and anyone who is with Janine is boring aswell, Billy is boring, Danny is boring, her work place is boring,

I like her being rich but there is no good drama that involves her anymore, I'm not sure whether Micheal has given up the custody battle, I'm not sure if Janine still hates him,

what is going on with them?

Still not sure what Danny's intentions are, is he trying to help or con her? is he a useless lump?
Football training in a Boxing Gym, um, yeah, okay!

Where else can Janine's character go?
She doesnt work as a Mother, she neglects her most of the time, the baby needs to go, but keep her rich but make her more evil, like she was during DTC/Santer era!
She needs a partner in crime, that is not a man!

Agree 100%, Janine should lose her fortune she's never the same, she needed pat, and for Danny don't even get me started.

She is boring now she is rich and stuck with a baby.

They should kill off the baby, make her crazy and evil again.

I dont mind her staying rich but she needs to start having stories with other characters, I enjoy her realtionship with Billy but I don't think she has shared any scenes with the rest of the Jacksons since returning, Liam is her nephew yet you would never believe it.

Maybe they are neglecting Janine because they are unsure whether Charlie will take another break or not if they give her a big storyline?

I agree with the Original Poster. I do not think being rich suits the character at all.

She should keep the money. I really don't want to see penniless Janine trying to get her hands on scraps of money to pay the rent again (almost as repetitive and played out as Bianca's money problems).

But she needs a new and interesting storyline. Maybe once Michael leaves the show she'll be able to do something new.

Having her own business is good, they're just not using it to its potential.

Oh, and axe Danny. Awful character played by an unconvincing actor.

We haven't seen a lot of Janine since her return but she has plenty of drama coming up as Michael gets more desperate to get Scarlett, which leads to

Spoiler
.

It looks like she will also be involved with her step brother when he returns. Not sure Danny is ever going to turn out to be more than a pretty face.

Janine was at her best when motivated by money and the gaining of money.

Making her rich and then a mother has really tamed the character down. I agree, I want bitch Janine back.

Nobody suits being rich in Eastenders. Thats why they live in Walford! Nobody with money would want to live there! - well maybe Ian Beale!

If you have money then you have power and enough money for anything. Roxy was the same when she was a millionnaire (just 3 years ago lol!) - her character became even more selfish than before but it didn't give her any new storylines.

Danny - Newman clearly didn't have a plan other than to bring him back. Totally pointless.

She needs to interact with more characters better characters not Danny, Alice, Micheal or Billy.

Don't ever think she had a nice sat down heart to heart with Dot, even after knowing each other since the 80s,

I wish she would have a nice scene about the past with her!

I'd like her to have that scene with David when he returns.

Janine has been screwed over. They took her in the wrong direction, don't know what to do with her anymore and now she's rarely seen. She was never a major league character but she used to be a lot more prominent and it grates that characters like Lauren and the Hartmans are never off screen while Janine is never on screen!

Have Dot and David ever had a scene together? I know June wasn't in the show during Michael's first stint but I can't recall them interacting last year either

Why can't Janine be the one to take down the Mitchell empire?

I have noticed that despite a few exchanges EE have always kept Janine and Phil to a minimum which is a shame as I think these two characters either as enemies or working together would be interesting, lots of missed opportunities with them owning the R&R.

She's not boring at all, she's just not been used as much as she should be

I meant Janine and David. David is her step brother and they both have history with Pat. Once Michael is gone he will be the closest thing to family she has in Walford.
