(apologies if there already is one, i havent looked around much) preferably based around people we know? its essetially the chance to take the piss from a safe distance for others amusement... i'd like to mention that dotty looks alot like Katya from neighbours (check out the character list on the neighbours page fans!) plus i'd personally love it if everyone who did mention a look-a-like could end their post with the following; "you know i've never seen them in the same room together..." however unlikely it is that you and they would be in the same room together! (also, if you did find yourself in the same room with your subjects would you bring it to their attention or would you just sit back and wait for that weird look of recognition to appear on their faces....????? its one of lifes 'big' questions. so yeah dotty and katya! "you know i've never seen them in the same room together..." hey pete/others

Perhaps the soap focuses on the main characters because they are the only ones with the power of communication in a world of mutes?

It must be the longest running mid-life crisis in soap history.

There is only one doctor that can perform every medical procedure in the world. The only exception to this rule is the soap: "Doctors" Everyone else is mad rule. There will always be one person who knows they are right, but no-one else will believe them until it is too late. This will cause the person to go crazy trying to prove they are right, and ultimately end up in ruins. eg Max from neighbours, OB from Oaks Doctor Rule.
