Actually, I think making Dean a rapist was a brave choice. Think about it, in real life there are people like this out there, they have family and friends and as they were growing up no one could have known what they would have turned into to. By using a character that we had seen on screen from a youngish age turn into this monster was clever. It may have ' ruined ' the character but it meant that people were able to invest in the storyline and the aftermath of characters in the square taking sides was realistic.
On the other hand, I do think the character of Jane has been ruined. her actions - no matter how many times she and Ian try to justify them (like in last night's episode) are deplorable and I can't see how she can be redeemed or stay in the square without first serving some sort of jail sentence. Characters overall haven't been ruined, but they have acted completely out of character or against what we know about them in order to facilitate ridiculous and prolonged storylines. Dtc is definitely guilty of that |

The lack of MyLauren and Cindy under his reign of terror is appalling. Appalling, I tells ya.
We shouldn't stand for it. |

Making Dean a rapist but still trying to write him as a tragic hero with a sick daughter and mummy issues.

Nothing wrong with Making Ronnie evil. Dean changed since his time in prison so brave move making him a rapist. He had improved Kim, Ben, Abi .

Making Kathy into a two-faced, selfish, weak liar.

Dean was brought back for the rape storyline. Otherwise he'd be a total non character from some non-specific time period in the show's history. Similarly, Lucy was a crap character and so although both of their characters have been destroyed, it actually made them memorable as well.

Yup. Seeing Ian physically throw her out his house and call her a two bit con artist broke my heart. Kathy has been ruined. I wish to god she'd stayed dead.

I wouldn't say she was ruined as Kat and Sharon suffered the same situation on their returns and Sharon at least has improved. The whole Kathy return may be have been blighted by other trivial storylines overshadowing it, a lot of fans are not interested in the Cokers and the Hubbards and Kathy has been playing second fiddle to these characters.

Aside from making Dean a rapist, I quite like seeing characters with flaws. It's much more interesting than if everyone is a perfect citizen.

Destruction of the remaining original family. Question is does that lead to destruction of EE?

I don't think sharon has improved at all. The fact that she covered up for bobby /Ian and let max go to jail was disgusting.

Kim has regressed again and Denise playing second fiddle to Kim is unpopular with viewers.

Kathy has been given plenty of airtime, as have Ian and Ben, but the truth is that her return has been dreadful. Rubbish storyline, mediocre acting and you're right in a way, it has been less interesting than anything else on offer. Give me Les, Ronnie and Denise over Kathy's return. Less than 6 m viewers last night....her return must be the biggest flop of any return ever. They should do a Nick and kill her off again.
