Sean O'Connor is ruining EastEnders
I'm so bored to death with nothing of note really happening from one episode to the next. It's as if he's tried to make the show like The Archers, but it just doesn't work.
I can see millions turning off in their droves if this contines for much longer. I'm finding very little to enjoy, and indeed I just had my back to the telly for most of the episode while I went on the internet. I've just stopped caring about it now. |

Wasn't SOC previously accused of turning The Archers into EastEnders?

I think we need to give the guy a break. He's just getting started and they need to make many characters likeable first. I think he has some major storylines coming up but we need to be patient.

It was so boring. I hate Shakil, and I just cringe at all those bedroom scenes. I don't need to know.

I love how the 'people switching off in droves' argument comes into play when slating EE, it's very much the opposite with more viewers tuning in. Quote:

He's not ruining EastEnders for me. I quite like all these character developments, much better than DTC did for his characters- and it's still early days for him. I look forward to Halloween, Whitney & Lee's wedding, how Lee will exit, Linda's exit, R&R...

I am enjoying the slow pace. Nice easy viewing.
Makes a change from all the murders, car crashes and adulterous goings on that we could be watching. |

I'm liking it so I disagree with you, but fair enough.
I noticed tonight was a new writer, or one I haven't seen before. I have to say based on tonight's I hope he doesn't write many. Quite cliched dialogue and I predicted a characters response before they said it about four times. However, I think it's been pretty good lately. |

It's a refreshing change rather than DTC's method of cramming so much in you can barely keep up.
My one concern is the amount of characters with money worries. It may be realistic but why so many?

I just saw Eastenders tonight and the whole episode was like the film Pleasentville where everyone is acting nice to each other and nothing bad is happening

It wouldn't be so bad if it was like this in the Summer but it should be firing on all cylinders now.
