Yes, Chloe simms brings very little to the show, and as Becky said, The GC is no loss either!

What do you all think the show needs in order to survive? (be nice now )



I only started watching it this year, and I get the impression it is based on superficial shallow people so I am not really sure if there is much more mileage. A lot of the people are v self absorbed which eventually becomes very boring. Maybe a few more characters that are wittier and more intelligent, would be a breath of fresh air. I like Diags and I think Lauren Pope has more between her ears than the rest of them, Bobby is nice too.

Tommy Mallett. I'm amazed he can walk in a straight line he is so bloody stupid.

Jess Wright with her delusions of grandeur and her hatchet faced Mother.
I actually quite like Tommy. I don't think he is as stupid as he looks or sounds as what he says is sometimes quite sweet and intuitive but his voice and delivery hinder him.

Anyone else happy to see less of Chloe Sims this series?
Yes she doesn't offer much at all.

Jess is growing on me, she does seem happier with Pete around. She needs to grab that opportunity and appreciate it as he looks to be good for her and boy does she need some life and warmth.

Dan E is an odd one. Seemed nice when he first appeared but looks as if he dumped his girlfriend just to get on the show. She seems nice tho.

Angry Lewis doesn't seem to have changed as much as he keeps saying he has.

I still like watching the show. It's almost like the modern day equivalent of watching gladiator bouts or public hangings as these people pretty much torture their souls to get on TV. surely without the show/airtime most of these relationships would actually simply end rather than be on and off. Charlie Simms had the right idea when he left for real life.

Wonder if Liam is as rich as he makes out with his helicopter ride and caviar? I reckon he got a loan to impress Ferne

Really dislike his voice it is as grating as Debbies.

Agree with this, there's more to him than just another dimwit Joey Essex clone. I've actually grown to really rather like him.

I hate to say it, as I thought he was a right tw*t before but he's quite grown on me recently! I like how he cares about Arg and he put Jake in his place before.

No I quite like her, although all the stuff with Elliot was laborious.

Anyone see Nanny Pat's new teeth in that last episode? Bless her! Maybe look a bit over the top for her age though!

An observation - why are they ignoring the fact that Dan Edgar ditched Kate for Jess, and then Lauren Pope? Now Kate's back on the scene he's just ditched Lauren.P (who he was spending all his time with before that and in Marbs) and there's no mention of that from anyone. Missed opportunity for more of a storyline there I would've thought?

Also Fran seems to be really out of the picture at the moment.. She came into the show as friends with Grace and Georgia. They got rid of Grace straight away after she argued with everyone, and then Georgia and Fran seemed to fall out (and Fran and Ferne hated each other) so she's in hardly any scenes now. I'd like to see more about why her and Georgia fell out.

Final observation.. They keep bringing newbies into the show and then suddenly focusing whole storylines around them i.e. Nicole and Lewis, Dan and Kate, and the 2 new guys this series... I know they have to throw mud at the wall and see what sticks, but they're doing it so much I keep forgetting characters. For example, remember Verity from last series? What happened to her? I thought she was going to be quite an interesting character (someone for Vas to hang out with now Lauren Pope is leaving), especially as we know she's got with Jake before and she had a thing with Lockie too.
Then there was a girl called George from a few series ago who was brought into it loads as friends with Georgia and Lydia etc as she had a thing with Lew Bloor - suddenly she was nowhere to be seen again.

This has been the worst series to date, I'm really struggling.. It's all so boring. We've seen it all before.. Lydia and Arg especially! Jake and Chloe are just going round in circles, Jess and Pete are so forced for the show and even the newbies are bland as dry toast. Dan and his ex, Lewis and his ex.

i



I wonder if younger people in Essex are't interested any more, we have Lydia, Jess, Arg and Chloe's mum making appearances, and Nanny Pat of course. The only way is HRT and incontinence pads.

I was wondering the same thing. What happened to George and then Verity? Is it because their love interests went off them, Tom Pearce-Lewis Bloar and Pete respectively?

And yes Fran. In it less and less. Is this because she has fallen out with everyone? She is meant to be good friends with Lydia but they are never seen together anymore?

Maybe if you are not getting into conflict or someone's bed the producers lose interest?

Really sad to see Lauren Pope going - she is one of the more normal, grounded girls. It is a pity she and Chloe Sims didn't manage to repair their friendship - They did try, but it wasn't the same.

I also agree with the above.
I wonder if the production and trying to gain a wider audience by showing so much of Nanny Pat and 'the mums' ?
I hope they read this thread and take note!

Oh yeah, lovely Tommy. Like when he was called out for being abusive to his girlfriend and calling her a CU Next Tues only to turn on everyone that dared to call him out for being the thuggish **** that he is as he attempted to take the moral high ground. Yeah, he's real sweet.

Personally I think Fran may be having health problems? Maybe some mental health issues? Can't see else why they only drag her out once or twice a series. Plus she's not nearly as dolled up as she used to be (even after her & Diags got together she was still a dolly bird).

Totally forgot about Verity, mind you I thought she was bloody dull and not as stunning as they kept saying. Making stupid comment and then laughing "Nah I'm joking" doesn't make you interesting.

Any reason why you'd think that?

I think Carole and Debbie have a genuine friendship which is most unusual for Towie!

Can't stand Carol but Debbie amuses me.

Funnily enough I was only saying the other day to my daughter how short Pete seemed to be, and then on the latest episode he height...or lack of...was mentioned a lot.

Short or not, he has the most lovely eyes.

Anybody know how tall he is?

Lauren was my favourite too. Didn't seem to be bitching about people all the time. She wasn't afraid to go against the main group and voice her own opinions.
