Disappointed by the midnight announcement EE!
So instead of a return, or a new INTERESTING plot, we're going to have to put up with ANOTHER new character, and ANOTHER irrelevant market trader (such as Donna-_-) who will just sit there drinking with the other market traders having pointless conversations in the vic... 'Kush' is also hiding a secret... Well I can't say I'm surprised, everyone in Walford seems to be developing these tedious secrets, you never know he could turn out to be another member of the carters... Perhaps Shirley's secret son! Yes he may be good looking, but since when was EastEnders about sex appeal?

You don't have to create a thread for every 'EastEnders is so shit' thought you have.

Me too. I'd rather see some more old faces return to the show than yet another new character.

Blame the fansite that hyped it up, this was just meant to be a bit of casting news released with next week's spoilers. "Midnight announcements" are a product of this forum and fansites that hype up the news hours in advance instead of respecting the embargo.

Agree 100% about the new character Prefer to have old characters coming back like chrissie watts. He is only in it for the sex appeal that's all I am starting to feel disappointed with DTC

Why does every character need to have a dark secret...

This summer has been absolutely dreadful! Worst than Lorraine newman maybe! He should be utterly ashamed of himself, he could well and truly destroy the show of he carries on the way he is going, ratings are at an all time low, I don't think it's ever struggled to get 6 million at any point!

I'd much rather new characters than returning ones as they can help to move the show forward rather than relying on past glories.

[quote=cobwebsoup;74339177]I think he's doing a lot better than Lorraine Newman and ratings have been worse than they are now I think, but there is still a lot of room for improvement and the new characters and new Carters need to stop now or the show will be unrecognizable before long.
What it needs is someone who knows what they're doing, dtc is turning the show into a different show! It isn't EastEnders at all! Dreadful plots! Silly scenes! No connection between the cast! LN didn't make any big choices or do any big things, but the show still felt like EastEnders, there just wasn't anything going on! Dtc plots are dreadful! He's brought back a few characters, and the only good ones are jane and stacey, but he's brought in about 20! It's getting out of hand now! He needs to seriously sort things out, and give it a MASSIVE AUTUMN! |

The show needs new characters. It gets stale with all old ones.

OP, please share with us where we can also watch episodes of the show that are yet to air! Obviously you've seen the character on screen before all of us to make all those assumptions.
Don't be daft. We've not seen the character. We have no idea what stories he will have. It's ridiculous some of the threads that are put up here. All hyperbole fuelled rants about things we know next to nothing about. |

2014 has been infinitely better imo. It crossed 6m the other week.

Also, at one point, all the characters on the show were "new characters". We don't need constant returns of old characters. The show needs new faces.
What makes me laugh is it's the same people screaming and misusing the "Greatest Hits" quote by DTC who rally for everyone down to Tricky Dicky to return. |

I'm sorry but dtc has been at EastEnders for 8 months and has already introduced 20 characters? 11 carters, Les, Pam, Donna, aleks, charlie, Yvonne, terry and his mob! The show is getting more and more unrecognisable by the episode, so yes I would rather see legendary characters like grant and peggy and entertaining characters like zainab, sean, tanya return to our screen :/

I want to see new actors and new characters that can add something different to the show. How do you judge that the show is unrecognisable? It's a soap. The cast changes. When Tanya and Zainab were on the Square, the show was "unrecognisable" compared to what it was four years prior to that. New faces are the only reason the show has had 29 years on air. Fact is, Tanya and Sean were new faces in 2006. Zainab was a new face in 2007. Why can't Aleks or Pam or Charlie or Yvonne be entertaining on the show? Relying on past glories won't help the show forge a future. All characters start as new characters. It's the name of the game. |
