Enders about a year ago dot, i think you'll find all the hip cats are watching Hollyoaks now:0)

i can't tell who is who on Hollyoaks as they all look like supermodels and the girls are all blonde

I went for a job on Hollyoaks, apparently you can be too good looking nowadays. :0(

ah bless, never mind, u can always try Bad Girls, Fenner can be replaced!

Neighbours is shorter than a real year, most soaps like Coronation Street or Eastenders run in real time so they can do huge big episodes at Christmas and stuff

I remember in Emmerdale, Kim Tate got pregnant a month before me and had her baby (James) a month after. So she was pregnant for 11 months.
