EE: f you could replace all the soap "actors" with proper actors
If you could get rid of rubbish actors on EE and replace them with proper actors , who can actually act, who would you choose?
Karl Howman -replace him with Timothy Spall Jake Wood - replace him with Damian Lewis Perry Fenwick - replace him with Gary Oldman Danny Dyer - Charlie Creed-Miles Matt Danglyo - Toby Kebbel Shane Richie - Ralph Fiennes Charlie Cotton - replace him with Paddy Considine God, imagine how great EastEnders would be if they cast proper actors. |

If only EE could cast actors of that calibre. Or any soap, for that matter
![]() I'd bring in Ray Winstone for Phil Mitchell .

If that's how you feel maybe soaps aren't for you?
Like any medium soaps have good and bad actors. Maybe more on the bad side but they're not devoid of good ones. For every Khali Best there's a Sam Womack and for every Gary Oldman there's a Keanu Reeves. |

I wouldn't say that soap actors weren't 'proper actors'. In all areas of the 'business' you will get good and not so good actors.

Karl Howman is a 'proper' actor - .he's been acting since the 1970s. I've seen him on other TV programmes and in theatre in the West End. He has also been in several films.

I wouldn't want any of my fave actors to in any soap at present, the writing is terrible and certainly not worthy of a decent actor.

Like any medium soaps have good and bad actors. Maybe more on the bad side but they're not devoid of good ones. . But when Sheila Hancock (from similar pedigree) played opposite Martin Kemp the comparison was less so because Martin is a naturally good actor. On the other hand, Danny Dyer came from being a really bad movie actor to just a bad soap actor and I felt that his 'style' of acting fit better with soap because the standard is generally lower anyway. |

As they insist on pushing Dean to centre stage at every opportunity, I'd love to replace Matt Di Angelo with somebody who can act. He is just embarrassingly bad. And as it appears we're all meant to love Dean and forgive his crime because he's a good looking (slightly deluded, poor lamb) bad boy, how about somebody like Colin Farrell?!

Soap actors are "proper actors."
How offensive to suggest otherwise. |

I wouldn't replace any of the EE cast because they all do a brilliant job especially Shane Richie!

![]() I still have plenty of loathing left for Alfie, don't worry (Shane Richie not so much as I actually think he's a decent actor, just hate the character). |

These actors are no more 'proper' than soap actors are, they are drama and film actors and all that differs is the genre!

He never used to bother me, I just thought he was crap and bland. But now he's centre stage in this god awful rape storyline, his shortcomings are too much to ignore. At least with previous castings based on looks over talent they didn't have to do much more than get involved in a love triangle with Whitney!
I still have plenty of loathing left for Alfie, don't worry (Shane Richie not so much as I actually think he's a decent actor, just hate the character). I have to admit to disliking both Alfie and Shane

Nah. 'Proper' actors are overrated imo.
