People say

DTC - Too sensationalist
Kate Oates - Stories too fast and personalities change
Kirkwood - Deaths, Explosions, Deaths
SOC - Too boring

Any producers anyone likes?

Depends, some have good and bad points.

I liked Phil Collinson's first six months or so. I liked Kim Crowther for the Tony Gordon storyline.

DTC was great at first but did become too sensational.
Oates - I liked at ED but cannot comment on CS as I don't watch
The Hat - Again great on ED but cannot comment on CS
SOCk - Brilliant at the moment - hopefully wont do a DTC has brought EE back to the heydays of the 80's
Birkwood - Don't like his shtick but it works for HO and long may he reign
The HO Guy at EE - Loving hos stuff with Ashley
Oliver Kent - not watched Cas and HC for a while now and not interested hope he doesn't exert too much influence on SOCk

Was he really that good on ED? He was terrible on Corrie! We had nothing for the first 5 months of the year besides a story of Carla sleeping with Robert which lasted nearly half a year with no changes, Simon hurting his mother which had no actual end and two terrible 'issue-lead' stories (oh and 90% of scenes were cringy comedy) That has got to be the worst era of any soap ever!

I honestly cannot imagine him being good at anything!

I can't comment on CS but I believe he was responsible for killing Jackson in ED - one of his first storylines I believe

It does seem to be the obsessional hobby of some on here that they must constantly whine about soap producers that's for sure.

The only soap bigwig I moan about is Kieran Roberts who is the Executive Producer at Coronation Street.

It is DS after all, and then you get posters blindly following each other like sheep.

Not many away from DS even know who the producers are, let alone their names.

I don't either and I don't care, I either like the programmes or I don't. Eras and producers don't come into it,

SOC for me, totally making Eastenders watchable again, Character Driven storylines, rather than storylines happening for no apparent reason
