EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PAUL VASLAV, THE NEW EP OF EASTENDERS
As EastEnders begins its 28th year we talk to new EE EP Paul Vaslav on his vision for EastEnders and his plans for its future. DS- Hello Paul PV- Hello DS DS- So you have taken over from Lorraine Newman, what is your vision for EE? PV- Lorraine steared the show out of a difficult patch last year and the her reign though brief saw some interesting developments, we saw the return of Sharon, the departure of Chryed and more recently the arrival of Ava and the death of Derek so its big shoes I am stepping into. DS- So here we are in 2013 and you have already axed six characters, can you tell us why these characters? PV- It is always difficult telling actors that they are no longer needed but we need to keep the show fresh and take it forward. I just felt that these characters had reached the end of the road with any potential storylines. DS- Laila Morse for example has been with the show for 12 years PV- Yes and Laila has been great but she understands why Mo is going to be written out DS- You have axed some of the teens, FatBoy, Whitney, Tyler, Alice etc, will you be replacing them? PV- FatBoy and Tyler are not teens but yes we will be replacing them DS- Sharon's comeback was not the blazing comeback of 2001 why? PV- Well BK brought her back and Lorraine was here when Letita returned, you have to understand that Sharon was a single women in 2001 and she had not met Dennis and believed her Dad was dead but now 12 years later she is a widow and a Mother- the Vic holds many bad memories for her so it was not realistic to put Sharon back in the Vic but the Square is her home and 2013 is going to be a big year for Sharon. DS- Any old favourites returning? PV- well Charlie Brooks who plays Janine is back in March but beyond that who knows DS- Many DS Fans would like to see Grant back now that Sharon is in the Square and David too. PV- I would love to have Ross and Michael back as Grant and David but it depends on them and storylines DS- Is Cora the new Matriarch and why is she not in the Vic? PV- I admit Cora would be great for the Vic but I think its the wrong time in Cora's life to run a pub. DS- Denise is one character who had a quiet year last year. PV- We are planning a big storyline for Diane to get her teeth into- I can promise DS- Shirley has recently returned to the square, does she have revenge in mind? PV- very much so but beinng away with her daughter and grandson has given Shirley a bit of clarity- she is back and ready to take on Phil but Jay remains a priority for her too, she wants to look after him. DS- Now that Chryed have left will there be a new gay couple on the Square? PV- At this stage we are casting for two new gay male characters but they will not be a couple. DS- The Beale Family seem fragmented with just Ian and Lucy any plans to extend them? PV- Ian and Lucy will be joined by more Beale's this year but as yet we dont know when DS- Finally Kat and Alfie have not been a success in the Vic and its been six years since a new family arrived, wouldn't it be great if a new family took ownership of the Vic? PV- On that one, I say WATCH THIS SPACE... DS- Well it all looks exciting Paul. PV- I hope so, I am looking forward to this year DS- Thank you for speaking to DS Paul PV- Thank you DS. |

It's great to see your writing in more detail, Vaslav37. I interested in the Character of Ava, especially with her being a Doctor, which I did not expect. I think Mo should leave in a Box, it could bring some great storylines - the arrival of Mo's Children or the return of the Slater sisters!
