Soap opera love storylines not realistic 31 December 2008
Despite claims by programme makers to the contrary, it seems that soap operas are not a true reflection of real life, at least as far as love, and marriage are concerned.
Femalefirst.co.uk reported on the glut of soap opera weddings that have taken place over the festive season, which according to research from Ecclesiastical is unrepresentative of real life romance.
Characters from Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale will all be busy pledging their undying love to one another over the festive season
.
However, it seems that fictional characters are much more likely to tie the knot at this time of the year than the general public.
According to the research, some 13 per cent of weddings take place in TV soap operas between Christmas and New Year, which compares to just seven per cent in real life.
It seems – thankfully – that the divorce rate is much higher in the land of soap operas as well. No doubt in a bid to get ratings, the divorce rate for TV soaps is as high as 39 per cent, this is compared to just six to ten per cent in reality.
Commenting on the discrepancy between real life and the world as depicted in soap operas, Darren Mabley-Jones of Ecclesiastical, said: "The TV soaps are very keen on festive matrimony - much more so than the real world - but they also present a pretty grim view.
"The reality is that the chances of calling off your wedding are far lower; and indeed the chances that you'll stay together are much higher."
Mr Mabley-Jones conceded that there were risks associated with winter weddings but they were much more likely to be related to more mundane matters such as poor weather conditions and pipes bursting in wedding venues.
Actress Billie Piper enjoyed a winter wedding when she married fellow actor Laurence Fox, son of James Fox, on December 31st 2007 at a church in Eastbourne.
