I understand that the rape story hasn't been dealt with as well as it could have been but I don't see the need to constantly bash certain characters, they are only soap characters after all.

The DS Carter bashing thread
2 of 3
voted for Shirley. She is the most despicable Carter. Hate that woman so much. She really grates on me and she gets TOO MUCH airtime. She got 3 duff duffs last week 
Mick annoys me a LOT as he makes it all about him.

It was Multi vote in case you didn't realise
I votedMick and Linda.
Mick
Pretty much the same about you and is going down the same route that made
Alfie unlikeable. Linda mainly down to how judgemental and two faced she is aswell as the fact I've never warmed to her. Elaine if I hadn't missed her off also would of got one. She's far too ott!

Looking forward to seeing her arrive but not pleased about the fact Dean is her father.

While I get why you have done this, personally I think calling something a bashing thread is just asking for trouble.
Trying to segregate posters will just create even more animosity. In an ideal world it would be much better if we could all respect each other's opinions, sadly this seems like a big ask. And the fact you want people to vote for a baby an an unseen child character as characters who grate is perplexing to be honest.

Roya was made deans child as an extra for the storyline. That might had more of a downer for when she does arrive eventually. With Jimmy is the was there really any pint to him being created just for one episode then never appear
Or referenced again.
I get your point and maybe the title could be better put.

Brilliant post.
I guess I wouldn't mind them if they weren't shoved in our faces all the time. DTC really needs to stop overusing his favourite characters which are Shirley, Mick and Linda. I actually like Babe, Sylvie and Lee but they aren't used too much.

... and they've got two and four votes respectively
I can't even remember whoJimmy is he's been that inconsequential and Roya has only been mentioned a few times. You couldn't make it up
Apart from that though I can see why people are getting peed off by the Carter overload. I think they're a good family but there's no getting away from the fact that they're overused and like the old saying goes: "familiarity breeds contempt". Give other characters a go DTC!

I think Jimmy is Jimbo Shirley's son who died.
She left her kids with Kevin who apparently wasn't their dad!

Yeah, named after his brother. Pointless creation imo.

Is he? I don't know!
I know Shirl had a Jimbo and left him with Kev and he died!
So it looks like Shirley STILL believes Dean at the end of May...
A script snippet from the BBC website..
On TV: Thursday 21st May
Dean: What do you make of Shabnam Masood?
Shirley: Stuck up cow. Just like her mother.
When will Shirley wake up?!? Shirley is still in denial for at least 5 months!!

The rape story has ruined Dean but even if he goes to prison and charged I hope he appears recurring in prison scenes. Far more interesting then mick. I think seeing how families of the rapist reaction is good to explore but something needs to change it soon.
The Carters are the worst family in the history of EastEnders. Dour, isolated, bland, boring, far too many of them, far too many plots and omnipresent. They are also a very self-indulgent family since DTC based them on his own. The majority have absolutely no personalities at all - they are literally vessels for plots.
Danny Dire and his awful Cockney rhyming slang; Kelly Bright - an actress I had high hopes for but she is capable of nothing but gurning and frowning; Babe Carter - loathsome; Sylvie, Lee and Johnny - pointless; Dean - dreadful non-actor; Nancy - she has no life! Her whole life is stuck in that pub with no friends, no hobbies and no desire to look any different with that hair and that tracksuit she wears EVERY SINGLE DAY.
The episode where Linda went to the police about the rape could've been brilliant, but it was the most endless, boring four hours in television history (Actually it was half-an-hour, but it felt like four). A rape reveal on Christmas Day is just pure sensationalism and soap at its irresponsible, trashy worst. The Shirley being Mick's mum reveal just got lost in the haze.
Whoever takes over EastEnders after Dominic Treadwell-Carter should bin the whole bloody lot of them and pretend they never happened.

A sublime post. Sublime I say of the most awe-inspiring magnitude. I commend you sir/madam for your honesty and bravery in speaking this truth. Shall I bow or kneel? I am not worthy.

. I gave them a chance when it wasn't cool to hate them. For me Christmas was the last straw and they scuppered all their chances and just became a nuisance to my viewing pleasure.
