Most of England, and probably the rest of the world will disagree with me here, but what are the point or purpose to soaps? The same things just happen over and over again. Woman A sleeps which Man B whilst secretly having a lesbian affair with Woman B who just happens to be Man A's wife and Man B's long lost brother who returned from the dead for the Christmas special. What do people find so interesting about the childishly over-exaggerated storylines by writers who most probably only scraped through English Literature and social studies at high school?
Don't the characters with their stupid names and over-the-top personalities ever get annoying? Don't people ever wonder why they don't leave the street or village they are in, particularly given the ridiculous amount of trauma they suffer every single week? How about the over-used stage pieces (think or a pub or cafe) - go on holiday or something for fucks sake - the world does not revolve around the one street you live in! Why has everybody slept with everyone else? Why does not one single marriage go smoothly? I mean, when was the last time you went to a wedding where the bride admits at the alter that she slept with the groom's father just 2 days earlier?
Please remove this shite from my TV and put something better on like the A-team.

When did you turn into such an old man? Over your last seven posts (that's how many are stored in the ole feed reader), you've managed to moan about soaps, your feed reader count, Marks and Spencer adverts, Star Trek and bloggers who talk about themselves. Are you auditioning for Grumpy Old Men?

Yeah soaps are absolutely worthless. They are basically reject hollywood stars so only appeal to jobless people with no life, or old people. I hate all soaps!

Yes indeed, soap operas are the backwash of entertainment. Trying to understand the value of them is like trying to understand the value of armpit hair.
Nice post. - On 30th July 2006 Damien said:

Hey listen mate your not on your own! The amount of time that is wasted on watching other peoples lives that DON`T exist is absolutely ridiculous! It`s these people that make it so, that we have to endure the shit every day. It makes me piss that there is a slot on daytime television specially for the sad bastards that watch it so they can find out what happens before the programme is screened before they watch it. WHAT IS THE POINT????????? once you know what`s happening why do you need to see it? And as for the life around one street is concerned.. how the fuck do the wankers on benefits (e.g. that ginger twat on coronation street, don`t know what his name is but ginger twat will do) go to the pub on fuck all money and sit there all day moaning about the fact they are skint? well they should be banned, I could go on all day but enough said, soaps are shit and I hope one day the television is banned also!!!!!!!!!!!! it`s a means to boredom and depression, one day scientists will discover that it is the root of all evil and do the same thing to IT as they have done to cigarettes which might I add, has given me more comfort than the twisted script writers that think this shit might give me on every fucking week night they are shown!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and quickly which bunch of fucking dumb, fucked up, mongy bastards thought that deirdre barlow was really in prison? It`s a show you morons she doesn`t even exist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well ttfn and hope you know what I mean! stay off the soaps, they`re worse than heroin and wil do more harm to you later life because you`l why you spent so much of your life watching them... enjoy your own you only get one of them! thank you goodnight

I thoroughly agree with you Mr Tucker.
What a sad, pathetic and pointless waste of time soaps are. They could spend the money on intelligent entertainment, but noooo. We just get this dross every F**king night.
I HATE!!!! the "Corry", Bleuuuughhh!! music. It sounds like an old man's cheesy fart.
Holly Oaks!!!! Don't even go there. Mono-dimensional acting and EVERYONE IS ALWAYS ARGUING!!! or a secret gay boinking their sister and her boyfriend, who is actually her dad and brother.
It's bad enough when 15 yr old girls watch this shite, but when "adults?" do, I just want to shoot them. - Leave your comment...
