Why do they have to have Fatboy having scenes with every character?

I really can't stand Fatboy, I have not got a clue how he has lasted so long when a great character like Zsa Zsa didn't.

He's working in the pub, always with the teens, has had alot of scenes with Phil and Jean and now he's living with Roxy.

And they had the cheek to make him friends with the Legend that Is Dot.

How was Zsa Zsa 'great'? The actor was no great shakes and she never actually did anything or had a proper story of any kind.

They want to have Dot paired with a teenager or young male character to be like the son or grandson Dots never had; Nicks tried to kill her and Ashley died before having a real connection there was Nigel, Dennis, Bradley and now fatboy it just shows another side to her, im not bothered by their friendship its kinda fun to watch and to be fair who else would they have to be friends with dot?

Fatboy over Zsa Zsa anyday, she was a boring typical "angsty teenage girl" character and the acting wasn't that great either.

Fatboy is brilliant, love him with Jean (and this is coming from someone who would happily have Jean as number 1 on my "axe list")

Fatboy with Jean, Phil and Mo!! I liked his little thing with Ian last year too, I got the impression that Ian was trying to replace a recently departed Peter with Fatboy

Agree with the OP..dunno why he is being forced on us like this. The character is an insufferable annoyance.

The producers and it seems some viewers seem to think Fatboy is funny , for some reason . Same with Kim , I just can't fathom what's so hilarious .
Maybe I'm just a miserable get

I like him I think he's better than Kim and works well as a background character and the actor showed me round Walford as I've properly said lots of times

I like Fatboy. I think he does work well with unusual characters - characters you would never think he would share scenes with, let alone have any kind of relationship with - because of his youth and his mostly optimistic personality. But I think at the moment they're trying to find a place for him to settle, with a little niche he fits in with. He doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the teens because unlike Joey and Lauren, he has no family to fall back on and has to work and face up to his responsibilities (instead of moaning because your parents want you to do well and have the audacity to give them money, the poor darlings). He's like Lucy in that way, but they don't fit as friends (she's much better suited with Lauren and her frenemy Whitney). The sad thing is, he'd probably make a great partnership with Tamwar on a market stall but I don't think TPTB are too interested with following that friendship up.

In small doses he is ok but they have used him a bit too much lately for my liking, Why is he always in The Vic and desperate to get Phil out? I mean cant he just do his shift downstairs behind the bar, pulling pints and collecting glasses and leave Phil alone? Why does he care if Phil is upstairs on the sofa? :/ irritating :P

Loathe him. Would be nice to see him come to some harm.

I'm not a fan either. I know that he is supposed to be one of the few likeable characters in EE but I find him really irritating. He just seems to serve no purpose. He needs a good dramatic storyline to develop. The marriage to the girl who left (can't remember her name) didn't work at all and the bit where he dad came in for a short period didn't go anywhere.

because he is a social butterfly and the type of person who can and does talk to everyone.
