I'm sure he wasnt this much lost. 
EE - Was Lee always this dim dumb and dopey?
I think he is getting worse as time goes on, he started off ok when he was in the army but then the depression got him.
Now he is selling fish with his randy granddad and they don't have a braincell between them.

I'm sure he had a lot more about him when he first came into the show and was seeing Lucy. He does seem to have got incredibly dopey since then and what was the story about where he told Buster how the delivery man short changed him and he kicked off - all over 45p. Really? Was that an attempt at humour by EE cos it just made Lee look even more moronic.
Lee was never that bright but he seems to have got worse recently. Can't remember an EE character this dopey. Little Mo was dopey when she first arrived but she definitely smartened up as the years went by. Maybe Barry Evans too, though he may have just had a string of bad luck.
Lee's definitely been reduced to a dimwit and it's probably meant to be down to his depression. The writers need to do better, though, because it's not being addressed directly and instead just making him irritating.
Storylines about mental illness generally conclude with the character going on medication and recovering (with little to no mention of it again until the writers want another dramatic meltdown), so it would be good to show how sometimes people can still struggle and require additional help or a different treatment. I hope that's where they're going, at least.

Lee has absolutely nothing about him whatsoever, and DBH just plays him like he doesn't know what day it is, let alone what's going on. Genuinely one of the worst 'actors' EE has ever had - and there's been some competition lately!
On a side note, Danny Dire isn't much cop either. Mick was joking around with Linda on the bed but he just came across as downright creepy. And Linda constantly giggling at things that aren't even remotely funny is also humongously irritating. The Carters are generally so cardboard it's a wonder they don't come free in cereal boxes.

I remember that brief moment of excitement when Lee was announced and some on here thought he would be a dashing, charismatic soldier who would fall for Shabnam! (Me included!
