killing off pat
killing off lucy, even worse now that Kathy is coming back and ben hardy quit
killing off derek branning, he promised a lot in his early scenes and with his up coming feud with phil, but that was ditched to bring in joey and alice! awful decisions that still annoys me to this day
last but not least killing off Michael moon especially afer giving him so little to work with until he was used for Janine's exit, the actor quit but leave the bloody door open! another dreadful decision, lucy would have became one of EastEnders biggest characters, but dtc doesn't appear to like young females.

Killing off Derek was one of the best things that they ever did, bringing him in the first place was an awful decision. I try and wipe him from my memory.

Killing Pat

Turning Dean into a rapist

Bringing back Sharon

Pairing Ronnie with Charlie

Putting Vincent with Kim and having him live with the Foxes and Patrick.

The block storytelling so that either your favourites are gone for weeks or the characters you can't stand hog the screen for far too long.

I know that's six but I couldn't choose between them.

EDIT The Who Shagged Kat storyline that went on forever. That's seven sorry

1 by a long way: no interesting story lines for females other than making them pregnant. I was already angry about this and then surprise surprise, Lauren came back pregnant. Obviously females have little else to offer.
2. Making Dean a rapist
3. Who shagged Kat
4. Kat had twins... But didn't remember... But this never came up again before she left (female characters apparently aren't immune from stupid pregnancy story lines even if they occur in the past)

Killing off Pat.
Killing off Michael.
Sharon's big 'revenge'.
The Moon brothers.

Honourable mentions.

Continuing the Philth's total invincibility by weakening every male character he ever comes into contact with.

Block storytelling.

Making Alfie the one who burnt the Slater house and not Aleks

Getting Kat and Alfie back together but then splitting them and reuniting them, making them lottery winners but then giving Alfie a brain tumor

In fact the whole decimation of Alfie's character full stop! 😂💩

Kat and Derek, Alfie and Roxy, Ronnie and Charlie/Roxy and Charlie

Not giving Kat a little girl instead of two boys and then calling them Bert and Ernie and then making Zoe's twin a male and all. 💩💩💩

Dean raping Linda

Sharon marrying Phil

Bobby killing Lucy

Adding characters that I just can't warm to, such as Vincent, Les and Claudette

Introducing Donna and Shrimpy, then doing absolutely nothing with them

Getting rid of David Wicks

Killing Pat, Michael and Lucy
Having Bobby as the killer
The rape storyline
Bringing back Martin played by someone who isn't Martin and making the character an arsehole.
Bonus one, introducing the truly terrible Vincent/Claudette/Kim unit.
