He's the dullest long standing cast member in EE.

He responds to every situation and storyline in the exact same dull old way.

Recent example: instead of what could've been an interesting reaction to Janet's current schooling issues, we get Boring Billy pointing his finger in the headteacher's face, with pathetic faux tough "you're out of order, do you know that!" style outrage.

Boring, spineless, daft, and still scared of Phil after decades!! Get rid.

I hope the

Honey needs to keep as far away from Jack as possible. I like Billy when they use him effectively which is rarely.

Billy needs to get back on the coke so we can have an invincible Billy Mitchell.

One of the first 3 I would axe. The other 2 being Mo and Elaine even though they are only recurring!

Why do people keep calling for the axe for Mo when she's literally as good as gone?

She makes guest appearances now and again
She has not been seen since the New Year.

OP even Billy is fed up of Billy, however, having said that he does serve a purpose, he is the Squares laughing stock, if they got rid of him they may actually have to laugh at themselves

I agree his attitude to professional people is always over the top when he doesn't like what he's hearing. EastEnders is full of characters who fly off the handle like this (Look at Bens rant against the police officer the other day), and Alfie was just as bad in his appalling scenes with the housing department (despite being homeless cos he committed arson on where he was living). You don't need to have people shouting and hollering to have dramatic tension, I wish they would go for more subtle and nuanced scenes.

I like Billy it's the poor writing from the scriptwriters that is to blame they could really develop the Billy and Jay relationship with Billy as a older brother/father type for Jay, instead they portray Billy as a hapless loser where things always go wrong for him, they need to keep Honey away from Jack the serial impregnator.

I like Billy. He and Jay are the outsiders of the Mitchell clan but IMO they're the best of them.

He is very self righteous

He is always in the right

He needs to let people live their lives

I like him. A good long term character - something the show lacks. Perry is also a fantastic actor.

Keep him and Honey with the kids as a stand alone unit. They just need to stop with the victim, penniless Billy, which got old a long time ago.

I agree, but i do like Billy. Thick Mick was another shouter at the docs in hospitals etc.

They need to revisit Billy's pervy side when he had those secret photos of Lucy. The character is a pervert but it's been brushed under the carpet.

I've always had a soft spot for Billy- when he needs to step up to the plate, Perry really shines. His scenes with Jay the other day were amazing
