EE - DTC: "We're in the middle of the rape plot...there is an ending..."
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...e-to-tell.html
DTC says that there is an ending to the Dean/Linda plot and they're in the middle of it now. He also said that he gets angry tweets about it, but says that people should be angry because they've portrayed real life with how there won't be a trail etc. They're in the MIDDLE of it?? |

Easily DTCs biggest mistake is this whole rape plot

It's not the lack of trial that's bothering me, it's the terrible writing. A fraction of consistancy wouldn't go amiss.

I actually understand him when he says it is realistic for things to go on for months and I even get the whole idea of why they're keeping Dean around to shine a light on the fact that charming, ordinary guys can get away with it,, but I just find it so uncomfortable to watch the victim continually get taunted and attacked and to hear people continually make excuses for the rapist and his supporters.
The original idea of the storyline was good, but the victim has been sidelined in it now so I just don't know what a satisfactory endpoint can be. |

I think this was quite clear wasn't it? Let's just be happy that the end has been planned.

I don't think he realised just how depressing and frustrating it would be for the viewers to watch.

Sad thing is it's hardly even about Linda anymore. It's the silly family feud with Mick/Shirley/Dean going round in circles

BIB: He's said there will be justice, but the only justice there is is if Dean admits it and goes to the police. But then DTC is saying that he wants it to reflect real life, so that surely won't happen?
I suspect he will end up doing a public mea culpa, clearing Linda's reputation and then fleeing never to be seen again. They seem to be writing it like they want sympathy for poor widdle Dean so I imagine his exit will continue that trend. |

I am proud of DTC for portraying the rape story in this light, because these things sadly do happen. Many rape stories involve an outsider who sooner or later gets imprisoned or killed. This storyline involves a family member who hasn't been charged and that is a scenario that happens... I admit that even though these situations are long and painful which makes the story true to how things can be, I also understand why people are getting fed up of it, me included at times.
Carter overexposure and more secrets than Area 51 probably haven't helped people watch through this storyline considering all we have had thrown at us alongside it but I have faith that it will end soon enough and then we can be done with this whole chapter in the Carter story. If nothing else, its at least portraying what a terrible situation it can be for all involved if a rape occurs and it is commited by a family member and no legal action can be taken. |

Do we know when the conclusion is? Also is the secret child of Dean's part of this SL?
I am coming to the view that once all these Carter SL's are wrapped up then they should go into the background for a while. At the end of the day I want to see Justice for Linda and I agree with other's about the main focus is on Shirley choosing Dean or Mick. |

I understand his viewpoint, I just want Shirley to find out the truth now. If we are in the middle, how long do we have left??

It started last autumn I think so possibly months.
![]() Like others, I don't have a problem with DTC showing the realism of it but he making so many characters unlikeable through the story, I am just desperate for Shirley to discover the truth and for Mick to stop making it as though he is the rape victim and not Linda!. The lack of trial is fine but the consistency, the way it has been handled and the overegging of an addition 'who's the daddy' was too much. |

So it will end in October-ish, if we're in the middle of it?
Please don't let them have another miserable Christmas... Give this one to the Mitchell's. |

The rape storyline was one of the things that had me start watching EastEnders again; Kellie Bright is a wonderful actress, so I've sympathised with everything Linda has gone through. However recently, she has taken a backseat to the whole Dean/Mick/Shirley squabble, and that has harmed the story. I was hoping for a conclusion soon but DTC's statement makes it seem like we have more.

True to life doesn't necessarily mean exciting to watch, hence why we have soaps to escape to. |
