I just can't see where they can go with these characters without Derek there. I can see them being written out in 2013

Why is there nowhere for them to go? Why can't Alice form a relationship with someone, why can't Joey continue his with Lucy? I don't understand why Derek leaving would be so catastrophic for the future of the characters?

I think Joey still has some potential to grow as a character and he does have this big SL with Lauren coming up which I think will be an ongoing thing. At times I like him but I hated it when he was rude to Ian and his quite sure of himself.
As for Alice they need to give her a decent SL, how many times is she going to have makeovers or trick her dad and brother into having spaghetti dinners, or just have a relationship that her dad can ruin. At times I like her them sometimes her childishness annoys me and how she still believes her dad good even after everything she witnessed. |

For me, the whole Zainab-Yusef-Masood saga is the worst offender in the "will he/she ever open their eyes?!!!" stakes. Alice-Joey-Derek hasn't come close to that yet.

I highly doubt that Joey and Alice were brought in just for Derek, I reckon if Joey and Lauren pays off and is a hit with viewers then Joey will defo stick around, as for Alice well she will need a new direction and new storylines but she does kind of annoy me, we have quite a few characters around her age already and i would rather EE develop Poppy more who is very underused but is a better character and actress.

Alice could have been really good but they chose to turn her into a bit of a sap and she comes across as being annoying. I can't see what would be left for her in walford because she's barely connected with anyone except for her daddy. |

I think it will depend on whether they are in relationships that are popular with viewers.

Who knows though, her immaturity might vanish over night once her over bearing parent is no longer on the scene - just like Phil's drug addiction vanished over night as soon as Peggy left Walford. |

I hope they both leave with Derek cant stand either of them. Alice is so irritating and Joey has absolutely no personality.The Branning family is far too big and needs cutting down, i'd get rid of Jack as well. Id keep Max, Tanya, Lauren , Abi, Carol and Bianca though i think they're great.

I still do not understand why they were even brought in other than to give Derek more screen time but I disagree with you OP. All we really know is that they grew up hating Derek cause he wasn't there besides that we know nothing, they could go anywhere with the two. Hopefully they will strengthen the characters since they seem normal at first then reach the top end of weird the next week. Full of potential though, I just hope they use it wisely.

Maybe. To be honest, I just wish they'd move away from the formula of Alice trying to get Joey and Derek together, then Joey playing along before eventually revealing he's just playing games. It's really tedious - how many times do they need to do it!

Alice could probably stick around as she's got her cousins to interact with. Whilst that's also true for Joey, what is he going to actually DO now? Shag every girl on the Square? He only (partially, IMO) worked opposite Derek. We see his hatred and desire to enact revenge on his dad. Without that to fall back on, is he going to move onto hating Max or Jack next? He just doesn't seem to have anything preventing him from turning into another Callum/Tyler type.

Fingers crossed they'll both go
!So Joey could go off to prison and Alice decides to go off to be a nursery teacher because she has the same mental age as the pupils:yawn:! |

I hope so. If there was a choice where only one goes, I would rather Derek stayed and those two went.
I would rather have Penny back than Derek's children. They add nothing to the show or the other characters whereas Penny is relatively established and quite important for Jack's character and can provide much more interesting material considering the background and what we know of her already. |

Can't stand either of them. Eastenders has far too many teens.

Joey has a lot of potential whereas Alice is dead wood.
