Has anyone else noticed that food and drink is never finished in Neighbours? Every episode there are scenes where people are talking with a drink in front of them, but they always seem to leave with the drink left nearly full. If it only happened occasionally I could understand it, but it happens all the time. It's got so that I'm sitting there thinking 'go on, go on finish the drink or the salad - you can do it!', but it never happens. Is this an Australian thing? It would really make my day to see someone finishing their meal or juice! (sad, I know!)

The wonderful world of soaps, no one ever eats or sleeps, we may hear about it every now and again but never really experience it. I will admit to watching them, but I had never noticed that particular point. The only other thing that I find amazing in soaps is their recovery time, open heart surgery two days and he is fine. Been shot, stabbed or injured in an accident give it a week and be right as rain. I know they can't realistically portray recovery times which can take months or even years but it still gets to me. That and the miracle cures, in particular in US soaps - long running soaps - they will get shot/etc and be in a wheelchair for a few weeks maybe a month or two, have a full recovery and then not even have a limp or scar. Well most of these shows require the suspension of disbelief but even that is not enough.

That is a very good point! I saw a meal being finished in Neighbours 2 days ago - I'm pretty sure it was the first time. If I didnt know they recorded it months ago I'd think someone saw my comment!
another thing in soaps is that nobody watches the telly. they're all down the pub getting wrecked!

Is it the same in all soaps though? I have seen them watching telly in Neighbours - they only seem to do that if their sitting with a cushion on their lap!

I avoid all thoses soaps for the very reason that everyone is always fighting - I don't find that entertaining. Neighbours is very bland and unreal, so it doesnt make me angry - just puzzled about the number of unfinished meals and drinks! Still - imagine how exciting it will be when someone eventually does manage to leave with a cleaned plate or an empty glass!
