EastEnders SOC for the Axe
I think we can safely assume either SOC's days are numbered as Executive Producer, or some drastic changes are needed, all this soft touch episodes just aren't working.

He's the best producer in 10+ years. He has completely turned the show around.

I disagree, SOC has breathed life into a show that was failing. 2017 is showing a lot of promise.

Without sounding like a broken record, I think he will be gone next year.
There is a little bit of hero worship for him on this forum. Literally a little bit. I feel.most sorry for Rita Simmons and Samantha womack. But I suppose the BBC could have stopped him killing their characters as well, but didn't. |

I think the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day episodes have been wonderful. Some lovely kisses to the past which we don't often get, and some real nice touches of community spirit - such a refreshing change. Alongside this we've also had the progression of multiple storylines as opposed to just a big focus on one particular one. I think both episodes have been nicely balanced - the episodes are shaping up to be best set of Christmas/New Year episodes in a long time.

The BBC would only step in to remove a producer if there was a dramatic fall in ratings (like there was under Kirkwood). The ratings are just fine under SOC, and in my opinion the quality is the most consistent its been in literally more than a decade. So what if people on social media have slated his work? They slate everything, and it's important to remember that they only represent a tiny portion of the millions of viewers who tune in each week.

I see more positivity for his changes than negativity. I'd sooner watch 100 episodes of this calibre than the rubbish that Emmerdale and Coronation Street have been putting out. Oh wow, who is Peter Barlow sleeping wi.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I think the people complaining more are just narcissists who love getting off on other people's misery and can't do it with the way EE has been lately. |

Eastenders has not been this good for many, many years.
SOC is going nowhere. I don't give a shit about what people on Twitter or Facebook say.

What's the matter. No sleazy affairs, no pointless violence, people acting like adults instead of badly behaved primary school children, viewers being treated like adults and not needing everything spelt out for them and signposted in neon lights......off with his head.

Can we? Poor choice of words to address your opinion. |

He seems to have a lot of 2017 mapped out so I don't see him going anywhere, were slowely starting to hear more from him about his vision

Corrie and Emmerdale are actually good. Hollyoaks is the best soap, although you are probably one of the Hollyoaks haters aren't you? I'm also guessing you are over 40?
