I noticed this a while back when Audrey did an Ali-G impression and Sarah Lou talked about going to see "Signs", but tonights episode has reminded me of how far it's come on, they're so regular now that it's like watching an episode of Buffy.
Audrey comparing to Deidre to "Deepthroat" took my breath away, and, I know it's not specifically "pop-culture" but Maya saying "mea culpa" made me smile.

And Bethany's middle name is Britney. But Neghbours is the best for that sort of thing. They mentioned Hillary Duff yesterday. And I remember about a year ago Steph randomly asked stuart "What do you think of Shakira?".

Sally mentioned Christina Aguilera ages ago. And Bethany's middle name is Britney. Is it? How pikey can you get? And there's Gail banging on about how much more Nick was worth than Maria. With a niece called Britney? I think not. Karl mentioned Will Young during his heart to heart with Eileen. Still not as funny as when Audrey went: "Shall I stay or do you want me to pop off?"

Bethany was going to have Britney as her first name until Gail and Audrey talked Sarah-Lou out of it. Although hyphenated first names are pretty pikey too, so it was odd they got all holier than thou about it.
I missed this particular moment, but saw it reported in Inside Soap, where Audrey saw Blanche, Deidre, Emily and Rita plotting in the Rovers and said: "Look at them! Like a superannuated Sex and the City."

When Gail was in her dressing gown in the street having a go at Todd, and Jason came round the corner in that yellow hard had and she siad "here comes the rest of the village people", that was quite ingenius.

Last night the writers were working over time.
Ken and Tracy had a conversation about Gary Barlow, Ken and Dierdre got wankered in the Rovers and when Tracy joined them, she compared Hayley to Mrs Doubtfire -- then, brilliantly, Frankie came out with I'm not a violent person!
This is what Eastenders needs.

It's not quite pop-culture but I was quite impressed that they managed to mention the smoking ban here in Ireland a few weeks ago. Liz was harping on about it.
Very on the pulse.

I remember Audrey was saying "Do you really want a daughter with the name of a pop star who no one will no two years time"
Eat Your Words!"
Sarah-Lou was really big on Britney. And we were always treated to "Oops!... I Did It Again" in The Rovers Return.

I'm afraid the 'super-annuated Sex and the City comment' got my mind working overtime, and this is what I came up with. Of course this means Norris is Stanford, but I couldn't find a suitable picture of him to butcher - that added to the fact that both Stanford and Norris have scarily similar dress sense.

I'm surprised that Sarah Jessica Parker needed any photoshopping for that.

I remember Sarah-Lou being lured into meeting the dodgy Peter-from-Brookside-semi-paedophile through long, deep, online conversations about Ash and Badly Drawn Boy:
Sarah-Lou: [types] I like Badly Drawn Boy. My mum doesn't get it. She says it just sounds like the Beatles.
Internet 'boy': [types] Mums. What do they know?
Sarah-Lou: [types] Oh my God, you're the only person who understands me, it's like you've known me my whole life!

Because by then Sarah-Lou had moved on from Britney.
I bet Todd was playing her old Britney tapes whenever she was out the house, mind.
Incidentally, the originalTM (well, I think the second one, but you know what I mean) Tracey Barlow is a DJ in a sci-fi theme bar in Manchester. Her night is called . . .
*Drum roll*
Tracey Barlow plays her tapes

Nasty Barlow said to Ciaran "What's the story in Balamory" I ALWAYS SAY THAT! I use it instead of saying "How are you" or "What's up"

I noticed while going round Ikea, a good 90% of Ciaran's furniture came from Ikea too. How stylish, I say! I say, how stylish!

For the ultimate pop-culture reference, I was quite impressed when, the day after the plane crash in Emmerdale, a character in Corrie (can't remember who, it was a while ago) was seen reading the newspaper, with the headline 'Plane Crash in Yorkshire'
It was very surreal seeing one soap reference the plot in another Soap so directly.
