Soap characters "immune to their unhealthy living"
Soap characters with unhealthy lifestyles should be shown reaping the consequences, say doctors. Private healthcare firm Bupa has released its top ten unhealthiest characters, arguing they could be used to hammer home health messages. It said heavy smoker Dot Cotton, from EASTENDERS, should appear breathless, with heavy drinkers in soaps having broken veins.
A BBC spokesman said it always tried to depict illnesses accurately.
UNHEALTHY SOAP CHARACTERS
* Dot Cotton, EASTENDERS: Smoker
* Shadrach Dingle, EMMERDALE: Alcohol dependent
* Tyrone Dobbs, CORONATION STREET: Unhealthy diet
* Heather Trott, EASTENDERS: Unhealthy diet
* Louise Summers, Hollyoaks: Alcohol dependent
* Shirley Carter, EASTENDERS: Drinks too much alcohol
* Charlie Slater, EASTENDERS: Unhealthy diet
* Lloyd Mullaney, CORONATION STREET: Unhealthy diet
* Fiz Brown, CORONATION STREET: Unhealthy diet
* Leo Valentine, HOLLYOAKS: Drinks too much alcohol
The survey comes as research at Derby University suggested an average of 17 units of alcohol were down on every episode of EMMERDALE, with a third of its residents potentially classed as "depressed drinkers", according to Department of Health guidelines.
