Girly fights in soaps

Has anyone noticed a recent increase of fights between female soap opera characters? I believe Paul Collins in the late Brookside once referred to it as a 'fishwives' brawl'. Does anyone have any...

Can anyone tell me what you are supposed to ask your fishmonger to do in order to prepare a fish to be eaten whole, ie with head still on? Unlike many people, I like the look of fish, baked and served...
