Let's say, for arguments sake, that the average soap-opera fan is a drooling cabbage who's reaction to the show is on a level with a dog watching fireworks.
Why has nobody reacted to the increasing trend of familiar faces appearing in these wretched odes-to-stupidity?
I watched a few minutes of a couple last week and saw in Eastenders - Barbara Windsor and Shane Ritchie, and in Coronation Street is that lomping retard from Boyzone that used to race Rally Cars and point a lot in the videos.
Surely it would cause a reaction? These things are supposed to be "real-life as drama" aren't they? So why does not one character say "Hang on, you're Barbara Windsor - an aging former sexpot notorious for almost flashing her fish-belly white fatbaps in Carry-on movies"?
I'll go one further - why not have regular cameos from other-series characters purely for entertainment value? Spice these stupid programmes up for irony factor?
The A-Team in Emmerdale? Hannibal arrives and smokes a cigar, Face-Man dresses as a farmer and cons a local timber merchant out of some lumber, BA gets moody because there are no ethnic people in "T'valley" and Murdoch face-rapes a sheep.
Colombo in Eastenders:
He arrives to investigate how a former New-Romantic idol is now a lothario that bears a striking resemblance to a Kimodo Dragon.
Manimal in Neighbours:
He shows up to do some investigating in a boring plot involving "Stonefish", turns into a chicken and is savaged by Bouncer. Seeking revenge, he mutates into a Tiger and mauls Harold Bishop and then goes back in time to get that one who now makes Memento and LA Confidential.
There's enough scope to go hog-wild with cross-character japes, so why have the script writers stuck to gormless Ian Beale being thwarted in yet-another business deal or squashed-face Ricky being tricked into doing something moronic?

A Predator in Emmerdale is inspired.
A mud-soaked Ahnolt could be lurking in the corner of each shot and background Jesse Ventura being all tough.
And Michael Madsen as Mr Blonde in Eastenders, tying that wrong-faced monster that owns "Well'ard" to a chair and slicing off his enormous ears.

Great idea. I always wondered why they don't have visits in each others soaps by each others characters (the rivalry is stupid, the public are dumb enough to lap it all up anyway).
Anyway I digress, Mike Tyson in Eastenders as an angry man whose stretched Limo is actually a cut and shut job (half Skoda-front, half train carriage at the back) knocked out in Phil's garage: let's see how tough Mr Mitchel is now hey?
I think Emmerdale could also use a Predator to drive up ratings.
In the Bloodpack pub (another cultural reference to boost street cred).
"Something bin worrying ma sheep".
"What 'as"
"a seven foot, Chameleon alien with a laser mounted on it's shoulder".
"Typical, first BSE now this, I blame the French, computer games and that there Ginster rap"
"Don't you mean Gangster?"
"No the rap about pasties, ho ho har har".
*All the patrons in Bloodpack laugh , then an eiree silence envelops as a clicking sound is heard, there's a whiring sound then a red triangle appears on the barkeeps forehead*
Fade to balck.
