So another 2 year storyline EE
So it looks like Ronnie or Vincent killed Charlie come on lets be honest its not really a huge secret.
But in typical DTC style. This storyline will drag will get blocked a lot then get bought up out of nowhere. DTC has said Halloween will get amazing. Don't mean anything to me nothing will come to an end. |

It does kind of feel as if everything is open ended at the moment.
Don't get me wrong, I do really like Eastenders, but when was the last time there was actually a conclusion to a big storyline? |

Jesus.
It's been one episode. What is wrong with a mystery? Personally I quite like the idea of it never being mentioned again and remaining a mystery. I seem to remember a thread on here where people were suggesting stories for the show and someone mentioned it would be interesting if a character just disappeared one day. Many were fond of the idea. Now you have it and people are kicking off. |

It just seems to be that way at the moment. |

The exit seemed similar to That of Paul Truemen.

To be honest they did conclude the Lucy storyline. The reveal started another story, it's not really the same storyline.

So what would people prefer? A one episode storyline? This is the first episode of the plot of his disappearance. We have NO idea whether this will be resolved in a week, a month, a year or ever.
What we do know is DTC likes his cameos and comebacks so I wouldn't be surprised if we see Charlie again at some point. However I for one would not be disappointed if we never found out. As for Jake Moon and Paul Truman we know a hitman intercepted both (Paul's drove him away from the Square and Patrick identified his body), so I don't see the similarities. If anything, the closest comparison is when Carl made Shirley disappear for a few months, and we all know how that ended. I'm an EastEnders fan and quite happy to see it criticised but this is just ridiculous. It feels like bashing for bashings sake. |

I agree plus if they killed him off onscreen there'd be moaning about another unnecessary killing.

It's like people would've preferred another black cab exit. At least this is an interesting exit for the character.

So, you're not a fan of long-running drama? When, in real life, do things just go away after a few weeks? They live with you. Long running stories, like the Who killed Lucy? storyline, are my favourite because they burn slowly and you can invest. Some work, some don't.
EastEnders is a show that we assume will never end. I mean, it may one day, but until we know about a finite point it's working towards, then surely we want it to keep surprising us? I wouldn't mind ever finding out what happened to Charlie Cotton. I think we will, but it could be a story revisited in five years or so, who knows? Or even when Matthew's older? Always the possibility. Plus, sorry, but Dominic Treadwell-Collins has dragged this show up from its knees, given it a bed for the night, fed and watered it and allowed it to grow. He's given it spice and verve again. Not like how it used to be, but we'll never get that back. His show is the best show for this age. We may have guessed about the Jane twist, for example, but it was never spoiled. |

I think people also dislike the damage it's done to existing characters.
We also know Vincent is dodgy but haven't yet found out an awful lot about him. Ronnie using someone to dispose of someone is hardly character assassination. She's child obsessed and he threatened to take her baby away from her. It's totally IN character. She went to great lengths to get rid of Nick. Lying to Dot perhaps is out of character, but I think Ronnie would do anything to protect those she loves. |

Is it bad I think he's alive? Seems like they're trying to make it too obvious in a way that makes me think they haven't actually killed him

Clearly alive under DTC but a future producer may want a body to be found to give Ronnie, Vincent and Dot a storyline. In terms of legacy, I don't think the show will kill off another child of Nick Cotton. I guess we still have Dotty / Kirsty out there. |

Lying to Dot perhaps is out of character, but I think Ronnie would do anything to protect those she loves. But the Ronnie we saw tonight was different. Phil was going to kill Carl but Ronnie felt bad about it, so told Phil to let him go. She warned Carl to never come back. When she killed him. it was self defence, not pre-meditated murder. She has always had this icy front, but underneath she had morals a tleast. She was just hurt, so her front was a way of protecting herself. Now she is an unflinching stone hearted creature who doesn't seem bothered about anybody or anything. |
