Peter Beale has GOT to go!
Ben hardy is a terrible actor IMO, and it's very painful to watch aswell! And the character is just terrible! I know he's lost his sister, but he's actually vile to so many people? He sulks and sulks and sulks and never cracks a smile, he's probably the dullest man in Walford, I'm hoping he can leave after the Lucy storyline, his character has been ruined so much! Peter used to be such a nice and caring person!

I totally agree with Lou_123, I find the character completely dull and uninteresting. His acting isn't great either apart from the funeral speech which was very sad.
Pretty much.
Surely an actor should play an accent too, meant to be born and brought up in East London but speaking like the queens butler.
^^^ v true! Which just goes to show how much of a poor actor he is if he can't even out on an accent!
Not as silly as your comment... He's a DREADFUL actor! The funeral speech was good but that's about it! I reckon he's a really hard person to act with aswell, apparently they had to keep redoing the Lucy scenes because ben couldn't get emotional enough...
I think Ben is one of the better actors in the younger cast and certainly of the recent past of young males on the show.
He does need to be written a bit better as Peters thoughtful emotionally intelligent nature has been diluted down way too much.
Totally agree. Since now the actress playing Lauren has now confirmed she is pregnant in real life it would be good if the writers maybe wrote a one night stand into the storyline with Peter. Then when they discover she is pregnant their relationship grows and they end up together - happy. I know that's not a word EE use much. But between the state Ian is in at present it would be great to see an increase in the Beale Family and a happy outcome eventually. Real life takes a while for families to get over a lose.
Brought up in a castle? Seriously? I know so many Londoners who speak like him (and Lucy for that matter). Also, it's hardly aristocratic. I'm from Kent and I speak like that yet I'm not from the upper-classes.
I agree with you there. I was impressed with how Hetti Bywater's acting seriously improved in her final week. I don't think either of the twins should have been killed off, because I think both Lucy and Peter had potential to become EE greats.
But I would've preferred Peter to be killed off.
Matt Di Angelo really is terrible. He looked so awkward in the scenes where Lauren picked out a Shepherds Pie. What was with all the weird face movements?! You would think he had constipation. Even Jac Jossa looked a bit ''wtf are you doing''.
Agreed. And if you listen closely Dean's accent is way off and much posher than Peter's at least Peter has an excuse, his lived in Devon a lot while growing up. Dean's meant to have been born and raised in the East End and he was much more cockney in his first stint and seems to be slipping.
Is there anything about current ee that you do enjoy/like?
Sean Connery got away with using the one accent. Even in The Untouchables when playing an Irish American cop he still spoke with a Scottish accent.
