November 10th 2024.
What a whirlwind week it has been on social media! But amidst the chaos, there is one thing we can always count on: the clever wit of soap fans. These dedicated viewers never fail to find the silver lining in the dark and dramatic storylines. Last week, one fan even went as far as comparing Kim Tate's dinner party to an episode of The Traitors, and we have to say, we wouldn't mind seeing a spin-off of that. The Metro Soaps team has once again scoured the depths of social media to bring you the most hilarious posts inspired by our beloved shows. So, without further ado, let's take a look at the best of the week.
First up, Reddit user lowemorenumbers had a good laugh at poor Bianca Jackson's hostage situation, comparing her being covered with a blanket by killer Reiss Colwell to a budgie in a cage. "POV: you're a budgie in a cage and it's time to go to sleep," they joked. And now, we can't unsee it.
Speaking of Reiss, wonkey_monkey had a clever solution for his financial troubles – selling his central London storage unit instead of smothering his comatose wife, Debbie. But then again, when do soap characters ever make logical decisions?
And who doesn't love a good Aldi dupe? From Professor Peppy instead of Dr Pepper, to Seal bars instead of P-p-p-p-penguins, and even a wine selection with a nod to Kylie Minogue's Neighbours days, X user NeighTweets was pleasantly surprised.
Next, let's talk about Dev Alahan's interesting choice of balloon animal at a children's party. Corrie podcast Talk of the Street had us cracking up with their moment of the week – zero words for that sausage dog balloon model.
Over on TikTok, stacey_towers pointed out that Alfie Moon seems to have forgotten the time his son Tommy was kidnapped for four months. And thanks to Ronnie Mitchell's handy reminder, we can't help but wonder why Kat was so worried about his move next door.
DS Lisa Swain was put on the spot by Kit Green about her involvement in Joel Deering's death, and her daughter Betsy had no problem discussing it at the top of her lungs in front of everyone at Underworld. Swainstreet hilariously shared the iconic GIF of Marge Simpson eavesdropping.
In the spirit of Bonfire Night, X user josephpotkins shared a video of Peggy Mitchell exposing her husband Frank Butcher's affair with his ex-wife Pat Evans in front of The Queen Vic patrons. "Hope you all enjoyed the fireworks! Goodnight!" they joked, taking us back to a classic episode from 2000.
