TV Soaps

I watch emmerdale and Corrie, not sure why as they mostly annoy the heck out of me. For example, Kim Tate was near losing her leg a couple of weeks ago but now no crutch and tight boots! CHILDREN - Why are babies/children not seen for years. Tracy Barlow was upstairs for the 1st 10 years of her life, baby Evan (Dawn's son) hasn't been seen since he came out of hospital (he must be walking by now) I could go on. Everyone I know with kids have them downstairs and in their life most of the time. I don't think these kids will be socialised as they seem to be in solitary cinfinement for years!!
