Eastenders in crisis? Show boss fired

Sean O'Connor is to step down as the boss of primetime soap Eastenders, just several months after taking over the top job at Elstree, as BBC execs have held crisis talks this week to try to stop sliding ratings and widespread criticism of the show.

For months, critics have universally panned the once popular soap for its over reliance on mundane, boring plots, and a wealth of unlikeable characters.

Whilst a permanent replacement has yet to be confirmed, the Daily Fail has learned that renowned soap forum expert J-B has been installed as interim boss by the BBC, after he seduced one of the top bits of skirt at the corporation.

Though not available for comment, incoming boss J-B issued the following statement this morning:

As a long term fan of the show, I'm excited to get started on making Eastenders great again. Day one folks, we're going to repeal every planned storyline, scrap all the scripts, and start from scratch. It's going to be brilliant, let me tell you.

The Daily Fail understands that J-B has already held lengthy meetings in his new office with several of the soaps leading young cast members, including Jacqueline Jossa, Tilly Keeper, Jacqueline Jossa again, and Shona McGarty. Delivery vans were seen at Elstree delivering velvet sofas, mood lighting, and an integrated mini-bar with champagne cooler for the new office.

The BBC said in their statement that they are "delighted to be working with one of the most exciting breakthrough talents in television", and told fans to expect casting news, departure info, and storyline previews within the coming days.
