EE Why do all the EP's have no interest in Roxy?
Since Santer left, all of the EP's have had literally no interest in Roxy. Why?
Under Santer, she was by far my favorite character. It was her and Ronnie that actually got me in to the show. She's such a fantastic character. She's fun and amusing, yet she still has so much potential to carry out dramatic material. But NONE of the EP's since Santer left have any interest in her.
I mean her last actual SL was her pregnancy in 2008! Since then, they've kept her off screen for the majority of the time, in Ronnie's shadow. They only ever use her if they need her for some plot. Like the Kat/Alfie/Roxy love triangle. They just needed someone to fill the position Roxy was in to try and make the audience root for Kat and Alfie.
She's such a good character, but the EP's seem adamant not to invest in her. I mean during DTC's interview, when he was listing all the characters who had big SL's coming up, I was amazed Roxy wasn't on there! The majority of the audience can't warm to her at all because they refuse to engage in her character and portray the depth to her on screen. She's irrelevant and it's so annoying because she deserves so much better! Bring Roxy to the front of the show!

We may not like all these characters, but they are arguably the most important and prominent female characters in the show since the new millennium. Bearing in mind the amount of screen-time and storylines they were involved in over the years.
Whilst Ronnie was out of it 2011,2012 and 2013 she was pointless
Completely agree.
The last storyline of her own she had, was just after Ronnie left when she and Jack had a custody battle over Amy.
She was really interesting when she was the only person who believed Jean when she was being conned by Michael. I liked that relationship she developed with Jean.
LOL that means nothing they put Alfie in the Vic:o:D
Yeah but regardless of what you or I may think of him he is a very popular character. I'm not exactly sure how or why but he is. My main point though was that if they didn't value Roxy they wouldn't have made her landlady.
And that wasn't even much of a SL. I barely remember any of it other than Roxy getting drunk and leaving Amy somewhere.
I agree with her relationship with Jean.
well its a bit late now they should have done it over the years, what would be the point of addressing what Archie did now??? It came out years ago.
she not interesting, shes not got the tragic backstory that Sharon, Kat and Ronnie do, shes not the sort of character that people would want at the fore front, she the character thats good for other peoples sl.
And everyone goes on about Denise getting no SL's, well look at Roxy! Denise had a huge SL in 2010, and is currently in a relationship with Ian which has been given quite a lot of screen time towards. I know people could argue that Denise in her relationship with Ian is the same as Roxy in her relationship with Alfie but I disagree. They've given Ian and Denise a much fairer chance. They gave little scenes of Roxy and Alfie that made us able to root for them, and sympathize with Roxy. They were desperate to portray Roxy as the villain. They've given Ian and Denise much more screen time and made them much more likable.
actually shes in a sl now where her sisters a crazy obsessive killer, isnt that big enough for you??
And I disagree. Maybe Ronnie and Kat, but Sharon? Sorry but I find it much more 'tragic' that a girl who had such a special connection with her father all her life discovered he was actually a sick, evil rapist years later that raped her own SISTER rather than a girl who had crappy parents that divorced. I'm not saying Sharon's backstory wasn't tragic, but Roxy's was much worse. And you say that now but that's only because she hasn't been given good material for so long. In 2007-2008 she was quite central and I remember her being very popular!
er quite a lot actually shes the reason behind Ronnies Motivation.
and she plays a part in other peoples sl, because thats what her character is good for nothing else. and tbh thats nothing to sneer at, they need characters like this, theres nothing wrong with it, Some characters with potential never get used at all, cough Esther in HO cough.
She does tend to play second fiddle to Ronnie and Kat though, it's true.
Liking the idea of a lesbian sisters SL scenario between her and Ronnie though LOL.
And that's a very small minded way of looking at it. She's like that now, yes. But with the right material she could easily carry her own SL. Esther in HO had a huge SL throughout 2012-2013. Yes she's underused now but her potential has been used over the years more than Roxy's ever has.
Slightly premature I know - but congratulations on your up-coming 3K posts, OP.
Ok fair enough.
Roxy doesn't suit the "villain" character, though.
Still quite a big SL to be involved in and as far as I can see Roxy has a lot of regular screen time though it's true no major stories of her own, it's true.
