Eastenders will become a teen show
Looking at all these axing I have realised that Lee is the youngest person he has axed which makes me fear that he's going to be another Kirkwood and make Eastenders a teen show.
I have nothing against teens but the show needs older characters especially the likes of Pam and Les who were interesting and good fixtures on the show. Now looking back at Shakils birthday that was one of the worst episodes the show has had in a while and I strongly believe that it was SOC's work because it felt completely different from a DTC episode. If we get more nonsense like that I fear we shall rewind 6 years to the past. |

Better than Incompetent DTC doing his absolute level best to utterly decimate the entire young cast.

I'm not a fan of either but just curious. |

Pam and Les were 'meh' characters. Pam wears the facade of nice old lady when really she can be quite spiteful. Les is lovely but the actor is terrible. I'm not fussed about their exits and we have dtc to thank for Shakil, idk who was in charge of that birthday ep but I hope SOC improves EE. So far things are looking awful but it's still early days and through transition.

DTC left long before that Birthday ep I think it was Lamb and Batten who were in charge for that

It was awful, I hope soc axes Shakil. I'm in the minority but so far I have not had a problem with the characters he is getting rid of. Maybe Lamb and Batten needs the axe, because that birthday ep was shit.

It was the worst ep I can remember it was total cringe, I can't really complain about Lamb and Batten I have really enjoyed the past few year's with DTC (unpopular opinion on here I know) but apart from few of his rewriting history part's I loved it. Oh and yes Shakil has to go he makes Dexter look good.

What teens? We've only got three thanks to DTC. Why on earth he axed Cindy and Lola and brought in the dreadful Louise I'll never understand.

I doubt SOC would do that considering the plots her wrote for in the past. You have to have some teens in the show. SOC is just clearing the deck.
Ronnie is my favourite character but she needs a break before she can be retooled as there is plenty more that could have been done between Ronnie and Matthew that was missed (not sure Sam would come back though). Everyone else it was time or were not working. As long as we get great new characters I am not worried at all. I might even start watching again! |

Lee- Terrible character, hopefully the first of many Carters to leave.
Pam and Les- Terrible actors IMO Kyle- Never really found him interesting at all Claudette- I doubt that the producer axed her, she probably left due to other work Babe- They were going round in circles with her, pretending to be the harmless aunt and then becoming an evil bastard. Too repetitive. Ronnie and Roxy- They both need a long break from the show, IMO they should focus more on Ben and Jay. Buster- Yawnnn Masood- Another one who needs a break from the show. I don't think these exits are too bad at all |

We have three (Bex, Louise, Shakil) under the age of 18 hardy gonna rock the boat.
Ben, Jay, Abi , Johnny etc are not teens they're now over twenty and in between a young adult category. EE has always had teenage characters in the show along side others Ian, Sharon are the original teens nothing will stop that it reflect life and reality. The writing is just dreadful atm this is not just the teens who are suffering, this will not become a teen orientated show, DTC saw too that. |

Not really related to this topic in general but one thing that always makes me wonder about this forum is the amount of 40 year old men who call the various teenage characters on EastEnders 'my' so & so. Its a bit weird.
