The closure of stories is not the best in eastenders at the moment
I notice there seems to be very lazy writing under the current eastenders producer.
Lucy to quickly move things on will suddenly sleep with anything just to build up some suspects.
The Stacey merry go round was very lazy as well
A lot of stories are just hanging.
I do feel this mainly due to the cast of thousands where many are just sitting there

Agree about Lucy, the build up to her death hasn't impressed me it's all happening to fast without any explanation of why Lucy is behaving like Kat.
Nancy's epilepsy, and 'thing' with Dexter was dropped.
The entire Kat/Alfie mess was left unresolved. What does Alfie do for work now
Masood's breakdown, Tamwar's depression have seemingly been dropped.
It's not like Nancy's epilepsy was dropped; she's got the condition and it was introduced... and presumably put on the back burner for later on.
It's like David Platt in Coronation Street.
There was the storyline where he had his fit(s) and the condition was diagnosed; then we saw it on screen again last year (?) when he collapsed in the park when he was out with Lily and Max.
I don't wish to offend anybody as I'm extremely clueless on the subject but I'm guessing taking the medication means relapses are few and far between?
I liked drunk Masood, they should have explored it more.
The biggest thing for me though is the Lucy/Max thing. It's so unbelievable. Both actors look like they are almost refusing to even "act" it! Has anyone noticed Max has next to no lines? Lucy talks to him and he just stares at her like he'd rather be anywhere than listening to her. Where's his voice hiding?
I do agree with that.
Also Sharon's 5 minute Phil forgiveness. I assume there's more to come but the reveal was done in 2 episodes!
This is what I feel has left EastEnders feeling a bit incomplete to what it should be.
The potential is there, it just isn't being executed and explored properly.
I'd have loved them to have taken Masood down a darker path for much longer. It was very interesting!
I'm a massive fan of Stacey's character, but her return was admittedly dragged FAR too long and got a little bit messy with the back and forth-ness of it, but I can understand the situation DTC was in because Janine was in prison. I don't think it excuses the return story though to clear Stacey's name. It could have been done more quickly and not have been sort of, a tangled mess. We're through it now I suppose and I can't wait for Stacey's return.
Is she playing him??? She was going to have 100% of the business but as always King Philth managed to stop that apart from that it's as if she is fine with it.
I really hope that's the long game for Sharon. If not I'll climb through the telly and slap her myself!
While new stories each week do keep the show feeling fresh, there's also the danger of viewers losing track of plots if there's too long a gap between them being developed. As someone pointed out, we don't know how Alfie is making money now. Also, how is Jake paying his rent now that he's jobless too. Where is Cora and Dexter? Why haven't Carl's family come back yet? Did Nikki go on a long haul flight and forget to reboard for the return leg of the journey? Maybe they're all hanging out in the R&R with Mo.
I cant see how she is going to fleece him he's hardly going to sign his other businesses over to her is he.
Do something dodgy with the books and take chunks of cash out of the business, putting it in a secret personal bank account? Then sell her half to someone he hates or threaten to dob him into the police for covering up Carl's murder if he doesn't sign over his half?
I'm presuming that something might go wrong between Mas and Jane to send him on the dark path again, or it happens when he discovers Shabnam's secret, so I'm not surprised that that has taken a back seat.
With Nancy's epilepsy also, we know that she wanted to go into the army but that the epilepsy prevented her from doing so. I'm guessing it'll be brought back up when she discovers that Lee doesn't want to go back.
The only thing wrong with Carol's S/L - I believe she had her gene test done on the NHS and Sonia and Bianca's was done privately. Yet both sets of results took about the same time to come back.
Surprising that Nikki hasn't been texting David to threaten to spill the beans or anything like that. He deleted her number but we didn't see him block the number.
They will be, the actor said that Masood won't just get over it overnight. It will be picked up again in the near future.
