EE - Is the slow burn effect starting to kill the storytelling?
We've had what seems to be major gaps in storylines/characters being brought to the forefront and then disappears for months on end.
Ronnie has probably had the biggest victim of this, She was barely in it last year and now we nearing the fourth month of 2015 and it's the same thing, I'm aware that the actress had panto and was obligate to film but still why bring her back if we not even gonna benefit from seeing her.
Stacey been a rather supporting character for months now, we had this key business going for a year which was said to be address soon but nothing yet and then Ryan anyone else wondering what the point of his 5 second reappearance was about if that's just it.
The Carters storylines seem to stop and start aswell.
Kathy's return obviously issues with planning but are we really going to be left hanging to September even December for any explanation if reports are true for her return or any development.
Is the slow planning of storylines killing the storytelling of the show.
Thoughts?

The Kathy reveal has gone nowhere.
Vincent has disappeared
Dean has disappeared.
Ronnie is still in a coma.
To cap it all Phil cooked up a lovely looking meal for everyone and nobody ate it!!!!
Shocking
I think you have to have a good balance between the two and currently for my personal taste its ALL to bloody slow all round. I get more frustrated with the EE than enjoyment which is ruining my viewing.
Please, make it stop!!
Very true.
DTC needs to listen to the fans and stop playing out storylines slowly!
Exactly, ok understandble this was when the 30th was going on, but the aftermath stinks.
Yes that was shocking and rude leaving a load of plate full of food uneaten, wasteful!
Couldn't agree more, it be fine if they had supporting storylines running along side it but there not been much that is worth mentioning, the pacing is too slow.
No, although DTC said it would be.
Ryan pops up, Buster pops up, Vincent pops up, Kathy pops up, Claudette pops up. Then there is, as you say, Ronnie, and Dean both MIA.
Add to that stuff that comes out of the blue...Phil chucking around money, Cindy giving up on Beth, Martin going broke and Massood turning back into a hypocritical gambler. Is he still after the Argee Bargee or just having a mid life crisis.
There's a big difference between a bit of suspense and frustrating the life out of the viewers.
No doubt we'll get some answers one day, I just hope I live to see them.:(
They've just come out of a week of live episodes.
The Kathy reveal doesn't need to go anywhere until later in the year, it was just a nice shock/surprise for the audience in the live.
Just because a character isn't seen for a week or two doesn't mean they're being underused or they've disappeared.
I think it goes back even further,
As for Ronnie...who's running her business and why don't we see Charlie working with Max anymore. I thought that was a permanent arrangement.
Wasn't Aleks planning to propose to Roxy? That's been forgotten about.
Exactly!!!
Ryan - Will he ever do more than that peep from behind the bushes? Was there even any further details provided about Ryan?
I honestly don't GET any of the stories that have provided Martin, Cindy and Masood with personality transplants!!! Cindy was made out to be maternal in the Who killed Lucy reveal but now she has had a change of heart WTF?
If DTC does the cliché thing and have Alfie or Billy win the scratch card money I will give up on EE for life!!!
Agreed. I love Denise. I was hoping we were going to explore her alcohol dependency more but it seems to have stopped before it properly started.
I've even turned back to Hollyoaks, because despite some of the shocking writing and characterisation, at least things happen quickly. :O
It's frustrating me. Ronnie should have been back ages ago and there's so many other characters that just go missing for weeks on end.
I'm sick of characters returning or new characters being introduced and then not being seen for ages, such as nuMartin, Vincent, Kathy, Ryan (what on earth was the point of his 5 second return?!), and that's only naming a few.
There's also so many storylines that haven't been explained or have just stopped.
EE really need to sort it out. Everyone seems to love DTC on here, but I'm not really feeling it at the moment.
Agreed. He's going downhill fast.
I agree.
