East Enders - everybody's talking about it

While I was in the shower yesterday my thoughts turned to East Enders.  Don't ask why, my life clearly hasn't got enough of it's own drama...

The last episode I see was the one where Alfie proposes to Roxie.

I was just thinking back on their characters history.

Roxie was married to Alfie's ex wife's cousin, Shaun.  So at one point of their lives, Alfie's ex wife Kat and wife-to-be Roxie, even if it wasn't at the same time, both had the surname 'Slater' and were related by marriage.

I then went on to think that the pub Roxie and Alfie live in was the place Roxie's Dad was murdered by Alfie's ex wives other cousin Stacey... who, also used to be Roxie's sister-in-law...

Roxie's sister also stole Alfie's and his ex wives baby after her son (Roxie's nephew) died and brang him up as her own until the guilt got too much.

Roxie also was in a relationship with Alfie's cousin Michael who also happened to impregnate Alfie's wife at the time with the child that Roxie's sister later stole.

Roxie's Dad also raped Roxie's ex sister-in-law in the pub they live in.

Add to the fact Jean lives with Alfie and Roxie who happens to be Roxie's ex mother-in-law and mother of the woman who murdered her Dad but also Alfie's ex Cousin-in-Laws Mother? ooo errrr

FATAL ATTRACTION RIGHT THERE!

So whenever you think life is unfair just think of all the suffering the fictional people of Walford are going through as well as the fact the life expectancy level for Walford is about 23.  Dot Cotton being the one person that comes to mind that hasn't been killed off a 'Spring Chicken,'
