EastEnders needs a new B****

Janine is gone but not forever, however the show needs a new Bitch and it doesn't have to be a woman I hasten to add.

Nikki Spraggan and Donna Yates seem to be contenders but I think Nikki is leaving and Donna has not made any impact yet so who could be the next bitch?

Suzy Branning? - a recasted Suzy could return to bolster the Brannings.

Steven Beale?- Lucy is dead and I really want Cindy Jnr to go so there could be the possibility of Steven returning, does he even know that Lucy is dead?

Bushra- The show has become too white and Bushra could be perfect for this position.

    I agree Nikki could have been turned into one. Donna just comes across as too nasty.

    The best thing about Janine was the scheming and there was often a deep rooted reason behind her behaviour. All the best bitched/villains aren't just nasty for the sake of it, there's a reason from their past, in Janine's case generally her family history.

    They could build something into Nikki's past to explain things. I think Lola for a younger version of Janine could be interesting, her background could easily link to that.

    Sharon's turning into one too but sadly, it looks unlikely she'll kill her partner.

    We need an older bitch. Cast Meera Syal in the role of Masoods sister.

    Sharons been truly awful since she returned this time. She's even worse these days, I wish she'd leave again.

    If Gemma Bissix wasn't such a bad actress I would have suggested bringing back Clare Bates again but I think her last stint ruined the characters potential.

    Suzy may be good but with Shirley and Sharon on screen where would she fit in? there would be no men other than Phil for her to play off.

    Its a shame it looks as though Nikki is leaving. The Spraggans have been a huge wasted opportunity.

    Nikki would be a fantastic bitch. I really hope she stays.

    Suzy Branning was dreadful.

    Can we not turn this into a Sharon bashing thread. I agree with Scrabbler, Meera Syal would be great.

    I actually want Nikki to stay but that is very unlikely now that her family are leaving and so is David/Bianca.

    Suzy Branning would be good :)

    I think TJ may stay on in the show.

    Yeah but the actress has exams. I doubt we will be seeing her much until later in the year.

    With the Spraggan's leaving though maybe the whole storyline has been changed. Who knows.

    Ohh I see she's that age now is she? You're right she'll probably return in September/October time... maybe with the baby? I'm not sure when she is due.

    If she is doing her GCSEs she must be 15/16.

    The baby should be due September I think. I'd be surprised if they don't make a story about it on screen. Plus EE put Mimi up for that soap award so I think that indicates she is staying long term.

    I like the idea of Bushra coming back as Bitchra. I've liked her guest appearances so far. They'd have to write her into a position where she would be interacting with more people than just the Masoods though.

    If Nikki is really going it is such a wasted opportunity. Even with Bianca and Terry going, she could have stayed around to support TJ during the arrival of his new baby while feuding with Carol, causing havoc with the Beales over the new baby and getting her claws into one of the men on the Square (maybe pursuing Mick while going out with Dean thus setting her up for a feud with Shirley). I thought that the recent development of her being moved to check in rather than flight duty was put in place so she could be on the square more often rather than just dropping in and out between flights.

    The thing with Janine though her creation was a long term development we saw her grow from badly behaved child to what she is today, it didn't happen overnight, a super bitch style person has a certain thing about them to make you hate them but sort of like them at the same time, I think it's a hard thing to recreate sometimes cause you all end up with is a annoying bitch that everyone dislikes.

    Is Bushra married?

    This is what will always make Janine British soaps best ever bitch. She didn't come in as a bitch for a few years to cause trouble and then left. Her whole journey to what she became happened in front of our very eyes over a four decade period. That's why Janine was always more than just a typical bitch. She is 3 D with many different layers. I hope she returns again for another stint soon.

    Indeed!

    She's been quiet recently but when those twins are born with tufts of beautiful red hair we'll know that those hole in the corner moments with Max were not just about Stacey and it will set off a chain of events leading to another affair!

    Glenda Mitchell!

    She was a bitch with humour, loved her work.

    Glenda was great and I am surprised that DTC has not brought her back- Glenda had a nice friendship with Carol too- Ronnie and Roxy have unresolved issues with their Mother and I am still shocked that Glenda has no idea that Ronnie has been in Prison.

    Nikki and Donna are bitches in the crap sense, not sure who can take over the status of 'Queen bitch', maybe someone new.
