SOC Interview - will we ever get one?
so SOC has been in the job for nearly 6 months now, and we literally havent heard anything from him, even quotes when characters have left/been axed have all been through an Eastenders spokesperson, do we think we will ever hear anything from him?

In a way this is a good thing, because it shows he isn't rushing to declare his big plans for the show. He's away doing his thing, with the EastEnders team and that's good. Executive Producers once upon a time, you saw at the end credits of each episode.
It's only in the last decade, especially with the rise of soap forums such as this plus the mixed fortunes of particularly EastEnders, that there's been a scrutiny on writers and Producers. It's difficult having someone like Sean O'Connor, a man who is obviously very private, to come in after Dominic Treadwell Collins, who was quite prolific in the media, both on social and in print. I think Dominic was brought in to make a splash with EastEnders, as there hadn't been anything for nearly two years and the show was dying for the want of drama. Personally though, I'd love even one interview from Sean. It's always interesting to hear a Producer's plans. Now he's been in the role for over 6 months, his work is beginning to transmit and from early on, the change in direction and tone has changed quite clearly. And it's divided viewers. Some like myself have welcomed the new direction, focusing more on character based drama, whilst some are crying out for something big to happen. I want to hear what Sean's vision 2017, his first full year at EastEnders is. He's starting it big, by disposing of Ronnie and Roxy.... |

Does he even use social media? I honestly prefer producers that are more open.

Nope he doesn't, which isn't exactly a bad thing, DTC used it far too much
Interest needs to be created.

Providing he makes sure next year is excellent, and a step up from some of the utter tripe we've been dealt since April/May I don't care if he never speaks to the media.

I know all I need to know about him. He's ruined Eastenders!

I quite like not knowing what to expect.
I'd rather that than a load of hype that he fails to deliver on. Half the time DTC said one thing in interviews and did another. SOC isn't obliged to give an interview. Back in the 90s, you rarely heard from the producer. In fact most people wouldn't have been able to tell you their name. That's probably still true now outside of internet fans. |

Interviews and Social Media are inspected to an outrageous degree on here, so in a way it's nice that we having nothing to go on really.
If he retweeted Danny Dyer, or mentioned him in a tweet I'm sure that there would be uproar and 'best mates' claims. I really like the idea that if you want to know what's happening in EastEnders, you just have to watch it! |

Well let's see how he fares with this "fantastic exit" for the Mitchell sister quoted then as that will be his first test of delivery. And current forum discussion seems to suggest "epic fail" so lets hope there are some twists!
