Fella cheats on wife/girlfriend. The mistress and the wife/girlfriend then becoming pals after it.
Home and Away:
Bloke goes for a few bottles of an evening, and gets a bit steamed. His friends rally round and tell him he has a problem with the grog and needs help. Irene, who is off the grog, helps him through this tough time.

When a new kid comes to the bay, they will be fully integrated into the community within a month and it will be like they were always there. In the case of a hottie it will take less than a week.
Any couple who move to the bay will at some stage break up. Any couple who get married in the bay will usually end up divorced or one of them gets sent to prison or killed. Not a good place for couples really is it?!
It seems like emmerdale has a lot of fireworks to get through every year, always some sort of huge fiery disaster.
H&A always has a moment of a natural disaster, ie bush fire, tornado, floods, hurricanes etc and rinse and repeat until they threw in the earthquake scenario with the diner collapsing.
you never get away with cheating in a soap. no matter how much you hide it, or how little anyone knows about it, it always comes out in the end.
Neighbours:
When somebody leaves Ramsay Street every single person gathers around to wave farewell and everybody gets hugged by the departee in sequence. However they always reserve a special, extra cheesy tearful hug for their mum or whoever. Then a taxi takes them away, never to be seen again. Until the actor/actresses’ career starts floundering when they come back, grovelling.
The Coffee Shop is destroyed in a fire. Then it miraculously opens up again a couple of days later.
Eastenders:
-
No-one is ever just financially comfortable. They are either ‘Flush’ on top of their wheeler dealer world, owning bars/business or they haven’t a pot to piss in. This financial ruin seems to come about in the space of a couple of hours.
-
Even when people have made supposedly pots of money, they still live in the same grotty flat in a run-down part of East-london.
-
No-one ever has a happy stable relationship.
-
Everyone has multiple marriages/co-habiting relationships.
-
No-one owns a washing machine.
-
Very few people own cars.
-
The typical scenario whereby someone wishes to speak to someone in what will be a contentious conversation will be to use the term ‘A word’…
ie. Pat Butcher with a face on her will walk up to Phil Mitchell and say’ Phil, A Word’…
Dallas:
No story lines left… Create multiple amnesia.
Everyone goes to the pub at lunch, even the mechanics.
No one is ever barred from the pub, even if you had a fight there.
The pub is never damaged.
Ice doesn’t go into drinks.
Pints are pulled prior to someone ordering them
Everything comes to a head in the pub. Adultery is discovered etc etc. A small row might be breaking out but everyone goes quiet. Then someone storms out or whatever and the person left turns to the people in the pub and says something along the lines of ‘Well what are ye all looking at? Go back to your pathetic little lives.’
The bartender automatically knows what kind of pint the person wants, they never say, for example, “pint of guiness”, they just say, “pint please”.
Very few men work in bars
These simpletons have actually taken offence to a throw-away line in a soap opera. Dicks.

Rangers fans prompt Corrie change
Coronation Street bosses have changed the script for an episode of the soap after complaints from Rangers fans.
Supporters complained after the character Tony Gordon - played by Scottish actor Gray O’Brien - made a jibe about the Glasgow club.
O’Brien’s character had said: “I could no more be interested in Rosie Webster than I could support Glasgow Rangers.”
An ITV spokeswoman confirmed that after “dozens” of complaints, the script for a forthcoming episode had been changed.
ITV said that line seemed “to have caused some upset”.
One of the character’s lines in a future episode - reported to be a remark that he was allergic to “warm beer, the English national anthem and Glasgow Rangers” - has now been dropped.
The spokewoman said: "Both comments were in keeping with the character of Tony Gordon.
"But we have to bear in mind that it does seem to have caused some upset so the decision was made to take the line out.
“It doesn’t compromise the drama of the episode and if it did then the line definitely wouldn’t have been taken out.”
She added: “We also felt in the absence of a character balancing things up on the other side of the Old Firm, it was a line not worth repeating.”
Of course the imbeciles don’t realise that by drawing attention to the comment and getting it cut they’re making themselves look even more pathetic than they already do after they wrecked Manchester in the first place. I was over at the City of Manchester stadium nine days afer the UEFA final and asked a female security guard what she thought of the neanderthals’ fans and she replied with one word: “Animals”.
