She is the only one left that's been here 8 years and had NOTHING!!!

Jay had stuff before. as well as Ben, Lauren got stuff, Tanya had stuff, Max got stuff, how come its only her that doesn't get stuff?

What is wrong with her? Does she not have Meetings with DTC about storylines?

Lorna: Please Sir, can I have some more!
DTC: WHAT! WHAT!! WHAT!!!


That's what its probably been like for the last 8 years haha!

    She got her turn in 2013 when she appeared in the second most episodes of the entire year.

    While Abi hasn't had major storylines, she has really grown as a character over the last 3/4 years.

    She spent most of 2011-2013 answering the door every episode so she's still recuperating.

    Absolutely can not stand the character of Abi, and Lorna is a terrible actress, so I can see why she hasn't had many storylines... She brings NOTHING to the show IMO, other than a poor representation of East London exam results, after failing hers about 10,000 times...

    I agree! She's nothing but a bad smell!

    She worked as a child, but it's time to move on now. She needs to be written out and be brought back with Jo Joyner when she returns as Tanya.

    They could do a story line where Max finally realises shes not actually attended any exams or lessons for the last 3 years and has actually been sitting on a park bench talking to an imaginary friend called Clifford about her horrible family.

    :D I don't want to be mean about her but her character is behind awful now! It's a shame people do fail their exam results, but that's literally all the character ever does! Some people may be like that, but we don't want to see it on a EastEnders!

    I'm indifferent to her to be honest but she's the least selfish Branning and I thought she came to life when she confronted Max about Lucy.

    This. Just...this. So true, it is distracting. A bit like Lacy Turner always pulling a confused face in her scenes and Tish Dean's eyeballs having a mind of their own!:o:D^_^

    But the difference is, these two are strong characters!

    Maybe when young Abi was a sleep. her Guinness pig crawled in her mouth!

    Abi has got better, I use to hate her moaning snorting mumbling all the time and bringing Jay down, she's not so bad these days.

    Of course. Abi is sort of a non character. Ha! I think you might be on to something!

    I think she need to have at least one main story ,

    I don't think she had her chance to sink her teeth into ianything

    If I was DTC I would give her bullying story line , they can bully about her failing the exams.

    But then I would judge her that main story!

    The girl that play cindy jr , I did not think she was that good until the birth eps, I thought she was great

    Abi is the best character on the show, in my opinion. Unfortunately, she's just one of quite a few who gets sidelined every single time just so the same characters can get shoved down our throats time and time again.

    She didn't feature in most episodes due to a heavy, central storyline, though. Her appearances consisted of her being a support character/background character/filler character. Can you name anything of note she did in 2013? As a big fan of hers, I can't think of anything, except for this episode:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBN2-sLnXaM

    She's been there eight years and since around 2011, she's been developing nicely (albeit slowly)... Three years on and there's still no big storyline for her. Time for the producers to step up and give her some decent material now.

    Best character? She giggles and snorts her way through her lines. How does that make her the best character?
