There are a few characters in EE at the moment, who REALLY NEED A STORYLINE!

ROXY
Roxy is just shoehorned into scenes with the Mitchell's these days and her relationship with Aleks is point less to me. Rita is capable of a big storyline by herself and hasn't had one in ages. I hope there's more in store for Roxy, or it wouldn't surprise me if Rita declares she's leaving.

NANCY
Like with Roxy, Nancy is just shoved into scenes with the Carter's and her epilepsy storyline is taken a long time to unravel. Maddy is a strong actress and capable of big drama.

LAUREN
Jac Jossa is probably the best actor out of her age group and needs a big storyline by herself as the Jake storyline was nothing but a flop and just created to fill up screen time. Personally, I think Sadie and Jake had potential.

Can u think of anyone else?

Perhaps Luigi Pirandello could knock up a few scripts

Jay - surely screaming out for something to do opposed to being the person who gets told to look after the kids.

Nancy - She's such a great character, but always on the edge of other characters storylines. I'm sure she'll get something eventually, however she is another who is screaming out to be the main feature of a storyline.

The obvious one for me is Nancy but I have a feeling she's going to have a big involvement in the ongoing Carter stuff; she's shared quite a few scenes with Dean and I think there's a reason for that. I don't want to see a whole storyline around her epilepsy because I don't think it should define her, but a little more in the way to passing references to it and how it's impacted her life wouldn't go amiss.

All of the Masood family needs something big.

Jay is probably the other one. When Ben comes back there's an opportunity there to get him back into the main action.

Other than that I think EE has been fairly good at the moment at giving everyone time to shine. I disagree with the OP about Lauren; she's had some big stuff in the Lucy storyline and her relationship with Jake - I certainly don't feel like she'd had nothing to do this year, she's featured pretty prominently. And I like the ongoing stuff with Roxy and Aleks. I think we'll see Aleks's family turn up by the end of the year or certainly early next year, which will give her a bit more to do.

But she's a brilliant character who had plenty of storylines 2008-2011 and now is like a lost girl walking round being seduced by lee, she's played by such a good actress, they're not doing enough with her character!

Nancy is the obvious one.

I don't think Lauren needs more storylines, just better ones. Jac Jossa is more capable than just falling into bed with a different bloke every few months*.

Lola hasn't had a good storyline in a while. Jay either. But these two will most likely be central when Ben shows up.

* = Unless it's me.

Out of the characters mentioned in this thread, I'd say Jay has cruelly been underused since Ben left in 2012. Maybe with Ben returning soon, he could be used more again. He's a good little actor.

Not really, she had potential once but now just swings from one fella to the next. She's become very tedious and cheap. They should axe her to name way for someone interesting.
