With Pancake Day in full swing today (Tuesday, February 13), soap fans may be pondering what things they can give up for Lent this year.
It seems that soap characters from EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street could also do with ditching a few things this year too.
Here are some suggestions as to what these soap characters could give up for Lent this year!
EastEnders: Linda Carter – Alcohol
Just before Christmas, Linda started to drink again as she struggled to cope with Dean’s return to Walford.
With Keanu’s death now playing on her mind, Linda’s been in a right drunken state recently.
It’s time for her to give up the booze or she might just let slip that she killed Keanu!
EastEnders: Stacey Slater – Branning men
Stacey has been with not one, not two but THREE Branning men! You’d think she would know better by now!
She’s been with Bradley, Max and now Jack! It’s time for her to move on and broaden her horizons.
EastEnders: Phil Mitchell – Shouting
Phil’s stress levels must be on a permanent high as he’s always shouting. Is he even capable of doing anything else?
He’s always going around demanding money off someone or throwing about threats. Maybe now’s the time to chill out a bit Phil?
Coronation Street: Simon Barlow – Drinking and partying
Simon’s been drinking and partying everyday, waking up with a huge hangover. He’s then been missing shifts at work and has even caused a car accident.
Poor Sam’s life was put at risk due to Simon’s drink driving. Simon needs to get back on track before he follows the same path as Peter!
Coronation Street: Sarah Barlow – Bad boys
It’s unclear what Sarah sees in Damon. She’s always had a thing for bad boys and it’s always got her into a spot of bother.
Ditching the solicitor for a former drug lord was a bad move on Sarah’s part. She needs to get rid of Damon before she gets into trouble again!
Coronation Street: Gemma Winter – Makeup
Gemma’s always loved to layer up with a full face of makeup. However, she’s been sporting that orange foundation for far too long.
She needs to get her hands on some new makeup or ditch it completely! Her skin will thank her!
Coronation Street: Gail Platt – Olives
Die-hard fans will know how much Gail loves her olives. What a strange choice for a favourite food!
Offering those olives out like there’s no tomorrow, Gail should perhaps cut down on how many jars she keeps in her cupboard!
Coronation Street: Jenny Connor – Relationships
Jenny’s never had it easy when it’s come to relationships. Her past partners have usually either been killed off in tragic circumstances or have been the ones doing the killing.
Cupid needs to give Jenny a break so she can have a rest before falling for someone else again!
Coronation Street: Adam Barlow – Vendetta against Damon
Adam used to be a man of principle but now that Damon’s back in Weatherfield and has moved in with Sarah, he’s lost his ways.
