On the BBC soap, where he plays recently resurrected Dirty Den, he added: "There are things wrong with the show, I think everyone knows that...I would like EastEnders to be better."


Oi Leslie you half rate overpaid actor perhaps if you go back to panto things may improve!

He might have a point though. They could do a hell of a lot better, I think. The Ferreira family ...what is all that about? They just seem to have no direction at all...either get rid, or give em something to do. Maybe the father going away wasn't anticipated, but there's definitely something wrong with that whole story line.

Alfie and Kat...nice bit of light relief in the lead up to weddings, but since then, its just been daft...why would Alfie go to Andy to borrow money? Bad enough that he is a gangster, but THE gangster that Kat jilted for Andy. Is Alfie supposed to be the most stupid man in the world?

Sharon and Denis...pretty gripping so far, but if rumours prove correct, it's going to fizzle out with Dennis choosing Den/Vicki/Sharon package, over Sharon alone. And it makes no sense in the light of the conversation in the Vic between Den and Dennis. Perhaps Dennis is the most stupid man in the world, if he believes Den now wants to play happy families.

Janine Barry Paul Natalie story has finished now, it seems...perhaps not, but if it has, it's a little abrupt, isn't it.

Ian and Kate...I just don't believe it...sorry.

So much of what happens seems so unlikely...I'll tolerate a bit of that, but you can't have characters doing total u turns all of the time.

And so say all of us I totally agree with ye. No way Kate who loved Phil Mitchell would be into Ian Beale. The Paul Janine Natalie Pat thing has ended for now. But Janinie's comeuppance is coming up shortly. So it will become the Janine, Laura, Pat story. I think the whole lot of Ferreira family should be axed, they've been a disaster from start to finish. The Sharon/Dennis thing could be a good storyline but as you say if rumours are to be believed.

Dirty Den should never ever have been resurrected as he's done absoloutely nothing for the show since he came back. Ok his return was gripping to watch but I think in the end, they should have stuck to a more realistic outcome, like Den dodging Dalton's men for months on end, then thinking he was in the clear, boom, killed in a carbomb or something like that.

Sharon had some good storylines before Dennis, Vicki and Den all came back. I think she should be given something outside of the Watts. I think the big thing thats wrong with EastEnders at the moment, all the characters are in their litle boxes and only seem to interact with the one set of characters all the time.

Yep! But you've got to remember this is eastenders, where storylines aren't supposed to make sense and where, naturally you go to your wife's gangster ex-fiance to borrow money for your father-in-law, who wasn't even grateful anyway. Never mind that your sister in law (Belinda) is rich and they could have got a loan off her, now what a strange idea that would be, to borrow money off a relative who has money instead of going to the dodgy gangster. But then, that wouldn't be the Eastenders we all know and roll our eyes at!

I wish they would get rid of Andy the Mickey Mouse Gangster, along with the Ferrera's and Vicki.

Better Panto than his previous hobby of killing people.

Get that murderer off our screens.

Why does he work there if he hates it so much? The Ferrara family should stay, but some of them like Adi, Ronnie and Tariq get killed off. If Ash and Karena were left then they could perhaps introduce more family members later on, like an aunt, cousin or whatever else is needed.

Remember when Coronation St. introduced the Desai family. There was the father, Raji was it (?), daughter Nita (?) and then Vik. Raji and Nita didn't work out so they were axed, and a new cousin called Dev Alahan was brought in. Soon came Sunita, then Maya and now, possibly, Dev's father.

And the point of this is that smaller families are way better than bigger ones, where all the actors are battling for the stories.
