1. Donald Trump winning
2. Orphans in Africa
3. All death
4. Internet buffering
5. Everything bad
6. Milk going sour
7. Animals becoming extinct
8. Brexit
9. Nigel Farage
10. Next time you lose your phone

Can anyone think of anything else?

1. EE becoming watchable again.
2. Kathy becoming an actual character again
3. Cleaning up the amorality on Albert Square by axing Ronnie, Claudette and Babe
4. Realistic and topical storylines taking precedent again
5. Giving Lee's depression storyline the attention it deserved
6. Putting Lee in those lovely tight trousers most episodes
7. Making Stacey the HBIC of the Slater/Fowler clan
8. Using dialogue rather than convoluted plots to define characters
9. Using Dot properly
10. Ratings rising

1. axing the best characters. babe, ronnie, claudette, pam, les
2. Filling episodes with pointless scenes
3. Turning feisty characters into wimps
4. Forgetting to give 3 quarters of the cast a storyline more exciting than bin conversations and driving lessons
5. Not giving pam and less a julias theme
6. Not giving margaret a funeral after she fell out that window
7. Not showing deans trial
8. Focusing constantly on lee when no one likes him or his awful acting
9. The bex and shakil im a virgin lets have sex crap over and over again
10. Dealing with the mark/grant plot badly, we waited 21 years to see grant find out that mark was his son and it was such a let down

To address some of your points:

3. Examples?
4. His work has been on the screen for less than two months. If you expect all the cast to get storylines during that time you're tripping.
5. He did give them a Julia's Theme, on the episode they got the result for Paul's killer's trial.
6. Margaret had nothing to do with him, it happened way before he started.
7. Neither did Dean's trial. Again, it happened before he started.
8. Plenty of people like Lee, and his acting has been commendable.
10. Again, this storyline had very little to do with him. It was already in full swing when he joined and would have been written months before.

People may not always get irony

I got it, I just wanted to counter the negativity that I knew was on the way.

😂😂😂
You have to explain and spell things out for ppl on this forum!

Can I blame him for my nightmare morning?

Apart from no2 I agree. Dead Kathy should be returned to where she came from

He needs to make Mcbeale pay also

Agree with all of this.

The stories are flowing better, too. The block storytelling everyone was whingeing about has gone. Every character has something going on (except for Shirley, I think Linda Henry is on her annual break).

Hmm. not so sure. The block storytelling is better than it was but the Beales' story has been left in abeyance for a couple of weeks now just when it appeared to be building up to find out more about Steven's background and what's happened with Peter. I know the actors get time off but it seems an odd time to leave the story when they did. I still want to know why Peter can't or won't get in touch with Ian and Jane. I'm still guessing that Steven has taken or destroyed his passport - but why?

This. I agree with a lot of the things you said, elly001.


1. I have to say he's axed some surprising people, to me. But I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he's going to get it right. I'm most gutted about Masood and Nitin quit, he wasn't axed.
2. Couldn't disagree more.
3. Who?
4. His stuff's been on screen for two months, give him a chance...!
5. They did the week before, which was better IMO.
6. That was DTC, not SOC.
7. Better IMO. Much more effective having an episode on the women he's hurt
8. Speak for yourself. I don't think DBH is a great actor but the story's certainly stirring me.
9. Okay, perhaps this has been a bit boring but they're quite sweet. The girl who plays Bex is great IMO.
10. I agree, I was slightly underwhelmed by this but I do think it was half DTC/half SOC. I also think it's to do with how long Grant was back for - how can you explore it when he's only back for a week or two?

I'll be blaming him if scotland get beat tonight.

1. Improving Kathy and Ben's relationship
2. Making Kim more sympathetic and less 2 dimensional
3. Telling a raw and real depression storyline
4. Making Jane less irredeemable
5. Progressing Lauren's character finally
6. Mixing up character interactions
7. Making it feel like a community again
8. Showing a realistic and age appropriate story with the teens; Bex and Shakil
9. Making Whitney not just a bit-part
10. Giving Dot some decent stories

Well, the original post was good!

wow this is delusion i have not seen on such a scale before on this forum though point 2 is absolutely spot on, atleast Kathy finally has a purpose in the square, i would like to see her more behind the bar in the VIc

Reply properly instead of insulting me and I'll decide then whether to take your opinion seriously. Ta.
