Soaps by Thingamie

I do love the OTT nature of emmerdale and I love cain
Im a bit gutted we will lose Declan cos of Charity also if Megan didn't leave I feel she will become annoying wiyhout anyone else to bounce off of

I also loved bad girls may have to download it

Soutra I expect you now know where Thingamie came from but if you want a few laughs check out the last couple of pages of "Homeless Mumsnetters come this way". Jings I really enjoyed the banter, made me chuckle, thank you.

Shingmaoniao you are the only other person I have found who watches Emmerdale! I am glad that Charity has been found out at last but I don't think the story is finished yet. She always seems to win in the end.

Gone off Corrie at the moment. Don't like the storyline re Max.

Can't imagine Enders would go on much longer without Shirley coming back. I miss Bad girls too.

If you go onto Digital Spy website, you can find out all the soap gossip!

This is where DDs come in handy. I just message mine and she fills in the blanks.

I do hate the whole ADHD thing such a suddenly change and an extremely quick diagnosis very unrealistic

stan is not micks dad otherwise he woulda have abused shirley and she said he didn't as far as mick knows stan is his dad

Does anybody remember "Gossip Calypso"? Not very PC these days but I seem to remember a line like "Your father's not your father, but your father don't know". That is the impression I get from the soaps quoted!

I am confused now, they can't bring Mick's Dad in as he is Stan Thingamie, I did wonder if he was also Dean's Dad , all hell will break loose when they discover Shirley is Mick's Mum if it ever happens. I have great difficulty getting my head round the Carter family if I'm honest..

Galen I don't get them either now as I did that Adchoice thingy and all those awful moving ads have gone! Including the banner at the top!
It's great!

But they're not real - not like Montalbano

I don't get ads about walking shoes? Why not?

Um. Yes, well... I only watch EastEnders and Coronation Street and love them both. But, there is penty of stuff to pick on, as always, isn't there.
We have to take them for what they are though, it's not real life, just entertainment. And if people don't like them can switch over, can't they.
Personally, Kylie in Corrie is bugging me at the moment because of the sudden switch in her character. The ADHD thing is totally daft.
But I shall go on watching regardless as mainly I hugely enjoy them and it is something to look forward to in the evenings.

Thank you jingl I think I see.

Its mad isn't is they are all related to everyone else i get soo confused
i didn't catch the bit about Kevin not being Deans dad ooh wonder who is
guess he will be brought in when Dean is revealed as a rapist to help rehabilitate him

I think i read somewhere they will be bring Micks dad into it so wonder what he will be like ?

I have watched Eastenders since Day One (30 years next year) and am still none the wiser as to who is related to who.

I am just getting my head around the fact that if Shirley is Mick's mother then Dean is his brother (Dean mentioned a few days ago that Kevin was not his real father...so is Micks father his too???)

Walking shoes in the advert that I only get on my ipad mini and kindle fire. Not on my pc. Thread was last night. Called "Invasion of Mumsnetters" I think.

Thanks Thingamie <fog clearing now>

I messaged u back about the name change Soutra sorry to confuse

Yer she has a daughter Carley i think (my memory is rubbish too) and he is called Dean
Cant remember where or why Carly went tho
Eastenders is very slow at the moment i think soaps in general are dragging out thier story lines far too long

yer i felt really sorry for Sam too and Jai
I hope Debbie sticks to her guns and doesnt speak to her she is a very toxic mother
Jimmy's storyline is just ridiculas and so predictable that once he heard he was called Carl he would be in his life

I dont treat these shows as real but i still do enjoy watching them and picking them apart at times because the shows and producers etc often say they make them true to life, which is clearly untrue

I have read the posts on this thread jingl and AM NONE THE WISER. Are there other threads on the same subject?
1) I don't "get" the OP's name and subsequent name change
2) what walking shoes?

It is too early in the day for riddles and it was defo too late last night to go to Specsavers to read /work out OP's name.

So it it's not to much to ask - what is this all about?
(Oh I know, it's Soaps, but as I dont watch any of those mentioned the plot lines are a foreign country as far as I am concerned.)

Has Shirl got a daughter somewhere as well as the son who did the baaaad deed (can't even remember his name now). At one point I had it in my head that Lola was her daughter, but that's wrong. Is there another blonde girl belonging to her somewhere?

Oh yes! Of course! (about Alfie and Kat) How could I forget tht?!

See what you're up against on here Thingamie - slightly potty old gits ageing brains.

Soutra get with the picture read the threads.

I only watch Stenders but I'm finding it a drag at the moment! It's all a hit unbelievable! I don't think Dean thinks he's having an affair with Linda, I think he's menacing! I think Linda is brilliantly acted! I love Alfie and Kat and can't imagine how this can work out for them!

Is Holby a soap? I have been watching that for years too!

Hope Charity gets what she deserves,felt so sorry for Sam when he heard what she done to Rachel,stupid stories for Jimmy recently,he can be quite funny but no need to be making him look foolish.
Corrie,getting fed up waiting for the truth to come out about Tina's murder,like a lot of story lines in all soaps,they tend to drag on and on.

Where did the Shiangmaoniao come from (that's what the OP comes up as on my screen) and how did it become thingamie?
Hiccup HQ? Gremlins?
There is no lack of somewhere to air your views - that's why this is called TV and radio.
But TBH, what need is there to treat these programmes as real anyway? If something is rubbish there's is a handy button on the remote to switch it off or at leastover to something better.
