I have actually given up posting there. I went to say "YEAH! LB IS GOOONE!" on the EE boards (a.k.a Kalfie/Spencer Fan Club/Hilarious Ferrairas board) and people were like:

"WHAT?! Is this true? Then I feel quite sad if it is."

"louise has been a great executive producer and to see her go is sad she has made the show great and i hope it doesnt go down hill. i think her work isnt recognised enough! "

MY GOD! Is the last person mentally deranged? She has made the show great? She hopes it wont go down hill? WHERE HAS SHE BEEN?!

I have actually given up the boards. ALL THE POSTERS either praise Spencer, admire LB, write in text talk or USE CAPS LOCK. It's infuriating

Yes, the EE boards are a twilight zone of evil and horror... People there are messed in the head! And you get people that fancy EVERYONE... From Billy to Minty, to Den to Ian. NO JOKES people!

But to say LB made the show great... That is just an awful thing to say

Well they've changed their tunes because as I remember they were all baying for LB's blood even going to the extent of creating petitions online to kick her out. I've given up on the BBC board, can't be arsed to wade through all the 'Shannis' crap to get to the half decent posts.

I really can't stand those boards, you can't post anything bad about EE or it's production team, and people don't post half as much on threads about other soaps than they do on EE, yes I know, BBC board, but it is meant to be about all soaps.

At the moment, reading the threads I have found "It is true, she is leaving. However, i'd like to thank her for doing the best job that she can, and the characters she has brought in. I mean without any Dennis, there would be no Shannis, and no Alfie. " I'd like to agree with part of this, without LB, there'd be no Shannis - thank God she's gone!

I find the Tweenies postings about EE on this board, effectively ruins any chances of intelligent, rationed debate because all you get is 'eastenders iz well good it is the best soap, dennis and spencer iz well fit,' most of them are semi illiterate and incredibly poor at expressing a proper argument. Any point you may make SHOCK HORROR about Eastenders not being as good as it once was, is blasted down with these inane ramblings.

Glad Berridge has gone, hopefully the new producer will have the sense to sack half the cast and get some decent storylines, acting and scripts. Tweenies need not reply.

The BBC boards are a nightmare to use anyway; their in-house board software is awful, and the implementation of things like cookies etc. is completely fuxxored. I don't know why they refuse to use something like vBulletin (used here) or UBB instead.

The software on the BBC boards is the worst I have seen anywhere (apparently they have no money to upgrade it). It doesn't even bring last-posted threads TTT, so within a day a thread is lost down on page 4, and a new one starts yet again with duplicated inane ramblings. I've given up posting on there too - there are three or four intelligent contributors but their stuff gets drowned out by the crazies and tweenies.

And you can't even suggest one of the soap cast is less than amazingly talented and gorgeous, or you get deleted, so it isn't possible to have a proper debate anyway.

I had a look yesterday to see the reaction to LB going and couldn't believe the pieties being expressed - I'm guessing they were afraid of the censor, or were simply deluded.

Thats what LB has done - shes exclusivley marketed the show at girls in their teens and often as young as 10.

The BBC boards are extremley biased and are probably edited - but the Hosts are the worst offenders - they claim to be rational adults yet spend all day making up points of conversation with girls who basically want to molest Nigel Harman.

If you were to report every thread on here for being stupid then you would be left with about three threads

True, but I just get into 'Report Post' Moods. Those 'Alert' buttons do something for me
