It's always been daft but this is beyond a joke. Janine is hated by the blond club owner yet somehow gets a job cleaning. Now within about 2 days she is on the verge of buying a stake in the club after being a manager for a few days. Jesus wept.

How did Sean survive swimming under frozen ice for a minute and then walk off with no money or anything into a winter night without dying?

Why is Billy suddenly living with Janine? Why would he listen to a thing she said? How did they get away with living there when it's that black guy's house and he's back now?

A good thread, some astute observations.

Most on the square dont work....

Even the hooker spends all day outside the massgae parlour...

They all have enough money to eat out and drink in the pub all day, despite either working in a shop, nail bar, chippy or cab firm on minimum wage.

Phil owns a garage called the arches, but we never see it anymore, or know who works there. In fact, non-one of the cast seen to drive that much, despite having a garage on the square that has different cars every episode.

I love it when they have a stag/hen do. They all want to poke each others eyes out for most of the year, but when someone has a party it's a right royal barrel of laughs - especially for the 'extras' who are only allowed to grin like idiots in the background as speaking a word would mean they have to be paid £50 or something

I also love it, generally, when they try do a bit of comedy. It's f ing briliant! Garry and Minty are comedic actors of the highest degree.

But I love it most off when they all go away on a trip - to Southend, France or Norfolk - blimey they get up to some wacky antics.

And Nick Cotton is the best actor in the world.

The comment about no two people ever having the same first names is spot on. In real life it happens all the time, but never is a soap.

When someone has a go at someone else in the Vic (usually along the lines of 'all of you stood there, none of you has ever helped me out, can't stand the sight of any of you' etc etc) the juke box is turned down and everyone stands there gawping.

In a real East End pub you'd have a couple of glasses flying through the air and fists as well. But in Eastenders you can stand in the pub and** off everyone and no-one will have a go back.

Then a couple of days later you're back there propping up the bar when it's the next person's turn to make a t1t of themselves.

But for all its weaknesses, I watch it so I can perv at Denise. She is HOT!

I spend a lot of time screaming at Eastenders.

Minty - starts off as a slum landlord with a property empire and then within a few months in working as a mechanic and moving into a rented flat with Gary.

Despite the fact that it used to just be Gary and Minty living together, the flat now plays host to Dawn, her baby and Darren.

Similar overcrowding at the Slaters and Pat's house.

Why is Charlie the same age as his mother-in-law?

When Archie was first introduced he was living in a mansion on the south coast. Now he spends all his time drinking coffee and reading the paper at the bar of the Queen Vic. What has happened to his house?

How old is Patrick meant to be? At one stage it seemed like he was retired, now he runs the corner shop.
