I don't watch soaps anymore either, ... Everyone lives in dingy, dark, gloomy flats and goes around with long faces shouting and snapping at each other. They also seem to live in a time warp and haven't moved on since WWll. I keep expecting to hear air raid wardens and see everyone sitting around in shelters with curlers in their hair.

There was one character yesterday that really got to me - she looked like she was contorting her face to look even gloomier and depressing than the others. She reminded me of Myra Hindley - evil looking. Dont know her character name but she is blonde, around 50 and lives with Phil.
Eastenders is unfortunately a realistic portrayal of peoples demeanour in the gritty east end of london.
For me the worst of the lot was when Pauline went to Ireland and they really took "Pigs in the Parlour" to an extreme (if I recall correctly Tony Blair to his credit apologised).
Should "could" be "should"?... viewers could be sectioned . ....
By the way the women nobody seemed to know the name of is Shirley.. she reminds me a bit of Carol in Fair City
