Does anyone else look at the interior decorating on Eastenders and cringe?

Yes I know it's a soap, but a tropical palm tree border on leopard print wallpaper is just insane, isn't it?

I do. It's all plain wrong. I thought Pat's influence was to blame, but the horror continues.

It's all so garish to the point that I end up spending a whole episode staring at the walls of the living rooms, ha ha.

Obviously a soap is supposed to be an exaggerated portrayal of life, but really?

It makes me wonder if there really are living rooms like those up and down the country, but maybe I just don't know anyone who decorates that way so it has all gone over my head.

What about Emmerdale or Corrie in fact? The wallpaper in Tyrone's gaff is just nasty.

I always think Tyrone decorated that way as a homage to the Duckworth's

I quite like the feel of Emmerdale. I think it's supposed to represent modern country living. But I've only ever been in the countryside twice in my life so what do I know.
