Spot the irony in this post ladies and gentlemen.

You don't have a problem when people make thread apon thread slagging off SB. In fact you take great pleasure and delight sticking the boot in.

So because he really likes Nancy and Nancy really likes him and they have sex, it means that he is sleazy. Grow up!!

The "facts" are that EE are lumbered with him? No, that is just plain silly. He is on EE because they employ him and want him there. If the day comes when he is not wanted then they will just not renew his contract.

As for the "poor Nancy" comment, the script clearly shows a mutual affection between the two, and it is Nancy that suggests getting it on in the back of the vehicle. Lucky Dexter!

that's not irony.

by the way, I don't know who you are so it's weird you seem to know what I post about. also as I'm far from the only one who criticises Blackburn so I don't know why you're targeting me. my criticism of Blackburn is also quite mild compared to some.

my point was, I'm not at all a fan of dexter or Blackburn but someone who reports threads simply because they don't like seeing those threads is ridiculous.

Its not about being a fan of such anf such. Its about the rubbish written in the threads.
The forums are clogged up enough without having the same tedious hate threads. There are 2 Dexter threads which could jave easily just been one. I bet if this was Max or Mick who were getting abused you would not care how many got deleted. As its Dextet who cares eh?

Well, while those views expressed are utterly abhorrent and moronic, he is entitled to his opinion and to express it in public. You either agree with freedom of speech or you do not.

For me the ONLY restrictions which should ever be applied to free speech in any public forum are whether or not the comments in question are obscene, threatening, defamatory or if they reveal private information about people.

A comment being merely offensive should not, under any circumstances, result in a ban.

I was wondering where they both went. That's a shame, well at least you still got me to brighten your day.


On topic, get off Dexter's back lol. He's not that bad, he's not even speaking that fast now. I think you're just trying to make another problem. If anything it was Nancy being sleazy, she went to look for him remember?

Yeah and he has an X in his name which proves he is really cross. He's a witch. Burn him *eye roll*

Dexter has a long way to go before he is anywhere near as sleazy as Max Branning!!

I don't find him sleazy but I do find Dexter a pointless character. He is obviously being paired off with Nancy as a last ditch attempt to save the character but I don't see any real chemistry between them.

If he left tomorrow I would not miss him. I think he could have been a good character but was miscast.

As we know that isn't always followed.

I never said that the poster wasn't entitled to their opinion, of course freedom of speech is paramount. For me making hateful comments in the way he has is far worse than a crude or "offensive" joke, that's the point I was making. It's people like this poster who use the freedom of speech argument when in reality all they are doing is peddling hatred. Do you see what I mean? I know posters on other forums who have been banned for challenging people like this in a perfectly reasonable way, I don't understand the logic behind that.


And I never said that poster should be banned.

Yeah, absolutely, I wasn't intending my post as a critique of your position. It was directed and intellectually and morally illiterate forum moderators you tend to find across the internet.

The people who get themselves into these positions are often the least suitable people imaginable.

I know.


I agree.

As for some posters they seem to type before using their brain, the nonsense people write is astonishing. Personally if I were a BNP supporter and Holocaust denier I wouldn't post it on a public forum in the first place, but that's the level of idiocy we're dealing with here.

My concern is that he will damage Nancy as a character. I wasn't a fan when she came in but have really warmed to her of late. She is the one of the younger cast who sees below the superficial as her lovely friendship with Tanwar is showing. Her dress sense is a visable sign to audience that she is an individual. This linking with Dexter is a mistake but I can see why on paper it fits with her character. The sooner they can bring another ethnic family into EE the better. 2015 hopefully. Dexter can then be ditched.

Lumbered with him Can they not sack him if he is so bad. Why on earth is it sad for Nancy I like Dexter but can appreciate others don't. However I cannot stand Mick but don't think 'Poor Linda' because she has to work with him. What a bizarre attitude.

For all those people complaining about other members on here making comments that they're completely 100% allowed to make, instead of showing them the DS exit door, how about you consider not letting it hit you on the way out..

This forum is welcome to everyone - not just a small gang of selfish members. Stop clogging up the forum with your sickly nostalgic memories of how things used to be. THINGS CHANGE. Deal with it..

Who's that directed at?

I think the sheer amount of positive views and attitude invested in Nancy by some of the audience on here simply hasn't been demonstrated. It's more like wishful thinking IMO. All of the young ones are friends with Tamwar. They hinted at a little bit more with Nancy and Tam that's all, and not a lovely innocent little bit more, but the snog with Dexter has put paid to that or is the start of a love triangle.

I don't understand how Dexter, a character in a TV show can damage another character. Surely if any destruction was afoot that would be down to the writers and so on.

As for getting rid of Dexter, though your low opinions of him seem to form the majority on here they are not necessarily the majority elsewhere and I say thank goodness

Dexter has already damaged Cora which infuriates the hell out of me.

How is that?

Does that matter?

I think Cora Cross would have been axed by DTC had Lorraine Newman not created the Ava storyline

Ann Mitchell is a well known and respected Actress but DTC is either not interested in Cora or Ann herself is only part time now. Ann is contracted to next July as she became a permanent character in July 2011.

I saw a comment saying that Cora's actress might have been a good Babe or Elaine. Babe maybe, but I can't see Elaine's huge matriarchal loving grandma presence coming across quite so well with breath laced heavily with fag ash, whiskey, and shame.

Lumping Cora in with Dexter, you never see Cora with Lauren & Abi, if Cora knew Max was dating Summerhayes she would be livid.

Newman caused Cora's downfall by bringing in Dexter & Sam because Ava and Cora never really got off the ground, Dexter & Sam were awful casting choices but DTC axed Ava & Sam instead of Dexter & Sam leaving Cora without any of her daughters in the Square.

Cora in my book deserves to be in the show and Ann Mitchell deserves a bit more respect from Dominic Treadwell- Collins.
