Sarah Phelps was the best writer in my opinion.
I think Lorraine Newman needs to get more good writers like Sarah Phelps - but sadly I don't think it will happen
I think she will come back eventually. She's always maintained that her relationship with EastEnders isn't over.
She was asked to write Sean Slater's leaving episode but she had other projects she was working on.

Seems to be a different writer with every episode. :eek:
That happens a lot with EE< they like giving new writers the chance to show what they can do. :rolleyes:
All of them have written episodes for the show before. EastEnders does have the largest writing team (most of them are freelance).
