Post a picture of yourself so we can all make up names about you. Seriously, I, along with others, are getting really annoyed with all the toad jibes. They are not aimed at his character but at his actual person, and is bullying.

What a waste of a potentially legendary character. Johnny Allen all over again.

the show has messed up killing Derek. nobody was suppose to like him meaning the character was a success they had the opportunity to turn him into a nasty piece of work who keeps returning just dont get why they would kill him off .

Hardly! Johnny Allen was a far better villain than Derek ever was. Johnny was an old-school East End villain; you could believe that he was feared and obviously very dangerous. He had a vast criminal empire and lots of connections; he even killed two of the show's biggest characters! Derek has nothing; he is a joke.

for Johnny Allen eastenders had at the time the best writers they gave him believable storylines & background. Derek didn't have any of this.

Well, whilst I don't like it either and you won't see me making those comments....he has made a career out of playing the hard faced gangster. I don't think he'd be offended.

TBH me calling him Toad is nothing to do with Jamie's looks but more to do with the character being slime

I always called him toad because of the way he puffs himself up...nothing to do with his face.

The thing with Derek is his turned out not to be at the 'level' of criminal that he was built up to be. I think from the beginning it was made obvious that he was not in the Johnny Alen mould of gangster/boss but we were expecting him to be some highly feared enforcer type of character, but they ended up playing him like more of a comedy character.
