Shirleys return brings in 8 million is evidence of the popularity of her charcater?
The fact that Eastenders hit the 8 million mark for the first time since March on Monday evening 18th November, overnight figures show.
Her return beats Michael Moons murder Phil Mitchells car crash Peggys one off visit Is the increase in viewers, evidence of the characters popularity? |

It's winter now, so ratings are supposed to be high now... People tuned in for Shirley's return to find out more about her. But yes, Shirley is popular.

Nah, it's just a sign that improving quality is keeping viewers gripped and making them tune in more regularly
Her last return didn't provide such a boost and she was away longer that time. |

Combination of factors: Yes, people want to see her character, but, viewers always like EE when it has a 'gangster vibe' to it with a Mitchell involved.I also think for the past month, its defo been gradually getting better, so, word of mouth/internet general buzz. You also had DD's comments about ED, which generates its own buzz. All contributing factors.
Also, some people (who don't read DS!), maybe imagining that they were tuning in to find out Shirley dead/held hostage & were expecting a full on fight btwn Philf & Carly-Carl. |

There's no doubt that Shirley is a popular character and with her family coming in there is increased interest. The Carters are set to be an important family.

The ratings have been climbing since Michaels murder.Even the press have started to notice the quality improving.
Not evidence that the two bit dirty finger nailed halitosis ridden lush is popular. |

Celeb Jungle got record figures as well . it's probably due to the cold .
If it were a warm summer's evening , then the likelihood of 8mil staying in to watch Shirley would be less |

It was cold and miserable last night so people were indoors, we were out and there was hardly anyone about. I would be interested to see whether other programmes at that time had higher viewing figures as well though.

Increased interest I would say. Whether you like the character of Shirley or not her coming back stirred people's interest so they watched to see how it played out, simple as that to me.

The show is finally improving and maintaining consistency.
That's why the ratings are improving. |

I do think she's a popular character but I don't know if the ratings always reflect a character's popularity.

Shirley could be popular. I don't know and won't rule it out (for the record this point does not reflect my personal view of the character or anything Phirley-related, in case I'm called out on it for some reason).
However, I also can't rule out the possibility that there are people out there who tuned in to find out what happened to her for one reason or another, and perhaps find out what happened between Phil and Carl. |
