Would it sit easily with you if Carls murder in EastEnders was "forgotten" by tptb?

Yes.

Eastenders isn't a moral compass. It's a plot-driven drama series and should remain as such.

Its about striking a balance though.I strongly suspect the plot was changed because Sam Womack agreed to stay,I dont think the original intention was for Ronnie to get away with it.On that basis I think saying its been purely plot driven is laughable.

I think it's been dealt with for now.

However, I don't think forgotten. It'll rear it's head again at some point, in some form.

I hope they do their best to forget it happened. would be best all round. not the greatest or strongest storyline at all. as for the character complete waste. they brought him back for kirsty yet the plot was a damb squib and he moved on quick.

No. It probably would had Ronnie not already got away extremely leniently with kidnapping, and had behaved differently when she got out. She is a control freak who needs locking up again.

I find Roxy much better when Ronnie isn't around.

I don't think we've seen the last of Carl's family, surely they wouldn't just leave it, surely it will resurface a some point in the future.

I know Ronnie's not in her right mind and it was self defence but it's still murder!

I wouldn't like to see Ronnie locked up, I don't think that's the answer, she needs extensive counselling and love and understanding, something she's probably never had, she shouldn't have taken Tommy but she wasn't in her right mind was she?

To be fair id forgotten about, so most casual listeners prob would have also , they can easily leave this until she decides to leave the show then sort it out then

As long as he's thoroughly dead, I'm happy.

I hope we haven't seen the last of them simply because it's stupid and unrealistic for a character to be murdered and have absolutely no follow up, even if it character was as irrelevant as Carl White.

If they leave it too late though, the public won't even recognize Carl's family should they return, most people have probably forgotten Carl ever existed already. So if they're planning on doing it they should really get a bit of a move on.

It's a huge suspension of reality if the family just leave it and I really want Ronnie to go over permanently to The Dark Side and flip her lid. I want a moonlit transformation with storms, lashes of mascara cascading down her red dress, the earth cracking open, gut wrenching screams, a mad organist, the works. Let her be great instead of quivering over fellas like everyone else.

Thank you! If they stick her in a Charlie/Jack love triangle I will be most displeased.

Totally agree,I cant help but feel the story has been changed .I could be wrong but I feel Norah Whites story was curtailed.

It was frustrating the way it just didn't go anywhere.

I know it just doesnt make any sense at all for it to have been planned to go nowhere.

It'll be forgotten until she decides to leave again, then it'll be used as her exit. It happens in real life too: people not getting caught until years later.

It does if Philth is involved in it - none of the storylines with him 'owning' people are remotely realistic.

I wouldn't call 2 yrs in prison lenient.

The judge obvs had compassion for the circumstances in which the kidnapping took place. It wasn't a holding someone at gun point ransom note type kidnapping.

Surely his body would have been found by now! It's ridiculous!
