Your Cheating Heart is an index, not a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart: Paul cheats on Laura constantly. In the first episode of the series it was revealed he'd gone "back to front" with a Sporty Spice lookalike and this behavior has only continued as the show's gone on. In the sixth episode of Series 3, Laura believes he's cheating on her again when he says he's been doing pilates at the gym with his new friend Graham. [[spoiler: He's not and Graham backs him up on this. Well... [[ArmouredClosetGay not with who she thinks he is.]] Graham isn't impressed by this act however and (seemingly) ends the affair.]]
** In series 3 we find out that Janet has cheated on her boyfriend Mike with a friend of Paul's.

''Him & Her'' (2010-2013) is a situational comedy which focuses mainly on the main characters, Becky and Steve, dealing with their wacky neighbours, friends and relatives. HilarityEnsues.

The action unfolds in RealTime, and at first never left Steve's (and eventually Becky's) flat. The final series keeps the real time format, but shakes things up by having all five episodes spread across a single day at a new location.

She almost always has or asks for a beer whenever she appears.

* AlphaBitch
** Laura is a post school version of this trope. She's shallow, she's petty and self centred to the point where you want to reach through the screen and strangle her. Her smug attitude doesn't help at all.

Her smug attitude doesn't help at all.
** Becky has
very brief moments consciously trying to be something that she's not; after all, her "clique" consists only of this.

her disinterested older sister and a lonely, middle-aged single mum. Tellingly, she shows extreme deference to Steve's glamorous ex-girlfriend Julie.

Added DiffLines:

* DropInCharacter: The driving force of the show, as everything takes place in Steve and Becky's flat. Typical episodes revolve around their quiet day being disturbed by unannounced visits from friends and relatives.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Retool}}: Episodes in the first three series were set weeks or months apart, and never moved further than a few steps outside the door of the flat. The final series was set across a single day, at Paul and Laura's wedding.
