Eastenders are now lacking Teens After Liam and Cindy departed. Ironic as under Kirkwood, teens dominated .

Amy, Bob, the Carters little baby who I have forgot his name, Denny the child none ever sees, Matthew, these are all the future teens of Walford.

I couldn't care less about the teens. The older characters are more interesting to me.

Abi, Ben, Rebecca (who is largely unseen), Jay and Paul are the only teens left (I wouldn't class Whitney, Fats or Lauren as teens) and I do think its a shame. There used to be solid friendship groups within the teens and now the only real one is Abi/Ben/Jay which I think will fall apart eventually anyway fairly soon. I think axing Lola and Liam was a big mistake as the characters had far much more to give and both were given poor exits. Its also a shame as with Liam gone, there are no Butchers left on the square so feels a bit like the end of an era

New characters will probably replace the likes of Cindy/Lola and Liam.

I think DTC is focusing on babies right now so they eventually grow into teenagers he can claim that there were his creations *rolleyes smiley*. I think we do need new strong young characters in the show. I can't believe they got rid of Cindy

Hahaha! During the Kirkwood era it was TOO MANY TEENS. They can't win!

There's definitely a lack now though.

I've got no interest in them so it's good to me, it's disappointing I suppose the likes of lola and Johnny left and were stuck with the likes of Whitney and Lee, but they do with losing a few more younger characters like tamwar, fatboy for starters

I'm not bothered tbh I much prefer the older characters. Teens add very little to the show.

Ian and Sharon were both once teens on the square, as were stacey, martin and Sonia

they will have to bring in completely new character to fit the demographic otherwise as they age there will be massive gaps

Jay's 21 so can't really class him as a teen and both Abi and Ben will be 20 next year, so that pretty much leaves Rebecca

I have know clue what Paul's age is.

Claudette will probably have some teenagers she has previously fostered turning up to visit her.

It's a middle aged soap now probably the soap with the oldest cast now which is somewhat ironic compared to a couple of years ago

I keep forgetting Jay/Abi/Ben are older than how I think they are, still used to seeing them as kids

I think was confirmed either on screen or an interview Paul is 18/19

Other than a bit of realism of course.

just goes to show people moan whatever happens, people moan when there are two many, now people are moaning there is not enough.

We do have some younger adult characters, Paul, Ben, Abi, Jay, Whitney & Lee, Tam & Nancy (off the top of my head) whilst true they are not teenagers, they are still young.

Meanwhile Amy & Lily, & Jade to come I dont think its quite panic stations just yet.
