Both of them are pointless and add nothing to the show, imo. Jacqueline Jossa's acting is awful and Lorna Fitzgerald isn't that good. They were good in the old days but now they are the cure to insomnia! I want the bosses to bring in new younger characters.

To me it's the storylines that are failing them, Abi's storylines have not been too bad this year.

The new younger characters recuitment have not been all that good of late, maybe Phil's daughter being the better of the bunch.

I have a soft soft for Abi, I'm not sure why as she can be very irritating at times but I agree with you about Lauren. I also agree Jac Jossa's 'acting' is woeful. Always has been if I'm being honest.

I think Lauren will become relevant once Max returns. But Lauren's return has been woeful. She's boring. Making her a mother was pointless anyway, but we all know what DTC's obsession with pregnancy was like. I am surprised he never suggested a pregnancy story line to June Brown.

He may have done but June vetoed it?

Abi I think is more fascinating than Lauren. Lorna Fitzgerald can act, and all this saga with Babe and Ben has bought her out of her shell, and gave some meat to her performances. I think there is a lot of depth, and a multi layers with Abi.

Lauren - I'd actually axe her. I don't think she has any purpose no more. She's boring, and even with Max returning, I don't think she'd add value.

Abi could be big in the future.

I had to laugh loud when Lauren said Abi hasn't got a clue about web design.

Lauren who was an estate agent for 2 days and then did nothing for 2 years

Lauren used to be one of my favourite characters but I haven't enjoyed her since she left Walford with Peter. After the Lucy storyline ended she hasn't really had a proper storyline.

Her exit last year whilst due to the actresses maternity leave felt like a good natural "ending point" at least for a decent time period.

Abi is a great character. She does some pretty mad things, but it's easy to trace her motivations and behaviour.

Lauren – I'm a bit confused about her since her return. It all seems a bit flat. I thought she'd be a lot angrier at the Beales when she came back from New Zealand, so moving in with them is a bit odd.

I don't think either are pointless characters. I'm looking forward to the Max reunion at Christmas. That's bound to be explosive.

They were self absorbed in going to see Linda when they'd know about Dean and his trial. It'd be in their local news and everyone on the square would have heard at the the time Dean attacked Roxy and they knew Linda had spoken out before.

This. Abby keeps getting these glimmers of greatness and then they throw her off the canvas. Battering Lucy, playing Ben, now nearly killing Babe. They need to use her more.

Ronnie and Roxy are far more pointless imo. They ran they course years ago. I'm glad they're going..

I Agree. New slags over old hags.

Though Lauren is pretty pointless. I can't see her getting anything like Abi has been getting, just more turgid drinking storylines and regurgitated love affairs. Her absence proved she wasn't missed and that Abi can more than handle her own and carry storylines. I wish Cora would come back and drag her away to a pub in Portugal.

Lauren is a pathetic mess of a character played by a poor excuse for an "actress".
