for a little village there is an awful lot going on, morals of alley cats, and more thievery than bankers in the City.

Soap writers constantly tread a fine line between keeping things interesting enough to engage viewers' attention, without making things too ludicrous, given the extremely small physical areas in which soap characters live.
As with all soaps, the least analysis brings the entire edifice crashing down - a good deal of belief suspension is required to enjoy them.
It would appear from the range of observations here, that the writers are overdoing the 'drama' angle of things to a point where feasibility is creaking with the strain.
From my experience - although I haven't watched any soaps for years - the writers usually pull things back on track - these occasional 'off-piste' periods have to be endured until things swing around again.

the current story lines are as follows,
Val slept with a bloke whilst she was estranged from her husband, unbeknownst she contracted HIV, she learns she has it when the fling goes to the village to tell her, so she does the decent thing, doesn't get tested and essentially pushes away her husband, who gets a bit lonely and pissed and does the dirty with Vals sister, who doesn't know her sister has been diagnosed with HIV, so could also have it
then there is Priya dumped by David who she was supposed to marry, and is now carrying his baby, whilst David prefers someone else.
so far so bad
Bernice goes on a blind date with a con artist, she doesn't know he is of course, who promptly handcuffs her to the bed and robs the house.
Brenda has become a kleptomaniac, Bob finds out, but doesn't understand
then of course there is the warring Dingles, who seem about as dysfunctional a family you would wish to meet.
Declan slimeball is up to his ears in dodgy deals, and Charity almost got her own kin Sam sent down for setting fire to Declans place, which he didn't. But she did manage to persuade Rachel to leave,
so much more, but that is surely enough for one evening.
