If you have not got it by now you will if you watch enough of Eastenders.
Is there ever any happy endings? I cannot think of one.

Well, think of two instead, then you need not confuse yourself by using
"Is" instead of "Are". :-)

You can always tell when there's a happy ending when you get soft, cuddly
signature tune music fading in at the end of an episode instead of the
"doob, doob, doob, doobadoobadooba" drum riff. Such episodes, are,
admittedly, about as rare as rocking-horse manure, it must be said. I think
there was one when Jamie and Sonia decided to get hitched a couple of weeks
back. I would class that as "sick" rather than "happy" though.

Happiness, as they say, writes white.
And another problem with happiness in EE is that
they can't do it well. Tom and Sharon's current
"happy and delirious" mode is unconfortable to watch,
almost embarassing. Not that the acting is any worse
than usual, but it just doesn't sit well on those characters.
And that's why we have the hilarity-ensued briagde: Barry,
"Ricky", As If and Martin.

P.S. Barry - worst "dramatic" actor ever?? Not bad at comedy
though. If you like that kind of thing.

Until Christmas, if the spoilers are correct.

Not at all. I'm glad you take in good part, unlike other oversensitive
souls in this NG I could mention.

Not you, Dawn. I can tell by the way you handle those DRTs you're not the
sensitive type. :-)

As a colleague commafucker though I would say that it's often better to
restrain yourself :-)

Take Dawn, for instance. I'm absolutely convinced she's terribly well
educated. Simply an attention seeker, in my opinion.

Ouch.

Erm, if I says I'm well educatid that means I have to admit to being
attention seeking doesn't it? On the other hand, If I disagree, then I'm
saying I'm a bit thick. Oh dear, I feel a dilemma coming on.....
