Eastenders producers have decided to renew the contracts of the Ferriera family for another year.


According to the producers, they are positive that they can be more popular.

Well, they can't get less popular than they already are, can they!?!?

Oh, Goody! I hope we get to see loads more interesting, exciting and dramatic storylines with them. I just love the Ferreira family. They're played by such brilliant actors. Today is their first anniversary in the soap!!!! I'm SO glad they're staying!!!

BTW, I'm being sarcastic incase any of you think I've gone mad. Seriously, EE are digging their own grave.

This has to be a joke. I mean come on would you renew the contract of an unpopular set of characters?

I'm not being prejudiced in any way or form but is there some legislation thats keeping them in the show due to the fact they are from a minoirty background?

It looks the BBC3 showing could be reality for the show.

i think that before, when Dan was around, they didn't have much to do, except a crap storyline about how unreasonable their dad was, and then they caught up in the ridiculous missing parents / eviction plot. Hopefully now that's out of the way they can settle down and start learning to act. Of course, it seems EE it setting us up to await the Wrath of Dan when he returns, but i really hope he doesn't. As long as he stays away and they step out of his shadow, i think there's hope for them yet. (At least i hope there's hope!)

Please don't hate me for his but I would like to point out that the Slaters were beyond hated for at least a year into their arrival but then the Kat/Zoe/Harry storyline came about and changed all that.

Perhaps they need a decent storyline to prove themselves, if that doesn't work then they should just get the hell out of the square!! (as peggy would say...)

Oh dear - now we have the ridiculous spectacle of the Ferreiras spread out around the Square, staying with the likes of Dot and Pauline, who hadn't even given these wastes of space a second glance beforehand

Ooh look - Ronnie's just broken the bathroom rail at Paulines!! How original, and funny.

Can I just say none of this has been confirmed yet like I have said before some or all of them WILL be leaving either by the end of the year or early next year.

This news is not very encouraging. What are the producers doing to my once favourite soap.

Is there anyway we can lobby the BBC and the producers of EE, to get the show back on track and to get rid of the Ferrira's?

LB has killed the show, and so have this family and its about time they were gone because they cant act.

I actually don't mind the Ferriras ( could be because I only watch Eastenders in between Corrie on Monday and if I am really desperately bored on the omnibus on Sunday).It was stupid that they made this storyline for a family that the viewers didn't really know, i.e care about but I think once they have settled they might grow on us!

Do you think LB actually watches the final episodes? I get the feeling she is too busy getting the axe out to kill all the potential characters! Maybe she was hired by Corrie to get the job at Eastenders to begin the demise of their arch rival....

What about one of those online petition thingies.. I can think of very few EE viewers who wouldn't want to sign it. It's be a start at least.. Only problem is does anyone actually pay any attention to those.

Just a rumour I hope.

He's the only member of the family that can act.

Keep Ash and get rid of the rest of his family.

Wth this petition, yes it seems a good idea, but I'm frightened of offending any Asian members on this board.

Is there anyone on here that is Asian because I would like to hear their point of view on the Ferriras.

Its about time these "actors" would fcuk off from EE and take Louise Berridge and Spencer with them.

I would totally agree with you there Artie. I wonder if he regrets coming on to EE, I think it is a waste of his talents.

I'm probably being stupid here , but what is happening to the guy who played Dan - is he coming back to EE or has he gone for good (I hope).
