EE - Janine Butcher Michael Moon Stacey Slater CS - Tracy Barlow Chesney Brown Katy Armstrong HO - Theresa McQueen Mercedes McQueen agreed to Janine as I said on another thread somewhere, she was ace and now she's mellowed out and that's not good but the others in bold... Chesney was ruined by katy, not a child and katy was always crap so |

How has Mercedes been ruined by becoming a parent?
They quickly got rid of her baby. It has no effect on her character at all. |

I don't think Mercedes has been ruined by Bobby, quite the opposite. Bobby was her main leverage in manipulating Riley into being with her last year, and now Bobby's gone I totally buy that Mercedes doesn't give him a second thought. She was never the maternal type.

I thought it nearly ruined her when she turned all weird and threatened to throw Bobby off the roof.

Actually becoming a parent has been the making of Janine, as has giving her money. We've seen Janine develop as a character, she doesn't think of just herself any more. It was great seeing her come to terms with motherhood and I hope they continue down this route.
I was fed up of seeing Janine go round in circles but she's gone in a whole new direction and I much prefer that. |

I totally disagree with Janine being ruined.
There was only so long they could do the 'poor Janine never getting ahead in the World'. Personally I was bored of her around the time of the Stacey/Janine feud. Giving her the money and a child has extended her characters life-span. |

I like how Tracy has Amy, yet rarely even sees her now. I think that's a part of her character, so no she's not been ruined imo.

I wouldn't say ruined but Janine has been held back a bit more and will remain so unless something happens to Scarlett.

Sharon in EE. She was never meant to be a mother. The Vic was her baby. Now she's been lumbered with that mini Bieber.

With male characters on the other hand, fatherhood is often mobilised as a strategy to make them (slightly) more human (Derek, Phil, Jack, Michael...) |

Jack was made into a laughin stock by the amount of Mitchell women he's had children with.
EE really need to learn to write mothers convincingly.Janine,Roxy and Sharon have all been ruined by having children. |

I totally disagree with Janine, becoming a mother has rejuvenated her character because there is only so much they can do with the "rich bitch" routine. I'd still like to see her become a little more maternal with Scarlett but we are getting there!
I think Sam Mitchell never should have become a Mum, totally ridiculous storyline! And Roxy has been held back slightly by Amy, in fact all the introduction did was facilitate Ronnie's story not Roxy's. But Sharon has been by far the most effected. As someone else said, she is stuck under a "bad mother" label now which isn't helped by the fact that Denny is such a little brat! |

I haven't liked Janine and Sharon as mothers. Janine has been watered down and Sharon is unrecognisable.

Theresa hasn't really been affected by being a mother, she's never seen with her kid!

Mercedes gave birth to a little baby boy called Bobby in 2011, and it was revealed to be Riley's baby, and Mercedes let Riley take Bobby when he moved away from the village. I can't seem to remember what happened to Bobby once Riley was killed.
