Kathy Beale why is she there?
On the Boxing Day episode those scenes of Ian talking to Bobby about going to a boarding school,with Kathy just sitting there and Jane holding back the tears what exactly was the point of bringing Kathy back for stuff like this why is she there what is she adding to scenes like this or any of the Bobby storyline or anything else in general? All those scenes Ian got before he found out Kathy was alive he would often say my mum if she was here she would be so ashamed of me yet she's here and Ian's perfectly happy behaving like a scumbag infront of her and no reactions about any of this from Kathy Why's she there? For all the fuss, why do they need her?”

Can't stand her as an actress her voice really grates on me & her over the top acting is cringe worthy

It's going to be weird when Bobby goes to boarding school leaving just three grownups living together in the house. It just seems like it's missing some younger family members. I think it's time for Peter (obviously recast given the actor's success) and Lauren to return with the baby.

They said Bobby would still see them holidays etc we will probably see him just as much maybe just abit less than before. I can see the boarding school not working out for Bobby something will happen there with the never ending storyline taking another dark turn.

She was part of one of DTC's "exciting" anniversary storylines and now they probably don't know what to do with her now that's all finished with

I like Kathy but she annoyed me in the last few episodes. She's as deluded about Bobby as her son and his wife are. If Pat, Pauline or Lou were still around they'd have sorted this mess out long ago. Kathy is just an enabler.
I remember when the dust settled after Den's return. The storylines dried up and the writers didn't know what to do with him. He wound up swanning around the square making secret phonecalls to his mistress and not much else. Then his exit storyline came along. I wanted Kathy back but she seems to have come back wrong just like Den did. I guess it's true what they say about resurrecting the dead... |

What does Kathy Beale bring?
The Gavin storyline. The Phil - Gavin Kidnapping storyline. The Phil - Back on the Bottle storyline. The Gavin - Sharon - I'm you daddy - Your My Princess storyline. The Moving in with Ian - Taking Bobby's Room - Bobby getting Angry & Hurling Jane Down the Stairs storyline. The I Always Knew You Were Gay Ben - Be Yourself Ben - Abi - Paul storyline. I am sure others can think of others. DTC is the storyline Guru. That is his speciality - starting new storylines, twisting, retconning old storylines. |

Kathy is someone for Sharon to glare at occasionally.

I don't mind Kathy really. It's the writing. She should be challenging Ian & Jane more and showing some sadness at losing a grand daughter. She should be blaming herself more for not being with her family. Yet this hasn't be written effectively enough imo.

She wasn't needed in the Xmas and Boxing Day episodes.
She's a weak character played by a crap actress. I wish Kathy would become a stronger character again but will this happen? I doubt it. She is just as bad as Ian, Phil, Sharon and Jane for covering up Bobby's role in Lucy's death. I'm ashamed that nobody has mentioned Max. Kathy should have had words with Ian about Bobby and she knows an innocent man is in jail! I don't think they know what to do with Kathy now but they need to give her something big soon. |

Kathy has been let down by naff writing. Kathy did not really need to be around in these recent episodes. They should of had her in the vic with Ben and Abi where she was none the wiser. All this drama was going on and she was just sat there like a spare prick at a wedding.
