Did anyone really buy into Tanya and Sharon as best mates? I'm glad their friendship was forgotten. It was fake and hollow.
Does anyone really buy into Ava as a character? She's a pathetic add on who serves little purpose, has no fixed characterisation and makes no sense whatsoever. It was pointless to make her a regular. Those couple of episodes last year should have been it for her because they clearly have no idea what she's about or what to with her.
I'm speaking for myself now but I also never bought into Cora and Tanya as mother and daughter. Sometimes it worked, mostly it didn't feel real and came off as 2 actresses acting. That's no slight on the acting of either actress but I felt they lacked chemistry as a believable mother and daughter.
For a supposedly important and major character Tanya's exit was very poor. Badly thought out and not very believable in terms of her being able to uproot her entire life in a flash. I don't see any reason why it all had to be crammed into a week's worth of episodes. I'm fed up of this style of storyline structure from EastEnders.
