I don't think it is particularly true to life. Firstly, nobody seems to have a washing machine. Secondly, they all seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in one pub. Not that this diminishes the show in any way. It certainly has a gritty realism that is missing from other soap operas, although it does fall into the common trap of sensationalism.

I think my favourite character is Dot Cotton, one of the best drawn characters on British television.

I didn't really like that episode to be honest. I didn't like watching the way that Heather is portrayed. I find it hard to believe anyone behaves like that in real life, and even if they did, I can't imagine a woman like Shirley encouraging that sort of behaviour. I found it completely unrealistic

hi Uk-Shree

thanks for your comment, albeit differing from mine, but hey! everybody is entitled to their opinion. I reckon some of the characters aren't really portraying real people, but we do get people in real life whoo are.. stupid, greedy and mean, tarty, nasty, loud, etc etc. i see all of that going on in eastenders! lol

ps thanks for the friend request which ive accepted, hope to see you around the boards.

Hello again, I thought we should be friends, seeing as we both have an interest in Eastenders - there seem to be so few on here that do!

Yes of course I agree, everybody is bound to have a different opinion. I also like the way there are so many different personalities on the show.

hi UK_Shree

did you hear about Wendy Richard? maybe you won't remember her depending on your age. I liked her Eastenders, sadly she has lost her battle with cancer and has died at the age of 65. She played the character Pauline and was very popular, she will be sorely missed.

I think some of it is true to life as people do act like they do in eastenders in real life. However all the situations that happen within Albert Square which is like a space of one square mile is unrealistic cos if all that stuff happened where you lived you'd probably move away and never look back

Hiya Musical
thanks for responding to this discussion. LOL i think i'd move away too if it were that busy and too many people knowing so much of each other's business! I'm lucky if i see one neighbour a week!
