Soaps are such a bad influence!

They should be promoting correct mask wearing etc but you see the actors walk into a pub/shop and then take their mask off once inside - it should be the other way around! It's like it's part of the act and not real life?!!

It annoys me!

Um, im not sure how to break this to you...

What I mean is - they should be doing it properly for real unless they want Covid!

Haha, I noticed this on Hollyoaks yesterday

It's like what is the point: don't bother wearing the mask then rather than wearing it outdoors then taking it off when you walk into a shop

I suppose they take the mask off, so viewers can hear what they are saying.

Unfortunately, so much a part of real life. Do they bend down to talk through the gap in the perspex screen too? Grin

I've not seen any screens on soaps!

It’s not real. Everyone knows it’s not real. They’ll have to make exceptions when acting so the mics pick up what they are saying. Out of all the things to bother you in the world right now, this is not it. Please step away from your telly 😂

I’m sure they are also covid tested very regularly. So I wouldn’t worry about their health!

It's fake. I would have thought they need to take their masks off to communicate properly and so deaf viewers can lip read?

Plus these people get regular Covid tests.

It was just light hearted, it doesn't bother me! Just annoys me for a few minutes a few times a week!
