How come all the soaps are now getting stupid.They are supposed to be a real take on life and current situations.So how come with the present restrictions Emmerdale,Coronation st and Eastenders the pubs (Woolpack.Queen Vic and Rovers and Bistro) are open and serving as normal inside people served at bar.The cafes and restaurants are serving people who eat inside as normal.I know they film in advance but surely its not convincing with the present lockdown restrictions.The scriptwriters need to realise that it makes them look silly

I haven’t watched them for years. Used to like Corrie in the Olden Days, East Enders is always so serious.
soaps are supposed to be a real take on situations????
Maybe because they are filmed months in advance?
I think that Doctors is doing really well.
Getting? they've been completely radio since 1986!
Same as Tony says, the problems will arise when they get caught up, already it's odd watching the soaps, I notice it's okay for Pollard and Brenda to have a kiss and a cuddle as they are real life partners
No, soaps are not supposed to be a real take on life and current situations - they're called documentaries. Soaps are mini-dramas and escapism.
If they were anything like real life, they would be so boring and a big turn-off for those who watch them.
They are filmed at least three months in advance and cannot be expected to keep up to date with Covid restrictions
It's quite interesting the number of real-life couples who have emerged from Emmerdale...several of them.
And in Corrie, Ginge. Tim and Abbi are a real life couple and of course Audrey was married to the rotter Alan Bradley who died quite recently
Yes Ginger, Debbie Dingle and David
Rhona and Cain
bobbi...the most surprising? Victoria's boyfriend Luke is partnered with the guy who played his brother (and Victoria's rapist)Lee! Small world, eh?
Yes, I forgot about Luke and Lee , good one :0)
How boring (more boring) the soaps would be if there were any more Covid restrictions. Are they convincing at any time?
Cleggie, because they're pretend. They don't have to reflect reality with complete accuracy. People don't want to watch soap operas and be reminded of the crap that we're all having to endure in real life.
Stopped watching them a few years ago as they became ridiculous in my opinion
mozz: "People don't want to watch soap operas and be reminded of the crap that we're all having to endure in real life. " - yes they seem to want to watch 1000 times more wretched than life.
I think the last time I watched a Soap Jack and Vera were bringing each other back from death or something... I was so taken in by the realism.
17.38 " they've been completley Radio since 1986"
They are on Tv also these days. PMSL
The Bill was close to real life
