Ordinary episodes (Filler) can be awful under DTC and there the worst ordinary episodes the soap has ever had IMO. Tonight's episode proved this! What an awful hour of soap. Awful!
You only have to look back to 2001 to see what a normal episode should be like... We all spend a lot of time moaning about how had ordinary episodes can be, so how would YOU like them and what would YOU do to improve them? .

Tap dancing penguins. Go back to 3 episodes a week.

There's no such thing as an ordinary episode.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see EastEnders in the thread title. Ignore. |

Have a little bit of continuity. EastEnders has three types of episodes;
+ Filler episode + Carter episode + The odd gem (last appearance - New Years Day) Why not merge all three? It's as if half the cast are contracted to never set foot in an episode which has Mick and Linda in. |

How about a simple method like Emmerdale and Corrie do? Have a few popular characters putting the world to rights in the corner of the pub/cafe and discussing whatever and making us laugh! Nothing to do with any major storylines whatsoever!
But it is entertaining all the same! EE need to learn a few lessons from its elder soaps! |

Put some effort into the lesser used characters for a start. How are such episodes meant to be interesting when DTC clearly has his favourites on the show and neglects the others?
That said some of them like Donna are naff regardless of how much time (or not) she gets. Likewise despite the Carters in the spotlight, I find Lee a boring spare part. |

EE do have issue with their filler episodes on average they are rather dull and disjointed because they normally use characters we haven't seen in months or are rarely use which leads to the problem of it being crap and not making much sense half the time.
