One other thing I HAVE to comment on: Vicky (Dennis' and Sharon's sister), suddenly came onto the show after living with mom Michelle in Florida her whole life. (Do you remember the hopeless attempt she made originally to speak with an American accent?) THEN, Sharon sends her BACK to her mom, and a few months later, Vicky comes back, having picked up that typical Floridian SCOTTISH accent. Apparently, the dialogue/accent coach on the set found her a hopeless cause. ALSO, how is it that characters like Little Mo and Lynne, with minimum-wage, part-time jobs (Mo, basically a cleaning lady at the Vic, Lynne bouncing from working at the caf, to the launderette, etc.), can have a life crisis, but decide in as little as a day to pack up and leave--do the show's characters all have secret Swiss bank accounts to fund such life-changing, spur-of-the-moment decisions? And when Andrew's watched it, he's also pointed out that it's very odd that it can be midday (say, the nitwit Ferreras are in the caf having tea), yet SIMULTANEOUSLY, people are in Angie's Den, a nightclub, not a pub, dressed and partying as if it's two in the morning. Then they'll cut to a scene of, say, Gary and Minty in the garage.
Now we watch the show simply because there are so MANY opportunities to take the piss. If anyone's ever seen "Mystery Science Theater," with the robots and human mocking the dialogue and plots of old B-list movies, that's what an evening's episode of EastEnders is for us.
