ED: Completely and utterly sick of Belle Dingle
How long will this storyline drag on for? It is absolutely awful. This character has been overused so much the past few months, it's become Belledale. There is nothing interesting about the character either, completely one dimensional.

Couldn't agree more, OP.
But I can't stand any of the Dingles at the best of times. |

![]() While Belle has been front burner I don't think she's been over used. The Dr Bailey story is cringe worthy as he is old enough to be her dad but I think its interesting that they are showing the another side to Belle and letting her grow up a bit. |

She's a Dingle through and through... Straight out of the classless Debbie, Charity, Chas mould.
Cracking pair on her though, so there is that. Thanks. |

Belle's time is nothing compared to Aaron! OK he's not in it much at the moment but he and Robert took ED over for months. Incidentally I like Belle and I'm finding the story line interesting, wondering where it will go from here.

What about Ross? Sure Robron were heavily featured in their OWN story but 2015 was the year of Ross. Kate Oates shoehorned him into just about every story. I halfway expected him to find a cure for Ashley's dementia.

You just couldn't resist moaning about Ross in a thread that's totally irrelevant to him.
I like Belle but it does feel like this storyline's been going on forever and I can't see an end in sight. I haven't been enjoying this storyline and was hoping the affair reveal would be the last we saw of Bailey but I think it's gotten slightly more interesting with her faking a pregnancy (even if it's very repetitive). It would be nice to have the odd ep without her or this storyline being featured though. |

Part of the reason I'm not hugely interested in this storyline is because of the fact that Dr Bailey only exists as a plot driven character.
He's not there to be a character in his own right - he simply exists as the "plot" that is driving Belle's teenage delusion of love. He's just an expendable character with no connections, no friends, no reason to exist in the show beyond being the source of Belle's infatuation. Do I care that he got himself involved with a teenage patient? - nope Do I care that he's being struck off as a doctor because of it? - nope Do I care that his wife kicked him out? - nope Do I care that he's hung around because he thinks Belle is pregnant? - nope This is not an intricately woven storyline bringing numerous characters together - its just a storyline about Belle - and for me, she's not that interesting a character to be the "leading lady" driving the story. Its not a terrible storyline - its just a bit dull and ridden with soap cliches. |

Im now expecting people to me that Ross is only popular for his looks- well David and Rakesh for example are good looking blokes. So why arent they as popular? |

Michael Parr was winning awards and thousands of people signed petitions when they thought Ross had died. I think any producer would have given him more storylines. Those who slate the Ross/Debbie stuff (me included) have to remember that Michael Parr won awards for that. So imagine how successful he could become with some decent storylines like his one with Donna which I personally loved.

Kate Oates favored Ross. Micheal Parr even said in an interview that he was nervous about Kate Oates leaving because Ross was "her baby". Kate felt the need (for whatever reason) to put her golden boy in every story even if it made little sense. |

She is overused and I'm sick of her.
But she's a Dingle so I expect there'll be a lot more to come. They've all been severely overused at one time or another - Cain & Charity, Chas & bloody Aaron. Only ones who haven't been rammed down our throats in recent years are Zak & Lisa. |

In the meantime taking away qualities from a brilliantly evil character like Robert. |

Nah Im just invested in his character alot, I wouldnt mind his looks though. Also maybe you're right about Kate Oates favouring him but he was a character that she introduced and the most popular that she introduced. I think the only storyline that didnt make sense was him shooting Robert. However it could start a feud between Ross/Robert/Aaron which would make decent entertainment. His other storylines all linked together though, he was obviously going to be Moses' dad to go with his affair with Debbie making it impossible for them to be together. The alternative would of been Declan who had not long left the show. Anyone one else would of been a bit silly and out of the blue. Ross and Charity had history and they were running the chop shop together so its believable that something happened.

I really cannot stand Belle. It paricularly makes me cringe to death when she tries to act all sexy and seductive while looking about twelve years old.
