In the last couple of months I have been watching EastEnders, I can't help but think it has become more and more un-interesting to watch...

Some current characters I can't stand:

Michael Moon - Although he has only just recently joined EE, I think his character is very bland and pointless. Why can't Bryan Kirkwood at least wrap up the other Moon family before introducing new ones (Never before mentioned or referenced)?

Vanessa and Jodie Gold - These two characters annoy me. Although, saying that, Vanessa isn't too bad but Jodie...Eughh (Her stupid personality and character/storylines makes me want to scream at the TV!)

Eddie Moon ? - Soo...David Essex is to join EastEnders also, as another addition to the returned Moon family.. I want them to reveal what ever happened to Jake and even Spencer Moon, first?? I mean, did Jake get killed (Last we saw of him on the Square, a group asked him if he was Jake Moon). Did the body of Danny Moon get discovered and did Jake get arrested for his murder?

It's funny how neither Alfie or Kat ever mention Spencer and Jake?!

Glenda Mitchell - Another pointless and dire character, imo. I really dislike her, and I find her another dead-end character in the show. (Sorry if I sound harsh).

Carol Jackson! - Now, I don't know which of the two I hate the most in EE atm...Glenda or Carol? I find her character has long-expired as she has been in the show from the 90s and her return is long - over-run. She just comes across as depressive and has a sour and boring personality.

BRYAN KIRKWOOD, THIS IS WHAT I THINK YOU REALLY NEED TO DO (To much improve the current state of the show):-

Write-out:

Glenda Mitchell
Carol Jackson

Seeing as the Gold family are new and also the new additions to the Moons, I understand that they won't be leaving the show for a long while now.

Now, this is where I can see GOLD-DUST waiting to be unleashed:-

BRING BACK:-

Sharon Rickman (Watts) - I really don't understand why EE have not decided to bring back the ever-famous Sharon Rickman (Former Watts/Mitchell) to the show?!

I know that before Diederick Santer stated that they didn't bring her back because of the over-lap with R&R, but imo, Sharon is 10 times over, the character and past that Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell are, and will ever be...

Letitia Dean has stated many times she would like to return to Walford and reprise her role as Sharon, so why not just go for it?! Ronnie is soon to leave the show for a bit anyway.

Some possible fantastic storylines Sharon could become involved in:

She discovers Phil's involvement in Dennis' murder
She returns to visit Ian and introduce him and other residents to her baby, Dennis Jr.

We could also see Sharon as a grown-up mother and hear of what life has been like for her in America.

She could become a new love interest for Jack or maybe even Max. I could see good chemistry between both of the Branning brothers!

She could even try to claim her spot as the landlady of the Queen Vic (Where I think she really belongs, in the heart of Albert Square) and boot off cheesey Alfie and Kat Moon's.

EE needs Sharon, and Sharon is linked to the majority of EastEnders Television history!

She has been through so much since the show launched:-

Been adopted by her parents, Den and Angie Watts, and living with them in the Vic in the 80's

Finding out her father, Den Watts is still alive and sees his return from the dead, much to her such shock

Discovering Den married Chrissie in Spain

Bonding with Chrissie (Den's second wife) and right to the end where she discovers she murdered Den and buried her father in the cellar of the pub)

Etc....

This thread seems to more about your obsession with Sharon Watts than the state of EastEnders, to be honest.

Brilliant though Letita Dean undoubtedly is, I'm sorry but I feel that ship has sailed. I think Sharon as a character has had her day.

So you dislike Eddie Moon before he's even been seen on screen and you're bizarrely hung up on Spencer and Jake (characters from the past are rarely mentioned in soap - why should those two be any different?)?

Slightly odd. Anyway I disagree with most of your points but you're welcome to your opinion - but surely it could've gone in one of the many other EE bashing threads on the first page of this forum?

How can you dislike a character who has yet to appear? And yeah Sharon is a great character and I'd love to see her return but "What's happened to Eastenders" based on most of those little facts is a tad dramatic.

EE is good at the minute. It could be better yes but its not as bad as it was before Christmas, not by a long way

Okay, yeah I can see where you are all coming from.

Sorry if you find me odd, I do have autism.

But, I do have a fascination with the actress and the character of Sharon Watts.

I just wish that before in the past, she was brought back. She should have been there for Pauline's death/funeral as they were close friends, as I re-call.

I don't hate Eddie Moon. Sorry if it appeared I was saying this, only I wish they would at least wrap up Jake Moon. His character was left in limbo, like many others to name (Chrissie, Lucas etc.) Just a simple mention of his death or where he in now, maybe even in the form of a postcard or a letter sent to Alfie or something..

He did feature in EE for a while back in 2005/2006 time, Trying to runn away with Chrissie and shooting his brother Danny. Also, thinking about it, Spencer doesn't matter that much, to be honest. He is meant to have moved away, case clased, but for me, Jake's story remains open,and un-finished.

I wish that they would officially announce that they have no plans for Sharon's return, only some fans (One to name, my friend) loves Letitia Dean, and always asks me if I think she will return to EE in the future, when we discuss EastEnders.

To be honest you're not alone with the Sharon obsession. She has to be the most wanted character return. She has this crazy legacy and people can't let go of the Sharon days.

I'd like it too because frankly she was an amazing character well acted but it's not the be all and end all if it doesn't happen.

Ahh, thanks!

I knoww right, she is a great character, imo!

It just makes me upset that Letitia will return, but the BBC haven't asked for her back!

I am also quite disappointed at Kat and Alfie's return.

I loved them in the 90s and throughout 2000 (Between 2001-2005).

Some fantastic storylines I throughly loved and enjoyed were:

Alfie meeting Kat in the Vic
Kat and Alfie get married in the Queen Vic.
Alfie's affair with Little Mo and the big reveal of it all by a drunken Billy, in the pub!
Kat discovering Den's death and Zoe's involvement in 2005, and her manipulation of Chrissie and Sam.

It just seems that now it is all depressive and upset Kat, at the "Loss" of her new-born baby. Although her baby is perfectly well, in Ronnie and Jack's arms much to Jack's un-knowledgeable of this!

I was soo looking forward to the return of them both, please make great storylines with them again, not depressing and falling-out ones please, EastEnders/Bryan Kirkwoood!

The two characters I can't stand most is Kat and Alfie. How predictable was it they would fall out and be miserable again. It's the horrible 2004 year all over again.

Kat and Alfie weren't in the show in the 90's and Alfie didn't appear until near the end of 2002 so I'm confused

My mistake there, sorry. I thought I could have been mistaken.

But yeah, I preferred them back in the day...

It seems like at the moment, we are not seeing quite the same sides to the characters of Kat and Alfie.

The heart-to-heart bonds with Zoe and Little Mo were really good, and the acting was fantastic!

I agree in a sense. But WHY OH WHY didn't they make Alfie the father of Kat's baby? It would of made so much more sense to see them grieving at the death of their own child.

Michael Moon has come from nowhere and yet again messed up their relationship. Just like Andy, just like Little Mo, just like Dr. Anthony Trueman.
And for all those other people in their relatively short relationship - you're telling me they're supposed to be together???

- Plus this stupid endless coughing Heather storyline.
- Phil, and Glenda's obsession with him.
- Masood being so unlikeable regarding Afia.
-The mess they've made of the baby swap.

I am a loyal fan and hardly ever complain about EE. But recently I just can't understand what they're thinking.

I agree entirely with the Op.

Sharon IS EE. DS recognized that EE had a big problem when
It came to reflecting it's past and representing the past continuity of the show. THAT is why ge kept bringing back characters. Trouble is he brought back the wrong ones. To save his precious Ronnie he refused to bring back that one character that could do
More for the show and represents more of it's past and future than any other. At the end of the day, Sharon is a more important and bigger charscter than janine, carol, Bianca, and Claire combined! (much as I love carol).

There's still plenty to do with her character, and she will always have a place on the square.

It would be horrible to have Sharon back - because she won't commit to the show, she always wants time off etc - it would just be horrible to have her back like that.

That's false. Blame the writers for writing Sharon in and out, not Dean. Dean was contracted from 01-02, then 03-04. It was the writers who wrote Sharon out at end of 01 and 02. Dean did nothing then that McFadden and Womack don't do know (ie months of dissapearing). The difference is dean did it first and Sharon is so important that the writers didn't think the viewers would just buy her not being onscreen for weeks at a time like they do with Ronnie.

Dean is very committed to EE. Unlike some, she has never flagged the show off, she even came back for Den's final ep when she didn't have to (she probably would have come back for pauline's but Harwood never asked her!). Then, despite quoting at end of 04, she came back for 6 months to tie in with Denniz and Chrissie leaving when she didn't have to.

It's not fair to blame dean for Sharon's comings and goings - that's the writers.

I completely agree here! Letitia Dean is a deticated actress and cast member to the show.

I wish that Bryan Kirkwood would just for once, open his eyes and see the great potential Sharon is as a true, legendary EE Character! :yawn:

But I guess we are all wrong here, and he just knows best. Afteral, Glenda, Connor, Whitney,Sonia (Why the hell get her back?!), Carol and Vanessa are fantastic characters and are much well-known than Sharon and Chrissie Watts!

Note my sarcasm...Character's like Sharon are complete Gold-Dust, you won't get any ever like them from "New characters".

Tbh, imo, if it wasn't for Kat and Alfie, then since the pub burnt down and Peggy left (Oddly! grr! lol) anyways, I find the show is like a spin-off or a spoof of the real EastEnders we all used to watch in the evenings.

But where would she fit exactly?

The Vic, well that is Alfie and Kat's domain now, how would it work for her?
All her family are gone, no pauline the only ones who will remember her is a few.
what would her storylines be??? connected to Phil, been done and really don't want it rehashed.
There are too many similar female characters to her on the show at the present.
Again the annoying exit of the character again and again even if its not the actress fault it messes up plots big time.

Even though she is a good character I just think her time on the square is over and its time to move on.

I wonder if there's a chance Sharon could be brought back and take back the blonde arena after Ronny goes. I agree that EE isn't much good at the moment, and one of the reasons for me is that there are almost no likable characters. With Stacy gone, at least there's Kat and Alfie, but there's so much centred on Ronny, it's like she was supposed to take Sharon's place in some way as a central, fiesty woman of the same age with problems in her past and a seedy father, but whereas most characters would have some redeeming qualities it's like with Ronny that's all missing, and I get the feeling it's being relyied on that a viewer would forgive her for the downsides just because she's good looking, which is well annoying. Surely there has to be something likeable about a character in a drama or what's the point? Sharon was central to EE for so long that I think her coming back would bring much needed life and roots back to it, so I agree they should bring her back, and I think Ronny's exit (soon I hope) would be a perfect time to do it. They should get rid of Roxy. Sharon was never horrible. It seems like nowadays they have to have all these characters who are just selfish and horrible, e.g. they've changed Lauren from a sweet girl into a nasty one, and Peter Beale's gone. In the old days even Dirty Den was loveable.

Why do you think bringing back an old character long gone would "improve" the show. Surely new characters, working with the ones they have and fresh, realistic storylines are better. Sharon was in it so long, she has had so much happen to her that it would be hard to bring her back in a fresh, exciting way. And why would she come back? Secondly, Letitia left on a break and never came back. Do you honestly not think if she really wanted to come back she wouldn't have done so given how long she has been gone?

They've officially announced that there are no plans for Sharon to return numerous times now

In the old days even Dirty Den was loveable.
Characters aren't supposed to all be loveable. And I personally have never seen Ronnie as Sharon. Ronnie was never a "nice" character. She was the ice queen when she arrived. The character was interesting because of the complexities of her character. Sharon was never complex. She was a great character, who above all was a "nice" woman, but she had great storylines.

And just because you don't see redeeming features in Ronnie, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't The redemption comes in that she is a woman in need of psychological help, whose grief over her baby made her do a terrible thing that she now struggles to put right without destroying a lot of lives and given she is getting more mentally unwell, is getting worse.

And she'll get her punishment; sentencing in a mental institution (I'm guessing).

As for past redeeming features; I'd say jumping into an iced over lake to save your sister after finding out she'd had a baby with the love of your life was a pretty slfless thing. I'd say helping the family fight Archie after they'd chosen him over her time and time again was pretty selfless. That's why Ronnie causing a division in arguments. she's done some awful things, but done some pretty selfless things as well. That's why she's interesting and not boring aka Heather.

Hmm hang on. Letitia had panto commitments in the winters of 2001 and 2002. She also returned to panto in December 2004. That is three big breaks in less that three years. Those are the facts there. The writers didn't keep writing Sharon out because they felt like it. It was because under the BBC contracts rule she could only sign for six months at a time due to her other commitments, eg: Panto.

i too would like to see sharon back - she is my favourite character and her history with the show can not be ignored. it was annoying that she would keep coming and going to do panto, but her place is in the vic pulling pints. when jessie and shane leave (which is inevitable at some point) it will be the perfect time to bring her back.

Agree with you about Glenda and about the decline in Eastenders' quality. Stemming from around the time of Archie and Peggy's wedding the show's main focus became the build up and climax of Big Reveals (Danielle, Chryed, Lucas). Character development suffered as a result. Hopefully they will turn things around.

Contrary to most people I like Vanessa and Jodie and I think there's potential in their characters. Vanessa is evasive about her past and hiding something behind that Jackie Onassis veneer. So far the writers have only hinted about her past when Jodie asked about her biological father so I'm curious to see what she's been running away from. Jodie has an optimistic childlike approach to life, almost like a Disney film princess, and I'd love seeing how Snow White copes with what Walford life throws at her.
