Hi all,
Firstly I'd like to introduce myself, I've grown up watching soaps, particularly Eastenders and am an avid lover of all of them. In order to quell my need for spoilers I stumbled upon DigitalSpy, and then the forums. I've actually been lurking on here for about seven months, too afraid to post anything
but I'm ready to jump in!
Now the introductions are over...
I'm finding this Ronnie/Charlie/Roxy love triangle quite difficult, not because I dislike the affair but because I believe that it undermines all of Roxy's growth and character development. I actually much prefer the Roxy/Charlie pairing, I remember some time last year long before the one night stand thinking that they had a great chemistry. I believe that as long as Ronnie has baby Matthew she will be alright, I just hate the fact that Roxy would continuously do this to her sister. I think that her character deserves more credit now, and that the writers have let her down.
What do you all think?

Roxy hasn't been throwing herself at Charlie, in fact quite the opposite, he's doing all the chasing.
Welcome BTW.:)
Charlie & Roxy = Great chemistry
Welcome Op.☺
Also really have gone off Charlie now. All that fuss that he loved Ronnie last year!
I don't think this is out of character for Roxy though.
No it's very Roxy but i thought they had developed her character better than that. 😠
I despise Roxy and Charlie now. They deserve each other!!
It is in no way less baggage being with Roxy. He will always of had a kid with her sister and at no point could it end happy for them.
I do not have one bit of sympathy for them. Even if it was some sort of true love and they just could not live without each other, which is crap they should not have dragged Alex along with them. Could possibly understand with Ronnie being in the hospital but with Alex it just shows how selfish they really are. The fact that Alex has been shown as the primary carer for both of there children while they are together is disgusting.
It is making me really dislike two characters that where among my favorites.
It just does not make one bit of sense to me. It is like i am being told of their feelings rather than shown them. They practically lived together for months with no feelings involved and no hint of anything more. They then slept together once apparently due to grief and then they have this great connection, no not buying it.
I just do not see any chemistry. The fact they even got together was due to Ronnie. It also sucks for the character of Roxy who has very much become a complete nothing of a character. The only time she has a story involves Ronnie. She has not friends, no job, is a crap mother and even things like her other family she is very much just another Billy.
Same actually goes for Charlie to an extent if you take away Dot. While Ronnie will hopefully have stories involved in her becoming a mother, her recovery, connection with Vincent and her relationship with Phil after new year, I just do not see what kind of story particularly Roxy can have without Ronnie.
To begin with I hoped that Ronnie would wake up and try and get even with them without them knowing she knew but then I thought of what could actually happen. What could she really take away from them. The characters have been written into a corner. Know I just want her as far away from them as possible. There is much more interesting things to be shown.
So I did not mean to write so much there but if they are going to give characters limited scream time they should at least put work into making it believable.
I absolutely love Aleks and really wanted to get behind him and Roxy together but they had zero chemistry in comparison to Roxy and Charlie I think, which is a shame, if they worked better together maybe he wouldn't be leaving.
However, after the admittedly rushed pairing with Ronnie and the whole getting us to root for them thing, when I see Roxy and Charlie together now, all I can think is... 'king hell, here we go again.
I don't understand why they made all the fuss about Charlie and Ronnie, making them out to be this great long-term couple and getting them married, when he was just going to get with Roxy a few months down the line?
It's making me despise both Charlie and Roxy and I really loved Charlie at the beginning.
It's an awful storyline - one of DTC's worst - and I really hope they realise their mistake and it's over soon.
problem is they can't press the reset button which means Ronnie and Charlie are over. A waste of 6 months in 2014 down the toilet.
I agree with the poster that said Charlie and Roxy have been written into corner. Roxy will survive the chop because she as for so long but I can see Charlie axed sooner or later.
Also, Roxy and Sharon looked more like sisters tonight with their awful hair extension!
I agree, it's like groundhog day, very tedious...roxy will be pregnant soon no doubt...with yet another who's the dad scenarios
And how cruel to sh*g your comatose wife's sister
I agree with this completely..
I know, it's a shame it's ruined Charlie and Ronnie because I thought they were a really great couple.
As long as Charlie doesn't end up with Roxy, I think he could survive the chop. I think him and Roxy staying together long term would destroy his character though.
It always surprises me that DTC is doing this to Ronnie and Roxy again when he created the characters.
I had high hopes for both characters when DTC became executive producer, but I'm really not impressed.
