Which is why I would axe Babe, Lee, Nancy, Les & Pam. They serve no purpose

1) Kush. A weak character, played by a weak actor. His likability just isn't enough sadly and he feels more like an Emmerdale or Corrie character.

2) Lee Carter. He is just awful, sorry!

3) Tina Carter. A capable actress, but I just don't think she's needed.

4) Charlie Cotton. He had heaps of potential, but DTC took him down the predictable route and now he's been ruined. The actor is also quite average and doesn't do dramatic scenes very well.

5) Either Fatboy/Jay. Swaying more towards Fatboy as Jay has more links as opposed to Fatboy, Fatboy hasn't been relevant since 2012. When I watch him on-screen, I keep seeing an actor clutching desperately to his job. I can see the next EP swinging the axe on him and I certainly won't question it!

Roxy - It seems like writers don't know what to do with her, her storyline always involves love triangles and failed relationships.

Kush - He has a great backstory but I actually find his whole 'chasing after Shabnam' saga annoying. His character is all about pleasing people, especially the Masoods.

(Charlie) - I say that in brackets because he had potential until they dragged the character down into the affair storyline.

Big Mo - She could be classed as an extra in some ways but she's not really relevant anymore. She is an ancillary character so it wouldn't be a huge loss to axe her.

Lola - She doesn't do very much and adds very little to the show. I guess it gives Billy a family, but other than that I don't see where the character is going.

Some interesting choices... But sadly, I agree with Lola. Though she appears to be popular on here, she never really did take-off in my opinion (even when taking centre-stage) DTC hasn't developed her either which is a pity, but she feels too generic of a character, so if she was axed, I really wouldn't be too phased.

Also, Roxy has been at a crossroads for too long, but I do like it when Roxy and Ronnie are at each other's throats, only if it is because they have an electric on-screen chemistry. Charlie is just a wet blanket and I sincerely hope that he's on his way out of the show. The actor is a musician in real ife, so the chances of him being in it for the long-haul is unlikely, unless of course, the actor has suggested otherwise...

BIB: Why do you think Kush feels more like an Emmerdale or Corrie character? I haven't watched Corrie for years but I love Emmerdale and am interested to know why you think that.

Because he's a very friendly happy-go-lucky type of guy... There are very few, if any (perhaps Alfie) I mean, I could see him heading to the Rovers with Tyrone, Tim, Jason and Kevin and it feelin more believable than him trying to fit in with the lads on the Square... A bizarre statement I guess, but I always feel this way when I'm watching him. DTC is very weak at introducting characters and aftermaths in my opinion!

Yep. I like Kush, but he just feels like he is in the wrong show and I am enjoying Corrie more than EastEnders latetly and this is coming from an avid fan of EastEnders!

I'd add that Dean should leave once the rape concludes also.
