EE Promising Characters - lacking stories
Eastenders has been bland for a while - we all know that, but what it HAS been doing is building relationships and friendships - brilliant for the new EP to use to shape future stories.
So I'm hoping he'll make use of very promising characters/actors. For instance: Poppy - she's built a loyal fan base on here over the last year, and has had a fair lot of screen time, but it's all been episode filling stories, like looking for flats or that suit case story. give her something to work with - she gets into modelling but falls into anorexia for example. someone who's bubbly - battling this awful problem with fat boy by her side and then getting through it - a whole years worth of story! Carol - MORE! Having said that though, with David Wicks coming back we may get a lot more of Lindsey Coulson which id be very excited about. Bianca's affair with Dan and billy's death showcased how amazing an actress she is - she is so much better than commenting here and there on bianca and the kids stories. Dot - like Poppy has had small stories like issue she had with the council and waving goodbye to Jim, give her something to get her teeth into. i say it's time to give her a dementia story, let june really have some amazing scenes, and break our hearts with a slow burning exit for Dot. Shirley - I think, maybe a toy boy with attitude for her, someone half her age, but she has a fiery relationship with. he regulary disappears on her, she goes mad, passionate reunions. someone to bounce off. Peter Beale - Male rape storyline, also allowing him to confide in Lucy, building that twin relationship back up and proving this new actor can actually act!! Kim and Denise - They are fantastic actresses, Denise seems to be ian's accessory at the moment, and Kim although not so popular on here, is popular outside this forum and is worthy of more than JUST comedy scenes. i'm thinking Denise breaks up with Ian, has an affair with Ava's fella, dexter's dad - Sam, he gets to aggressive attacks Denise, Kim comes in and kills him with something whilst trying to save Denise. Yes its an unoriginal murder story but these two are amazing as sisters and id love to see how they deal with the murder and how it would work out... I'd also axe: Carl - actors wooden and no depth to his 'evilness' AJ - no point to him Tamwar - Give him a depression storyline or get rid, so Masood can be opened up a as single middle aged man and how he deals with that Whitney - no need for her Just a few ideas, what you think? |

Poppy - I love her
Carol- Totally agree, Lindsey Coulson is a great Actress but David is returning so I expect her to have big storylines coming up. Dot- June is 87 next birthday so you cant expect big storylines now. Shirley- I dont know about Shirley, I would axe her but DTC wont be doing that. Peter- needs a storyline Denise- another wasted character- excellent actress. Kim- Axe her Carl- I think his Family will be brought in Whitney- warming to her again Tamwar- Axe Him AJ- Axe Him, dreadful, awful. |

And I find Poppy incredibly annoying but I think the anorexia storyline you suggested would be really good and would probably make me warm to her. I'd prefer the anorexia storyline without Fatboy being involved. I've never liked Carol and I liked David and Biancas father daughter relationship more than Carol and David's romance I preferred Dot when she was funny. If/when June Brown quits, I hope she has an exit similar to Ethel's. I think Shirley is passed her sell by date and should be axed. I think she is a good actress but I never really liked the character. I really don't like the actor playing Peter, he's not a Beale at all and I don't think he could pull off a male rape storyline and I don't think the actress who plays Lucy would be any good at supporting him. I find Denise really boring and Kim is incredibly annoying and it doesn't even feel like they're sisters. |

Axe Whitney? No, no, no, no! I disliked her this time last month but I've warmed to her again, she was FABULOUS on Friday

I think Kim should be axed. Now Ray has gone, she isn't a strong character and without Denise, would fail. Denise seems to be the shadow of Ian and I hate it because he's controlling her. I don't like how fast their relationship started as its unrealistic and they loathed each other for years. I'd like Shirley to have one last storyline with Phil. Dot is ageing and DTC would probably want to rest her. Carol needs to shine more, at the moment she seems to battle Bianca's woes. Poppy is wasted, LN gave her no real storyline. I don't like the way Peter entered the soap once again, could have relaxed him a bit before giving him a storyline. Whitney's time in EE is running its course as her acting suggests she is only capable of the same tedious storylines.

This has happened throughout the disastrous Lorraine Newman era.
