EE: The 'DUFF DUFFS' are becoming a little tedious......
The duffs duffs were always dramatic and built up, these days they are about the smallest of things from Martin and Stacey moving in, to Kim's one tonight.........I think we're in for a relatively quite time down EE this Christmas

Back in the day not every single episode was some big duff duff you know.

Agree OP, I don't really understand what's happening. I don't mind the driving storyline, and I do feel for Kim, so her reaction made sense, but why on earth was that at the end of the episode lol. It's not exactly going to attract casual viewers is it?

Doesn't every episode end with a duff duff? Unless Julia's theme (or other variation) is used?

The whole show is pretty boring right now. It's made up entirely of 'nothing-y' everyday storylines.

Just to give my actual opinion. The episode endings all appear to be signalling upcoming stories
Friday ended on Billy taking over the undertakers and Pam and Les leaving Monday ended on Will who is being bullied by Denny and that is clearly going somewhere Tuesday ended on Kim. The driving or not driving is clearly Kim's storyline that was teased and is going somewhere. I expect the two for the rest of the week will be in the same vein I am enjoying the episodes at the moment no complaints at all |

No they weren't, they only became that way as the soaps became more sensational and less realistic. When EE started we had many 'duff-duffs' like this

The duff duffs aren't always about dramatic cliffhangers. In the old days, we had some low key duff duffs. Eg: Kathy's knitting machine.

I am talking about big duffs duffs that everyone is expecting to happen everyday.
Does real life work like that? |

SOC is doing a terrible job. The show is so boring right now, I don't even watch the show live anymore.

I like what SOC is trying to do but today's duff duff was one of the worst ever imo.

So far SOC is worse than Newman and Birkwood, and that's saying something because I couldn't stand them either, but they weren't this bad, they at least had some interesting storylines going on constantly. Now their biggest storyline is how Billy's day is going or how Kim doesn't want to take her driving test

I just watched the end online. Pfffft.
I think the problem is SOC needs to find a balance. Having a low key ending is fine ever so often but if its every night then that won't encourage viewers to tune in next time. |

Incase everyone has forgotten we do have Lee and Whitney's wedding coming up with Lee's exit. As well as Max's return and Cora. We also have many exits and Phil's liver coming up so there is still drama to come.

We need to be patient and wait for a bit longer until new stories are introduced. Kirkwood and DTC were (in my opinion) two producers who were obsessed with sensationalism and many characters became either 'ruined' or 'stale' and the show became a parody of itself. I'm pleased they're introducing some realistic storylines about every day life in general and I'm certain we will get some hard-hitting storylines soon. Eg: Ronnie and Roxy's explosive exits.
