Not so long ago I remember browsing this place and lots of people having a mass orgy over the fact that Lorraine Newman was now looking after EE and how she was the best thing since sliced bread, because she knew Eastenders inside-out.

A few months down the line some people crawled out of that orgy and jumped on a band wagon saying "so much for improving it LN, you've broken it" whilst the remainder of folks stayed in the orgy getting harder for Newman saying "give her time, her work isn't showing yet"

Another couple of months down the line and a lot more people are exhausted and decide to rest on the bandwagon, but there remains a few loyal ones in the sticky mess.

Fast forward to a year passing, there seems to be no more orgy maybe a few passers by via a peep hole, but everyone has decided to jump in that bandwagon, burn effigies and condemn Newman to hell.

Next in comes DTC who promises the earth and like a politician, tells viewers everything they want to hear.

Mass orgy part 2.......

My point is so many of you were so sure Newman would be the one to fix the mess, to be honest she could have aired a plate of dog crap for 30 mins and some of you would have said, just give her time. The rest saw sense, but nastily turned on her. What now makes you so sure DTC can fix it or are you all just clutching at straws in hope?

The mass orgy was over BK leaving not LN taking over...

And DTC is exciting because he's s story man... something the show really needs. LN has one major fail and that is storylines. her grasp of character and casting has been good as she has introduced new blood to the show and allowed for natural wastage without waving the axe and bringing in mass changes like BK did.

Let's not forget she has brought the Beales back together, rejuvenated Kat, introduced Sadie who's going down pretty well at the moment, and Ollie and Danny and Carl who's looking very promising (especially the relationship with his mum).

She's has allowed Lauren to shine.

And she's been instrumental in bringing back Ronnie and David.

I'm glad she's going, and she's taken far too long to do what's she's done but DTC isn't getting the mess he would've inherited if he'd taken over after BK that's for sure.

But that's the kind of attitude that LN started with, all of her experience working at eastenders for example... The best call would be a writing cull, get rid of the weakest writers.


And the Brannings.

I'm not in the orgy, I'm a firm believer of better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Quality not quantity too many different writers have an input through one storyline. Which often shows in personality transplants and patchy writing esp with back stories more research to what happened previously would be good

I can't stop laughing at the imagery in the opening post

This is hilarious

On a serious note, I'm just waiting for the posts praising DTC for improving character interaction and community spirit. That's when you know the shit has hit the fan for yet another EP

Character interaction should be a given in any production. If an EP can't provide that then I don't know what they're doing in the job.

DTC is a young producer at 35 but I have every trust he will pull EE back up to the Top again...

I'm glad you like.

But yeah, I'm so looking forward to seeing the interaction of Alice and Tamwar, paint drying would only be more exciting.
