If you were EP which kids out of Janet, Lily, Amy, Dennis, William and Jade would you use a bit more in 2016?

Which kids would you like to see appear a bit more in 2016?
I would like to see more of Janet in 2016 because I want to see how Honey and Billy cope with looking after their down syndrome daughter Janet and her needs ect. I would like to see more of Lily, Amy, Dennis and William and Jade as well.

I know people don't like seeing kids alot on Eastenders but I want to see more everyday life scenes like Roxy or Stacey or Sharon or Billy or Honey taking their kids to School or giving them their tea ect.

Which younger cast member under 16 would you nominate at the British Soap Awards for best young performance and Inside Soap Awards for Best Young Actor? if you were EP?

It would be good to see them more, even if not a major thing, just to add a bit more realism to everyday scenes, I give it to Emmerdale at least they use the kids they hire.

Jade looks promising. She is played by a decent actor. Janet is a delight. I miss Tiffany and Morgan. Tommy is back soon...I always loved his little scenes.

I miss Tiffany and Morgan too. Tiffany was a brilliant character played by a fantastic young actress. Bobby as played by the current actor is also very good. I'm looking forward to him growing up and seeing if he knows he did in fact kill Lucy. More of Janet could lead to Billy actually getting a story of his own so yes more Janet as at the moment I just forget all about Billy.

I agree. Kids don't have to be a major part but its nice for the soaps to use them a bit more especially Eastenders. when Peter and Lucy were younger we saw them quite and they weren't too major. Here are some old clips of Peter and Lucy:

IMO when you hire kids they should be used at least in 1 or 2 episodes a month and not disappear for months. Look at Emmerdale they used Belle alot when Eden took over in October 2005 and they use April Windsor, Sarah Sugden, Amelia Spencer, Noah, Gabby, Samson and Arthur, Although Bob's twins are hardly seen but hopefully they will be seen a bit more. Abi and Lauren were seen alot when they were younger in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and Tiffany, Liam and Morgan were seen alot in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and Ben was seen alot when he was younger in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and Jay was seen alot when he was younger in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Peter and were used quite a bit before they were recast in 2004 and then they were seen alot more then.

Me too. I agree with everything you said. I want to see more of Lily and Amy as well.. Amy is the same age as April Windsor in Emmerdale and she is hardly ever seen and April on Emmerdale is seen quite a bit.

Yes I would like to see the kids, having a sandwich or talking about school life. Not every episode, but sometimes, on a regular basis, would be good. Better than all the affairs & dodgy dealings.

Here we go again...

I absolutely loathe all of them, and believe there are serious questions that need to be asked of Janet's whereabouts on the night Lucy died. I would not be against the answers being extracted through torture.

I believe the pets are the ones who deserve a spotlight

Princess Di is fab and could easily be the show's biggest bitch. Ignoring Nancy while she had a seizure proved how dangerous she is.

and I think if they pair her up with Wellard 2, we have one of the soaps most passionate dangerous love stories of our time. Think bonnie and clyde but without the robbing banks.

I agree with all this 're Jade, Janet and Tommy.

Tiffany and Morgan. I haven't missed.

I would like to see George Trott come back.

I don't mind them on screen, but I don't miss them when they're not there either.

Thank you for the list. I'll be sure to watch them next time I have a spare 4 hours.

I'm pretty sure that Billy and Honey know how to handle Janet by now considering it's nearly been 10 years, but I really can't be a***d with more kids in the show considering Bobby has dominated 2015

But it will be nice to see how it is looking after a downs syndrome child. Which kids would you like to see more off next year? Would you like to see Janet onscreen more.

I know what you mean MG, there needs to be some normality to balance out all the high octane stuff, otherwise it just becomes a string of plots tied together. And I can't wait for Den III to begin his reign of terror.

to be fair, Eastenders isnt a soap designed around kids or aimed at kids so no, I dont want to see more of them

its a adult soap and some of those adults just happen to have kids so yeah, we have to see them

Personally I dont want to see kids having breakfast or being walked to school - thats boring

But its on before the watershed so its not just for kids. Emmerdale use the kids they hire. But we need to see more everyday life scenes like kids having breakfast or having their dinner/tea or being took to School and talking about their day at School. Eastenders needs to do real life scenes like that it has done before with Peter, Lucy, Steven, Abi, Lauren, Liam, Tiffany, Janine, Martin, Vicki, Sonia and Billie. Would you like to see more of Janet? Eastenders needs to reflect real life and in real life kids have their breakfast and parents take their kids to School and pick them up and give them their dinner/tea.
