Soapland’s love scenes have taken on a strange look. Because of social distancing, characters cannot be seen to be frantically ripping off each other’s clothes, jumping into bed, kissing, or any other variant of what they used to do in the old days.
Corrie’s Alina and Tyrone have fallen in love behind closed doors; EastEnders’ Kat and Phil managed several unseen romps behind car bonnets in the garage; Emmerdale’s Jamie was able to get Gabby pregnant simply by looking at her from the other side of a farmhouse kitchen.
Will we ever see a return to the old days, with Corrie’s Ken romping on a houseboat or EastEnders’ Phil and Mel delighting in each other’s company on a table (well, it was Christmas)?
