My dislike of soaps is well known and I rarely join into threads about them but isn't it a sad indictment of society that these shows amuse and addict so many supposedly "intelligent" people? So much so that the comings and goings are considered news? Are the lives of so many so empty that they must indulge in this depressing drivel?
Soaps have become a constant deluge of violence, misery and despair with hardly any humour that's why my wife and I stopped watching them a few years ago. Any trailer on TV advertising what's coming up on any soap confirms our decision was correct.
I think WDYTYA only has to take you back as far as a gateway ancestor: before that hordes of historians and Red Dragon Pursuivants will have done the work for you.
he's not really asking whether it's tasteful but whether it's news. But the BBC has posted it under its entertainment section, which is where it belongs.
TTT you wonder why some people watch soaps?
I wonder why some people watch football.
22 people kicking a ball around a field come rain or shine just so they can get the ball in the net.
In the years BC (before Covid) these men would be hugging and kissing and crowds would be cheering and shouting and quite often fighting after the match just because a ball was kicked into the net.
Sorry, I just don't get that at all.
I always thought it was the other way around. Soaps pick up on current storylines from the news and then play them out. Sometimes good but often rubbish.I have never been a fan of Danny Dyer. He's not a very good actor and I can't stand the way he swaggers about. However each to his own .
A good soap series is just like a book except you never get to the ending.
