EE: Am I the only one here who dislikes
Shirley Carter?
She is a completely vile person who dried to drown her own kid, abandoned three of her other children including one with cystic fibrosis, sold out her friend's memory by blackmailing Phil and when Sharon was in a critical condition she tried to win back Phil. And they're only a few of the inexcusable things she has done. Does this character have any redeeming qualities. And I never seen such a despicable character that was loved by such a high portion of fans. |

Super Shirley is great. Why should we care about her kids? Dean is a creep and we never saw the fictional one who died. All I care about is Shirley delivering her acid one liners that always make me laugh.

I love her .Granted she was a terrible parent but it's not only men who abandon their families and aren't cut out for the job.

I love Shirley, she's a complex, multilayered but flawed character. Love how she tells it how it is and her one liners are brilliant.
Team Shirley.She is well liked outside of DS but if you dislike her, you are in the right place haha. |

"Am I the only one here who dislikes Shirley Carter?"
That's a bit like asking "Am I the only person in Ukraine who dislikes Putin?" |

I love Shirley!
She is strong and she is vulnerable. She is imperfect and has made mistakes, some of which she regrets and is trying to set right. In my opinion, she does some of the things she does because of something from her childhood, which we have yet to discover fully, and she doesn't want to get hurt. I think, if she could face her past, forgive herself and her family, start to like herself, then she could move on and become a nicer person to others. I also love her one-liners!

Very few people are neutral about Shirley Carter. They either love her or loath her. I loathe her but not as much as I loathe Tracy Barlow. |

She was a lot more likable when Heather was around, I think.
The backstory of when she left the kids seems to have been retconned to try and make her look better. I dislike her, and dislike the domination of the Carters. |

Linda is a good actress, is perfect for Eastenders and thats why I tolerate the character.
Its odd because Ian and Phil do bad things and I can forgive them, but with Shirley its a different story. Maybe its because they should have explored her backstory more years ago, but they should have come up with something less contrived and repetitive. How many times have we had stories where the baby is taken off the mother |

She needs too have another showdown with Rainie, both Linda Henry and Tanya Franks are very good actresses.
