Are they the most annoying family or what? Or is it cos whenever a new family comes onto a soap I don't like them for a while anyway? I hated the Battersby's, Slaters, etc but this lot have to be the dullest.

They can't act - someone please tell me what Tariq is saying, he just mumbles, and the others are as wooden as whole trees.

No its not cos I'm racist before you jump on me either. And where has Dan gone? It's weird how when something devastating happens to a family, how their mums, dads or other family members never turn up!! But that's a whole other thread.

I was hoping they'd have settled in by now and I'd like them but I don't.

I know Mickey isn't part of their family but he's annoying as well.

Enough already - they all have to go.

Now, I might be wrong with this, but I'm pretty sure that the actor who plays Dan had his work permit revoked, and I think that is why he is absent while he gets his work permit re-issued...

TOTALLY AGREE

I hate the fereras too.

The whole storyline is so soap-opera "cliche". The long lost brother, the secret affair and a brother who needs a transplant or he will die!

ee is so boring at the moment! the whole sharron & sam nightclub thing is so painfully slow!

when will they think of writing somthing interesting?

I like the Ferreira's!

I think they're good, and entertaining.

I do think the big hospital scene has come a bit out of the blue and that the parents can't be contacted is a bit unbelivable - but the characters and acting is good.

I think that the parents not being around is purely because the writers/directors want to have another 'dud dud darr!!' sceen when Dan finds out about Taric which will drag it on too much.

Once its all in the open I think the family will get some better/more interesting scenes again.

I can't stand any of them, they are the most annoying, pitiful - self-centered bunch i have come across in ANY soap.

All of them sucking up to Tariq WHEN they should be eternally grateful, Ash saying he makes his skin crawl!, Jesus he should take a look in the Mirror the self centered git!

As for Adi what a waste of space, threatened by his own Dad and abused across the years yet he still lives at home, what a sad man, and he says Tariq makes his skin crawl, he should wake up and smell the roses the muppet!

I sincerely hope Ash's gambling problems escalates and it costs them all plenty.

okay then which one of them are you, Or are you a new member of the family that we havent seen on tv yet. They are without doubt the worst thing ever to happen to EE. And truth be told they have had some absolute s***e on EE at times but nothing as bad as the Ferrera family, an insult to Asians everywhere

I can't stand them. I prefered the Di Marco's. I think they only brought them into be the shows token Asians, but they just don't work. For example why do they allow their father to bully them the way he does. Their not little kids. Ash must be around 30 and Addy in his late 20's. Yet they both allow Dan to walk over them and boss them about. Why the hell don't they just leave home?

They've had Asians before who were much better. Remember way back at the start when they had Sanjay and Geeta and Sue and Ali? They were more realistic and better actors.

The Sue and Ali storylines were fantastic and having a mixed race marriage was more realistic too. They were family orientated as Asians tend to be but they did have seperate homes and lives to an extent.

I think in general Eastenders has really taken a slide quality-wise recently.

In fact, I've barely watched it since the idiotic "let's make Little Mo a rape victim again just for the hell of it".

If it's the whole episode involving the Ferrera's I turn it over or off.

Thank god some one agrees with me, i cant stand the. At first i thought Spencer was bad.........but ever since these pricks have entered the programme they have made Spencer more berable.......which in itself is an achievement!

However for goodness sakes could EE get rid of these hopeless ungreatful *****!

Oops - happy to be corrected.

But they still seemed to have better scriptwriters before.

I watched the omnibus today for the first time since Xmas and can't believe how bad Eastenders is now. It made me realise how I drifted from watching it in the first place. Compared to Corrie it is just dreadful. Emmerdale can be a bit ludicrous at times but it is far more entertaining than Eastenders right now. I don't think I will be watching Eastenders again for a long time.

Eastenders isn't a patch on Corrie these days. Its almost like the EE scripwriters have run out of ideas. And Its totally unrealistic, I mean houses are hugely expensive in London even in the East End yet Charlie Slater the cabbie manges to afford a nice house. In real life he would be living in a tower block or something.

The problem with EE is the sour faced slaters, there a disgrace and never happy. Why do the scripwriters keep giving them such dreary storylines?
It's just one thing after another with the slaters and why the f**k do they spend all there time down the boozer when there so ''poor''.
Why is little mo always nervous when she is talking? this has to be the second most annoying thing in EE history behind hugh & lenny. Example of little mo's nervousness ''oooooohoooooh billy''

Why is kate slater orange?
Why isn't old mo in prison?
Why do they have mini orgasms when there eating fish & chips?

I say kill charlie slataar and bring in a rich and succesful slater who smiles.

i personally like it when belinda shows up for some family event and spends her entire visit slagging them off for being common. bring her on full time, i want to see someone skilled at making kat twist up her bloaty orange face when she doesn't get her way.

Turkey is both in Europe and Asia, the vast majority being in Asia. The bit to the west of the channel into the Black Sea is in Europe.
