EE we need a train crash
Looking at the train crossing the trains at the start of tonights episode made me imagine how awesome it would be if it came off the bridge, destroyed the market and finally crashes into the Vic.
Eastenders are long overdue a huge stunt and I feel a train crash would be perfect. |

Something would need to damage the bridge first.
You can't have it happen during the day. Dozens of people would be killed. |

Considering the trains aren't real and are just CGI I think this one might just be given a miss.
Thanks |

They should consider this storyline:
Calvin, a gorgeous, blond guy in his 20s and his equally attractive half Egyptian friend Zain move into the Square. Calvin starts dating Abbie. They are popular and soon integrate very well. A few months later, after accepting them as charismatic new characters, we realise they are terrorists plotting the next 7/7. The blond guy, Calvin, is the leader. He plans to get a job as Father Christmas in Selfridges and hide the explosives in Santa's sack, then blow himself and the kids up on the busiest day of the year. His friend will do the same in the Marble Arch branch of M & S. Abbie is asked to bring the sack to the Vic before he sets off, but she looks inside when they're in the pub and begins screaming. Realising he's been rumbled, Calvin detonates the sack of explosives in the Vic, killing several characters. |

The BBC wouldn't dare for obvious reasons.

If some things are considered too sensitive, this is part of the problem. We need to demystify and analyse terrorism, and a soap storyline could help with that.

I think my storyline would work, especially with the lead terrorist being white and good looking. I wouldn't suggest a storyline with two guys of Middle Eastern origin because it would only encourage Islamaphobia.
The East End is full of dodgy characters and I'm sure potential terrorists are there already. They wouldn't be plotting to blow up anything on the Square, so that would have to happen accidentally or because they were about to be arrested and it was better than nothing. It could work. EE aren't bothered about their audience being unsettled. They have gay hate killings and rape. They would only need to show an explosion, |

It would be Islamic but the main perpetrator would be a white/blond/blue Aryan type, to remind us of the evils of the Holocaust which had nothing to do with Islam. His friend is Islamic but very good looking - Zayn Malik type of looks where the only thing you notice is how attractive he is. These characters should be established as charismatic and attractive in the run up to Christmas and then around Dec 7 we realise what exactly they are plotting.
How do we realise? They try to recruit Shakky, who is going through a tough time, and he seems interested at first. Ulimately, Shakky will not go through with it and maybe he will rumble them in the Vic when they are sat together with sacks of explosives. |

My storyline would only work if these young guys were the most lovable characters. I would build them up over a period of months. They'd be kind to everyone, maybe one would live with Dot and help her when she was ill, maybe one would date Abbie and make her so happy. They would be One Direction good looking and there would be no hint of evil for a long time.

I really want the Vic to have a classic moment again a Hostage maybe? Ceiling collapses? Another fire? I just hate the current interior of the Vic it needs to go.

It needs something big to happen, sick of hearing EastEnders doesn't do stunts. As long as they don't start relying on stunts all of the time, one is fine.
