Who is likely to be edged out or squuezed for storylines amongst the younger female cast in the next few years?

For me I think the inevitable squeeze is likely to hurt /effect the most Jacqueline Jossa and Natalie Cassidy

I think Maddie Hill as Nancy is seen as a rising star and good bet for the future and I think theres already hints we will see more of her storyline wise.

I think they have slow burn plans for Rakhar as Shabnam,I do sense they have a story for her moreso than with Sonia.

I think tpth highly value Danielle Harold very highly as an unloud valuable reliable gem who has a future as part of the Mitchell dynamic playing Lola.

I think were starting to see Shina McGarty given more airtime and storylines consisently.

Lacey Turners status is established and I think Mimi Keene is tptb investment and hope for the future.

Because under the loose definitiin of younger females in the cast and characterwise I think Sonia would fall into that definition.

Perhaps I worded this badly .

When I say squeezed for storylines I mean who will be squeezed OUT-IE Who will struggle for storylines.

If people are understanding the wording and intention behind my poll question correctly LOL then I definitely dont agree with the votes that Danielle Harold will be squeezed for storylines.Quite the opposite,I think their building her to be a long time significant "stayer" on the show and Bens return will surely give her a storyline.

Shabnam and Nancy are long overdue proper storylines of their own.

Indeed they most certainly are and Im expecting that this need will be met and so this combined with Laceys return,Shonas resurgence and Mimis rising star that makes me think Jacqueline and Natalie longterm will struggle for big storylines.

I think Stacey, Nancy, Cindy and (apart from Jacqueline's pregnancy) Lauren are in the strongest positions of those females. Nancy, Cindy and Lauren are involved in big family dramas already. And we'd be stupid to think that Stacey's next big storyline isn't right around the corner.

I also have the feeling that Shabnam will be rising through the ranks again soon.

Whitney, Lola and Sonia will always have big involvement, but I don't forsee them leading big stories in the way that someone like Stacey inevitably will.

I honestly think Bens return could spark of big storylines for Lola in the coming years.

I'm also not the only person who asked?

So because I don't think a 30 year old woman is on a similar age level to women in their early 20's makes me disrespectful to you? Right then

IMatt1 I explained my reasoning early on in the thread.Im using the broadest meaning of the word younger as I feel they all likely to be jostling for space and storylines with each other when it comes to storyline conference/meeting time .It is what it is.Its not about me thinking a 30 year old is exactly the same as a teenager.

To my mind early 30s is young.

No it doesnt but it wasnt the fact of disagreement alone as to why I said that.

I have no wish to unproductively have a public row about posts that DS mods removed sorry.

Debateable,I would point to Lola being more mature than say Lauren and Kim being more immature than the much younger Nancy.Also soapland rules are anything but fixed they mutate and chop and change at superspeed!

Interesting thread. I'd say this is really indicative of how strong the young female cast actually is. They have some that have been huge characters for the show in Stacey and to a lesser extent Lauren, some talented actresses that have been there a long time but taken more of a backseat role (Lola & Whitney), and some untapped but incredibly promising talent for the future with Cindy and Nancy.

I'd say we'll look back on this era as one of the best young female casts Eastenders has ever had.

Thank You

Would you agree that some may get sidelined for quite a long while with Laceys almost certain longterm prominence and Mimis rising star which if handled right could see her reign quite prominently for a fair few years?
I see Mimi as potentially combining the talent of Lacey and the glamorous goodlooks of Jacqueline Jossa.

Probably, but that's always been the way. I'm a huge Mimi fan and think she has a lot more to give. Definitely one to watch for the future.

Hopefully we have a producer that doesn't just focus on his favourites to the detriment of everyone else (Birkwood ), but spreads storylines fairly evenly among an incredibly strong young female cast. I think Nancy has been dreadfully underused, but with the abundance of Carter plot threads thats probably for the best.

On a tangent, what does need some work IMO is the young male cast. I wish they'd axe Dexter and Fatboy and bring in someone interesting and new.

The contrast between the young male and fenale cast is quite striking.Their not crowded out with big characters on the male side.
I think even an EP whos more balanced in his stewardship would struggle not to sideline somebody with Lacey and Mimi on their cast and so many other females begging the writers to fulfill and unleash their characters potential.

Jacqueline Jossa, because the rest on the list just show up how poor a performer she actually is. Even Natalie Cassidy. They have a very capable young female cast at the minute and she and her on-screen sister are the weak links and have been rendered completely redundant by the upsurge of talent amongst their peers.
