I cant believe how much the quality of eastenders has dropped since 2010!

I've been one to always defend EE but seriously there was so many gripping storylines running through the show and their is literally none nowadays!

Lets just take 2009 as an example..
Lucas turns into a Murderer
Danielle's Shock Death
Archie controlling Peggy
Ricky is revealed to be Tiffany's dad
Archie's Murder
Syed's and Christian's Affair/Being Gay In a Muslim Community
Stacey becomes Bi-polar
Who's the father of Heather's baby?
The hilarious Peggy and Pat Ice cream van episode
Tony's Trial
Lauren's Trial
Sam's Return
Owen's Return

And then compare it to this year's crop..
Lauren being an alcoholic
Tanya's exit
Zaniab's Exit
Lola and her struggle to get back Lexi
The On-running Micheal/Alice/Janine Story
David's Return
Ronnie's Return

And thats about it..
I hope DTC Saves this show!

A high number of those 2009 storylines weren't very good either; granted not as bad as now - but it is not a particularly high standard of comparison.

The Alice/Janine/Michael stuff could have been so good but Newman's just allowed it to plod along. Like last year when Derek plodded along.

And all the stories leading to Tanya, Zainab and Jack's exits.

Being terrible is one thing but putting no effort in is disgraceful.

Even with other bad periods you could sense that some effort was being put into the show 2003-2006. Now? It's like the end of Brookside where they're just waiting for it to die.

I really liked 2009, 2010 and 2011. It's 2012 and this year that's been terrible IMO.

I agree, now it's every episode-

Lauren: I think I'll throw a party for just the family
[Most of the episode is Lauren gathering the guests]
Abi: Lauren I'm really worried about you!
Joey: Lauren I'm really worried about you!

Michael: Alice go and get information from Janine for me
Alice: She's a good person if you give her a chance
Janine: Alice you can't see Michael
Alice: He's a good person if you give him a chance
[Alce cries and shoplifts]

It's literally this over and over again every episode

I don't know why 2010 is discredited so badly on here. I thought it was a great year!

Definitely much better than what we have nowadays but most of what you mentioned was either sub-par or had the potential to be good (so sound it on paper), in which case still sub-par.

Heather/Darren - really?

It was awful then, if it wasn't for Michael it'd be unwatchable now.

LOL, picking an already nosedived place to suggest its 'nosedived' from...

How about the show is now so low it sits alongside the wreckage of the titanic...in comparison to 1986-1988
