I've just heard something really profound on Corrie! (British soap)

Eileen Grimshaw:

"... I mean, if I were in India I'd be a Hindu, if I lived in Israel I'd be a Jew .... Religion's got nothing to do with faith, it's to do with geography."

Corrie!


Anybody else learned anything from a soap?

i love coronation street

there was a huge book (at staples of all places lol) that i think had all the scripts from corrie since forever! lol it was kind of interesting to flip through it and see names of long forgotten characters

but don't give me any spoilers
we are a few months behind

That I have an evil twin out there somewhere.

I've learned from EastEnders that I fancy Grant Mitchell.

That I can return back from the dead after died nine times. (like Sheridan on Passions for example)

Learn the tricks and trade of how to do things above the law/or take matters in your own hands and still be bad sexy mfuckers at the same time and acted like you are Socrates or something by giving advice to the other characters(Think Sonny, Luke, and Jason from General Hospital)

Reincarnate said:

emm said:

I thought if you were an American soap star you were liable to forget a year of your life whilst taking a shower.

Natisse said:

for the Grimshaws!

i've been away for a while but emily has found out who ed is (was that his name? ed? the one that killed her husband?) oh and sally lost it when driving rosie to boarding school. and fred proposed again. and ashley is freaking out over the prospect of loosing joshua.

emm said:

oh gosh ... you're around 6 months behind I think. I won't tell you what happens but things change rapidly in soapland

I've learned how to write cheesy plots and do acting badly.

That NO one is every really truly dead!

"smell the fart" acting

TMPletz said:

Oh yeah...soap opera stars are one notch above pornstars in terms of acting ability.

TMPletz said:

Passions I still watch it though. I think it would be awesome to go on that set.....seems like a lot of fun.

I've learned to stay really squeaky clean every day!

Death is not necessarily the end!

Also, I've learned to have important conversations with my back to the other person, arms folded, looking slightly up into the air.

And tough questions don't require immediate responses. Just look at the person for a while in silence.

At a huge party at the Carrington Estate, Krystal can always be found sitting in a huge chair in the Library, thats conveniently facing a wall, unbeknownst to 2 or more people who is plotting revenge or/and shady business dealings that involve her family.

Always refer to people by their full names

"John Black has a new identity now."

"Victor Kiriakis is up to his old tricks again"

"I'll bet it's that Stefano DeMira!!"

You are really making me laugh.


Here's another. Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, reveal a plot to kill, maim or injure someone, take control of their business empire or kidnap their children without first checking behind the curtain, door or wall for people that may be lurking in the shadows. And never trust a secretary.

that when my dead partner returns to life that it might be someone faking to be him, and that my children will grow from 4 or 5 to 25 in a night, when my real partner returns from the dead i'll be torn between my two men in my life, i can be possessed by the devil, live in a birdcage in a castle in Paris, and committ mass murder and people will still love me!!


thank you Days!!

oh definitely! Shawn D

luke and laura are meant to be together.

that everyone likes to have a lil' piece on the side.

That Ivory floats.
Dove disappears too fast.
Irish Spring is too damn strong.
Dial doesnt call anyone when I use it.
Lever 2000 never reaches any other parts other than my dingus.


I may have missed some, but that is all I have learned so far.
