Where is your evidence for this? Oh, that's right, you don't have any - it's just you're opinion, but stated as if it's a fact.
She didn't mention her daughter every episode at all, and anyway, you think they weren't ALL talking about their children (the ones who had children)? ITV made the decision about how they edited 24 hours of talking into an hour's show every night - you were only seeing the bits ITV wanted you to see.
I don't vote, but I liked Charlie from the off. Please don't lump everyone into your cynical summing up of the situation - unless or until you can provide evidence of the proportion of votes which were given 'in sympathy' then you are entitled to your opinion, but don't state it as if it's a fact as you did.

Absolutely this!

she was just like background music,
It's obvious she got votes for just being in eastenders,, hopefully this will be a wake up call for itv
and not allow anyone from that show to be included again, you'd think they would have known better from all the soap awards won for eastenders by the young obsessed fans of the show.”
Again, evidence? I watch EE but even if I did vote I'd vote for the PERSON, not the character they play or the job they do. How silly would that be? Undoubtedly that is what some do, but not all - and you can't say it would be enough people to make Charlie win. Believe it or not - and you clearly don't - she could have just made an impact for being her!

Honestly, the winner doesn't matter. I would've been happy for either of them.”
The most sensible, well-balanced and reasonable thing I've read on almost any thread of this programme.
