Things you never see on soaps.

...They never go to the toilet

Very few of them seem to use the bathroom either - I mean I don’t want to see that obviously, but it is a fact of life

They never catch their sleeve on a door handle.

Great minds and all that boheminan!

They never say what time they're meeting up with someone.

You never see the frustration of waiting for a court case, everything gets sorted out within weeks instead of years!

All appear to have plenty of money whether they are employed even in a menial job, being able to go out for breakfast so frequently.

They don't spend most of their time on social media, posting pictures of their dinner.

You never see anyone pacing around, saying "Can you hurry up, please?" at a toilet hogger.

They never seem to decorate their houses, though many have wallpaper, curtains etc which are now in the shops. You never see where those who have cars, actually park them

They never seem to run out of space - their houses seem to accommodate everyone who needs to be there. I often wondered how many bedrooms the Queen Vic has.

They rarely arrange meeting times - I'll meet you at so and so later. In the pub they ask for 'a pint please'. A pint and of what?

They never change their bedding.

I agree with most of these, but not the toilet one.
It's fairly common now on Corrie (maybe Emmerdale too?) for someone in the pub to say they are off to the toilet, or in their home to tell someone to hurry up in the bathroom. Quite a few scenes take place in the pub toilets too.

Their lives are so busy and they are never bored.

Things have obviously gone downhill since I last watched a soap!

I blame pooping flamingo games.

Eileen Grimshaw's house is a case in point dragonfly there have been five or six people living there at times.
Never see anyone doing housework laundry etc. How many people actually use a launderette on a regular basis now as per Enders.
Roy's Rolls must be a veritable goldmine as Corrie folk never have breakfast or lunch at home.

If I could get out more I would !!!

No 2 characters ever have the same Christian name.

No one has to cope with a crisis without being on first name terms with a very obliging solicitor/doctor/nurse/police officer who lives a few doors along.

Does anyone read a book never seen any bookcases in the living rooms

Coronation Street is set in the Manchester area with Manchester City & Manchester United on their doorstep but you never hear them discussing football, even in the pub.

I think they play safe and stay neutral on the football topic. They refer to a fictional football team. One of the cast is a player. Can’t remember the team name. Weatherfield County maybe?

They never watch soaps!

Never see continuity........ example: suntanned face, change camera angle then pale face for next shot!
Eileen Grimshaw, Nick (whatever his surname is) and many others.

Or do ironing or make shopping lists or online grocery orders!
