Stereotypes in Soap Operas

In this clip from EastEnders, there are multiple stereotypes reinforced as it reinforces the British's aggressive nature. It also includes the stereotype of all British people are in the pub drinking and being obnoxiously loud 24/7. These stereotypes aren't exactly incorrect as they contain the slightest hint of truth. The huge fight breaks out through an argument of them making two football teams which also reinforces the stereotypes of football hooligans in the UK. However the stereotype of all British people speak posh is challenged as the people in the video have a very strong east London accent. The stereotype of English people drinking tea all the time is also challenged as all the people in this clip are drinking some sort of beer or cider.
