Why does the show really lack them currently? Scenes like Ian and Jane, Dot, Max, Sharon, Kat and Alfie etc... Going for a drink down the vic of a night, and the Carter's appearing briefly for a few weeks, only serving customers, or scenes in the chippy with Ian chatting to one of the customers, and happy conversations between dot and another character in the launderette? They've all been replaced by really long scenes with some really depressing and boring conversations, I feel like the show lacks normal life! The only time we really see the vic of a night is a forced Carter special occasion, and all the new characters?:/
but when they did normal over the summer people complained about the lack of storylines. edit in fact they did normal everyday stuff with the musical bingo and loads of ppl are complaining about it |

EE does have 'normal, everyday scenes', like people on the market, in the cafe, Ronnie & Roxy having banter at their house, characters interacting etc. I thought the bingo was light hearted tbf it's nice to have tense episodes but also light hearted ones
I find that EE is becoming more like the early 2000's again, watch any episode from 2000-2005 & they have 'normal, everyday scenes' too. |

The scenes with Charlie/Ronnie/Roxy and Aleks were lovely, warm hearted, every day scenes. As were the scenes in the Vic with the older characters letting their hair down and having some fun. Tam and Nancy's friendship is natural, and at last we see him joining the land of the living.

I'd rather have dramatic laden scenes than scenes that to do nothing to advance storyline EE. That was the main problem of LN's tenure. Most scenes were filler and too everyday.
EE's trademark is gritty dramatic storylines . I would watch CS if you want more love and warmth. |

I loved the musical bingo night!
I thought it was a nice, light hearted contrast to Linda's rape storyline! ![]() ![]() |

I think they've got the balance right personally. Sometimes it's hugely impressive the way that a single script for one episode can all tie together and push everything forward from a story point of view. But I definitely think that is nicely intertwined with the everyday moments... everyday moments that don't become too saccharine.
