They need to change the actors who play them first. How can you give big Storylines to 2 of the worst actors on the show?
Nancy/Lee STILL haven't had their own storylines!!

So even though she wasn't directly involved in the car crash you include it because she had a small number of scenes with Dot around the time she first heard about Nick's "death", nine months before the car crash aired on screen.
What even?

Exactly. The, and I use this term loosely, logic baffled me also.
Nancy is 21 has no job other than pulling pints behind the bar and has had the same hairstyle since day one.
Nancy and Lee have been given nothing by DTC- criminal really.

The one who needs a storyline is the likes of Jay who is WAY overdue a storyline of his own, no offence to people that like them but Lee and Nancy are mediocre at the best of times.

To be fair so has Lola for the past four years
Seems the hair and make up department have a relaxed approach to hair on there with some of the cast barnets of late.

I agree. Jay deserves a storyline of his own, first and foremost.
Lee and Nancy are two of my favourite DTC characters and they are the saving grace of their immediate family, in my opinion, but the failure to give them any substantial storylines are part of the reason I have turned off.

Dot's had near enough the same hairstyle since 1985. Nancy could be used better but I'm failing to see the point in mentioning hairstyles Vas.

Peter, Lucy, Sonia, Martin, Lola, Ben, Lauren etc - all seem to be (or have been) defined largely by who their parents are/were rather than anything else. It seems to be a problem Eastenders has over the years where it struggles to take young actors/characters and evolve them beyond being 'the child off...' spare parts.”

I agree with this. Yes EE emphasises faaamleeey and that's part of EE's character but I think some of the younger cast need more stories that are nothing to do with their parents.

So really she has been in less stories than those she hasn't been in....in which case you have totally contradicted yourself. It's laughable the extent to which people will go just to have a dig at the once overexposed carters, who for the last 3 months havnt been overexposed AT ALL!
You really can't please some people.”

Shes played roles in dot/nick/charlie/yvonne
Stans death
Shes also supporting in kim/denise scenes
Roya
Her stories all happen at the same time and she plays supporting roles. Shes almost never off screen.

She was in one or two scenes with Dot at the beginning of that story - she wasn't a major player.
She supports Kim/Denise but they also support her too.
Stan was her father and Roya is her granddaughter, of course she would be involved.
the less Lee there is on my screen, the better, he is a dreadful actor
Nancy I can take or leave, she is better when she is away from her family IMO
