September 2016

Guys go easy on DTC, a lot of what we see on screen is still LN work.. He has a big
Mess to clean up.


God I can hear it/read it now

Give him a chance guys. They plan storylines like, urm, farrr in advance. I know this as someone on here said it once. We are still seeing Kirkwood's work! I'm sure when we eventually catch up, it'll be worth it...

Coming to think of it.
What has DTC done to improve the show?
Alfie & Kat are still in it stinking up the place, Kim Fox-Hubbard is still making sporadic appearances due to Tameka Empson's pregnancy and now we learn Jacqueline Jossa is pregnant so she'll be off too for roughly a year, if Jacqueline Jossa decides to return.
I mean, he may as well bring back Kirkwood and get it over with.

He's better than newman by far, BUT when newman was there the acting wasn't wooden, also she didn't make everything confusing and secretive! She literally had shit storylines but they were clear, and clearly more appealing to viewers! Dominic's stories have the potential to be great, but they either get dropped for too long, or are too dragged out for long! There is also way too many fillers, the mick/rainie thing is an abomination! If you're going to get danny dyer on the show, use him to his strength! Micks character is so cringe! The carters are in it way too much, shirley I don't mind, but even she isn't in it much now! Linda and tina are great, but the carter kids are woeful, as are tosh and dean! The family set up is VERY poor! They were much better when they first came in! Also every storyline seems to connect! This is very poor! The current cast are absolutely fantastic, barely any characters need axing (about 7), but you don't order the dragon without the fire! There's no meaty storylines for any of the characters! Dtc said he wouldn't make EE a warm bath, but his storylines are soft! Especially the mick swim thing!

Hopefully now kate hardwood has left bbc they will let EE be more gritty again, or replace treadwell collins! All the show has to do is come up with storylines like 1985-2010, it really isn't hard at all! My 7 year old sister could probably do it! Take the who shot phil storyline, who killed archie mitchell, mark fowlers HIV, dirty dens demise, staceys bipolar, kat and zoe, ronnie and danielle! Stories like this are not hard to come up with, it can easily be done! I'm willing to forget about this woeful summer IF the autumn/Christmas/winter/30th are good! If not, dtc can F off! The autumn does look good though! I hope Sonia, stacey, sharon, whitney, carol, shirley, ronnie & roxy, dot, ian and jane, Masood, max, kat and alfie, dot, nick, billy, Patrick, Denise are all given meaty storylines! Because their the characTers who deserve them more than anyone really!
Also, some episodes it doesn't feel like EastEnders at all, which is a real shame! It possibly is still the bbc flagship show but not entirely like it used to be...

Dtc is better than newman and possibly better than kirkwood but that doesn't make him a brilliant producer, I've praised him a lot in the past but he's starting to let everyone down now! Let's hope the autumn is good! Pre 2010 EastEnders (when the show got high figures practically every episode) plsplspls!

Give DTC a chance where still seeing Lorraine Newmans stuff come threw

Dtc has been there for a year now and has had a year to axe dexter and fatboy but their STILL part of the show (I bet dexter won't be axed), LN has long gone, so if it is still her work, it will die out VERY SOON!

Alex lamb is story producer (I think) and has had a year to come up with meaty storylines! November-May were great, not because of storylines but because of CHANGE! Now we've had change it's important for storylines to take place, we want to see big, clever, nation gripping drama like 1985-2010/2011 but instead were seeing the Lucy story not being developed at all, a man who can't swim, a silly drug story, and endless carter rubbish! I hope the autumn / 2015 onwards can be better! (Still not as bad as corrie which is an abomination now)

I've found DTC disappointing. He has stubbornly refused to learn from past EP's mistakes. Viewers weren't happy with the arrival of Branning after Branning and their dominance of storylines so DTC does the same with the Carters. Retconning is generally not well received. We are now expected to believe that for years Shirley has been pining for a child she never mentioned, not even when she lost George after Heather's murder which should have sparked memories of losing Mick. What is worse is that a storyline about the murder of a young woman who was born and raised on the square is limping along. Jay burning a beanie is hardly gripping stuff. Characters he doesn't care about are stuck in ruts with recycled storylines. Kat is obsessed with Stacey again. Abi does exams again. Max has a risky affair again.

I think they need to give dtc a strong warning or bring back deidrek santer, look at the 2009/2010 clips on youtube from when he was there, the quality, writing and acting is so much better! And they're only really missing peggy, pat, janine and tanya... all the other stars like ronnie, roxy, stacey, max, shirley, phil, kat, alfie, ian, jane, Masood, carol... are still here so it has nothing to do with the cast, it's the storylines and quality that are being abandoned! It's like fat blisters whatever it's called, there isn't any need for it! The show needs to be more like pre2010, for the older and younger viewers! BK and LN made things especially for younger viewers, so older ones tuned out, now dtc isn't sure what he wants so even the youngens are tuning out as a result, it should be mixed! Santer got this mix perfect!

I wonder if we just expected too much from DTC. He is a good producer and he has improved the show but he has also introduced some slap stick elements I'm really not keen on and had Newman done them people would be fuming but DTC seems to get a free pass. The Branning dominance has just been replaced by Carter dominance and controversially I'm going to say I preferred the Brannings. I like the Carters but there is too many that are just not needed. Whereas when the Branning's started out in 2006/2007 they were eased in slowly which got audiences to love them hence that 15 million Xmas day rating the family got the soap. I can't see the Carter's achieving anything like that. The Tanya/Sean thing was also much better than this Linda/Dean thing.

He certainly isn't as good as Santer but he is better than Kirkwood and Newman. I'm looking forward to the autumn. All the A List cast will be back in play by then so it should hopefully make all the difference. At the moment the show does feel a bit stuck in the mud.

He's going a decent job as producer but he needs to stop overusing the Carters.

In the autumn, Ronnie and Stacey will be back permanently and I believe they will be at the thick of things. Kat should get more screentime. Jane is back soon. The Masoods' big storyline will start soon. We have the Cottons' story.. Phil and Sharon's wedding/aftemath. And finally the Carters.

We need less Carters' screentime and more screentime for other characters.
