EE: How many characters do you actually care about?
Honestly, how many characters in the square do you like, empathise with, or care about?

I don't care about any. I can seperate reality from fiction.
I do empathise with characters or at times i can identify with what a character is supposed to be portraying |

From the appropiate used lot:
Ben Ian Martin From the Underused/supporting lot: Lee Denise Donna Pam Jay Tina Carmel Everyone else I find either dull, awfully acted or just completley vile or overused to the point I don't care about them much anymore. Or multiple of the reasons. |

When voting in the favourite character rounds recently I realised just how many I don't like. There is only 5 I am really interested in. About another 5 I am slightly interested in and about another 50 I am indifferent to or cannot stand.
Total contrast to 2010 when I only disliked Peggy and Jean but liked the rest. I think it might be time to stop watching altogether again? |

I agree with Lea but I think it's matter of liking or understanding characters because you empathise with them, or see them in yourself or family/friends.
I base my likes and dislikes on a varied platform of whether I like the character, understand their motivations and it helps if they can act. My likes: Dot Ian (don't really like the character much but love Adam) Jane Bobby Mick Linda Lee Nancy Shirley Buster Tamwar Ben Sharon Jay Lauren Stacey Kyle Les Denise Kathy Carmel Cora Jack Ronnie Honey Patrick Dennis Jnr Martin Ambivalent about Masood Whitney Sonia Rebecca Tina Louise Pam Paul Claudette Vincent Kim Babe Kush Jordan Billy Gavin Dislike (Intensly) ![]() ![]() Mo Harris Peggy Mitchell Philth Mitchell Grunt Mitchell Roxy Mitchell Elaine Peacock |

I like quite a few, but I wouldn't say I care about them. There are very few characters that I've missed when they left, even in the early days.
The Carters and Denise are my favourites, and I like Stacey and Martin, Billy and Honey. |

They're not real so I can't say I "care" about them but I like
Phil, Sharon, Jane, Ben, Jay, Kathy, Dot, Mick, Linda, Shirley (for now!), Lee and Nancy (sometimes). I don't really empathise with any of them. Now that I look at the cast list I find I couldn't care less about most of the characters. If the characters I named were the only ones who appeared it would suit me just fine. |

Great to see you posting so much again Lane Kent -Im assuming Glendas appearance and likely reappearance is the cause of this!
I actually do" care" about Glenda, I find her intriguing and evoking in me a mix of intrigue, pity and camp thrill! I often don't empathise that much with characters who the EastEnders team are too obviously pushing for us to feel sorry for. Despite her illness I really only root for and "care" about Martin and Shabnam in their particular story. |

Unfortunately, very few! The same as LaneKent - I even gave up voting on the character threads because I realised how few I actually like!
At the moment, now that Shabs has gone - Martin is one of the few I care about! |

I only really have an interest now in episodes involving Stacey, Martin and Kush. So just them three.
I always hated Shabnam though. Glad she is gone. |

I actually do" care" about Glenda, I find her intriguing and evoking in me a mix of intrigue, pity and camp thrill! Glenda of course has pricked my interest too and I agree with your assessment of her. There are no characters I care about but I am interested in Kathy, Ian, Phil, Ronnie and Roxy's so stupid that she makes me laugh. I won't count Glenda as she is only a guest character. I am slightly interested in Sharon, Jack, Ben, Jay, Jane & Bobby. Was interested in Gavin but getting bored of him flitting in and out - which is making it hard to in invest in the character. I don't mind Mick Carter but the rest of his clan send me to sleep. I also have an interest in Shirley but she has to be one of the nastiest characters in the show. Buster seems ok. The rest are either in groundhog day, irritating or just plain boring and unlikeable. |

I honestly don't care about any of them, why would I they are fictional characters.
