Well I dunno if this is allowed, talking about other forums, but I don't see why not. It's no different to slagging off Louise Berridge etc. But anyway, does anyone else here read the BBC soap message boards? My GOD, the place is practically unbearable. I only go to browse through whatever spoilers might be posted, but 8 out of every ten posts seem to be constantly asking for Shannis spoilers (which is a highly annoying name anyway and has legions of fans for totally inexplicable reasons), the SAME bloody topics over and over, every day, even though there are numerous identical topics on the same page. Usually these people have a deranged and unnessecary hate for Zoe cos she's with Dennis :yawn:
And with names like "Oh My God Dennis Rickman iz so fit!" and "Eastenders 4ever Yay Yay Yay!", it doesn't do much to dispel the idea that EE has a mostly young fanbase compared to the other soaps

Some people complain about this place, but one look over there and you'll realise this place is GREAT and at least halfway sane. No wonder Puresoap died when it's connected to pure loons like THAT...

I can't stand the shannis storyline, it really annoys me when people go on and on like it's the best storyline ever. Most people only like it because they like Dennis, which is quite sad It's not a great storyline or even a very interesting storyline.

It doesn't help that the layout is so bad. You can barely tell where one post ends and another begins. But it's just full of nutters. I'm surprised the woman who does Soap Psychic can bring herself to be associated with the place lol.

It is? Then I am an EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY (cannot express how extremely!!) sad person.

The teenyboppers are very stupid on those boards, 9/10 posts are about Shannis.

"I HATE ZOE!!!! SHE IZ A STUPID KID! DENNIS4SHARON!!!"

"WHEN R WE GETTIN MORE SHANNIS EE?!!!!!"

Hummm... I used to post there. But I am truly a DS person now... You can actually 'chat' about soapies here

However, sad as I may be, I am SUCH a huge Shannis fan, but I dont go blabbing about it And yeah... maybe it IS because I love Dennis, but so what?

Its true there are a lot of kids on those boards. I guess its the only place their parents let them loose on.

Err, as the ABOVE person said, it makes you realise this place is pretty great all in all

Secondly, because the BBC boards are for the discussion of soaps too and would normally interest a LOT of people here, I don't see a problem with moaning about it on DS because it's still a connection to soaps and it's a bit of a shame to see that place in such an awful state. It's not like I'm whinging about a Cookery forum

If I hear the words, "Shannis" or "Zonnis" one more time, I'm gonna scream! I don't like the storyline and I can't bear reading posts about people who are completely obsessed about 2 characters in a soap. When I used to post on there, someone actually said they had a shrine to Shannis, and another said that that's what they were going to name their kid when they had one. After passing some comments about the men in white coats coming, I made a quick escape.

I'm a huge Shannis fan,I think they're great.I've liked Sharon since day one and i like Dennis and I think they have lots of chemistry together much more than with Zoe,but I know what you mean about the BBC board.It's full of Shannis and some of the posts are really nasty to Zoe and all Shannis fans are tarred with the same brush.I would never dream of insulting Michele Ryan the way they do.

ok, I am gathering that Shannis is Sharon and Dennis combined? I was getting a little confused there!

Never been on the board, have enough of certain FMs here to gather what they are like over there.

Well by your logic perhaps we should all say nothing about anything, because after all, what good does it do? I mean it's only a FORUM after all, for the dicussion of things.

At long last! I thought I was the only one who despised the plot.. My main reason for disliking it so intensely is that Letitia Dean is such an over-actress that the fact that she is central to 'Shannis" is in itself unbearable.. Secondly, it's a very repetitive storyline! In the beginning, Sharon hesiitated before admitting her feelings, then gave in, and later changed her mind and went back to plan A, ie. resort to sibling mode again.. THEN Dennis behaved the same way and all of a sudden we're back to square 1, and it's clear that the whole cycle will resume soon. How dull! Another problem is that the plot seems to be dealt with frequently in two-hander eppies, which EE are usually rubbish at anyway.. They drag on for ages, it's seriously unwatchable.
