Can they please write in this woman a man.
She is lovely, but her constant quest for a kiss is very annoying.

[Deleted User] · 02/01/09 - 19:28

Haha.
Yes, I think the exact same!

[Deleted User] · 02/01/09 - 19:29

Would you?

Bonny1 · 02/01/09 - 19:33

I think, the way, this character is treated, is disgusting.

There are plenty of obese people all over the world, in relationships. She's overweight, not carrying the plague...

it's lazy, poor and pathetic stereotyping, by Eastenders writers.

Get it sorted Eastenders, pleeeeease, give this lovely woman, a proper solid caring relationship, they do exist you know....

Neighbours_Fan · 02/01/09 - 19:36

^ Exactly.

[Deleted User] · 02/01/09 - 19:41

I really don't think Heather having any kind of relationship with a man is suitible for pre-watershed TV.

[Deleted User] · 02/01/09 - 19:44

I can't stand the character. The sooner she is written out the better.

I agree. She is overweight but that is not the problem, its the fact that the writers firstly gave her the name Trott (perfect for pigs trotters jokes), and just make her out to be so damn stupid all the time. Its not even in a funny way, she actually comes across as a bit backward half the time.

She is a grown women who dresses like an 8 year old going to a party and she is portrayed as being obsessed with cheese and gorging on food.

Eastenders writers seem to think that fat = thick.

[Deleted User] · 02/01/09 - 19:47

Yeah, it would be nice to see her have some kind of genuine love interest, even if it was just for a little while. They got round to giving someone to Charlie and Jean Slater and Gus Smith and it would be nice just to see her happy.

Bonny1 · 02/01/09 - 23:27

I wish they'd toughen her up a bit too, I mean she's scary birds bezzy mate, surely some of that hard core prossie toughnes would have rubbed off on her by now..

aaarrggghhhh

Sez_babe · 02/01/09 - 23:41

I would love to see her with someone but I like her and Shirley as a pair of singletons

Or a woman...lol

Arcane2 · 02/01/09 - 23:50

I'll have her just no kissing or eye contact.

[Deleted User] · 02/01/09 - 23:51

I know Heather's a bit of a stereotype but the show does need some light (maybe not the right word

), comic characters.. I think she's a great foil for Shirley and is fairly likeable personality-wise.

But Heather should not be a comic character. She acts like a whiny, naive 6 year old, and whilst that is very annoying there is a reason for it. She was abused as a kid and her 'funny' personality is the result. I don't find it amusing.

She's clearly also a compulsive overeater. People who are just greedy do tend to have enough self control to not eat ice cream out of the supermarket freezer with their credit card.

She's not funny, she's just kind of depressing.

And I would say that she was a stereotype, if it wasn't for all EEs fat characters who aren't like Heather.

No, screw it. She's a stereotype.

[Deleted User] · 03/01/09 - 14:59

OK - she's overweight but she's still not Bubbles Devere from Little Britain :eek:

I find her character one of the more interesting ones in Enders at the moment. Especially her friendship with Shirley ...

Arcane2 · 03/01/09 - 15:10

Heather should be able to find someone, there's plenty of chubby chasers about.

RodriguezMan267 · 03/01/09 - 15:16

I hoping Heather finds love this year. She's a nice enough woman.

Yes but they don't all act like a retarded, boulimic child!!

SULLA · 03/01/09 - 15:51

I don't dislike her, but I totally loath her chum Shirley.

Heather's behaviour in the pub on new years day was both desperate and nauseous

It really creeped me out.

This sums up my view of her character completely. I can't stand her and her constant immature nature. She makes Abi Branning look grown up!

Super Frog · 03/01/09 - 16:36

I like Heather and hope she gets more storylines this year that don't involve her trying to pull men. She's a nice break from everybody walking around sighing all the time imo.

pinkbellybutton · 03/01/09 - 19:02

The reason Heather is that way is the way her mother treated her, and has kept her in a sort of child like state. She doesn't really know how interact with men, which is why she can't find one. She's probably latched onto to Shirley because Shirley is a dominant tough type, and although she can be snipy with Heather she is still a protector figure. The problem is I don't really think they've shown enough of her background. They showed her mum being a royal pain in the arse on a few occassions, but nothing that really makes her life experience so far clear. I think she's sweet, but unfortunately she does come off as the butt of a joke sometimes

Looks have nothing to do with why she doesn't have a man, there have been bigger women than her with men, who aren't always chubby chasers. Some people are actually attracted who a person is not what they look like.

Kyle123 · 03/01/09 - 19:05

I think Heather is great.

I hope she can find her true love, but I think whenever the actress decides to leave or is axed, Heath will get her happy ending.

Part of me doesnt want to see anything get between her and Shirl though cos they are a great duo!

Heather does annoy me, but I totally agree with everything mentioned above.
