is it just me?

Or do soap babies seem to dwell in a cot somewhere out of sight and mind, this is across board for all of them.

I know its adult centred , but who looks after these kids, or the tv is on loud whilst a child is stashed away. doesnt sit right with me sets a bad example tbh, its worrying as some people convey this approach to parenting.

I apologise wierd rant

it would be too difficult to have real baby behaviour on screen all the time, the plot would never get anywhere. i think we ar ebetter off using dolls

You're right about weird lol

Surely you don't think they should be permenantly on the hip and written in to every story line?

No I just mean they are never shown as sat playing or anything.

It's because baby's are a bit dull and rubbish at learning lines.

I took all my parenting advice from the Brave and the Beautiful. Twas the only soap available to me in the ME.

Ha Ha I remember Nick Tilsley being in a playpen almost until he started school, used to amuse me.
I also like the way the baby , who is apparently screaming , never moves.

It isn't real life, you do know that dont you?

Having a baby on set is too difficult, if it is not essential to the action. When I have seen babies, lots of times they are babbling away or seem to be reaching out to someone off screen - presumably a parent. Also soaps tend to have lots of screaming and shouting. I think we would all be complaining if babies were regularly on screen when this was happening - after all the baby doesn't know it is pretend.

There are also strict rules about the number of hours young children can work

But I do know what you mean when you say how unrealistic this is.

There are really strict laws over babies on screen. I think little ones can only be on set for 15mins at a time - that's why they always use twins
