Why are you setting yourself up for another argument.
Lets make it simple: They have lots of storyline and are popular characters! People want to chat about them! You don't, others do, they can if they like!


















































Rant Over

Because the Mitchells are the best family in EastEnders!! Its has been crap with out them, and was made even worse by LB.

The square is always entertaining when Phil & Peggy are around

do you remember the Mitchells the first time around Sarah?

they really did alot for the show, so naturally people are going to be interested in them coming back, just as they're interested in anyone who comes back e.g. Dirty Den, Bet.

I can't wait for the Mitchells to come back but i wouldn't say its an obsession. People are bound to talk about the family because they were so popular and had fanatastic storylines. I appreciate you have your own opinion of them though.

I'm starting to find the whole bullyboy Mitchells stuff rather corny and old now. It's just more overhyped gangster style nonsense that bears no relevence to the vast majority of the real world whatsoever.

The advert I've seen made me laugh when it cut to Steve McFadden's ugly mug.

Peggy can sometimes be really annoying, Sam is really drippy, I dont like Phil but Grant is really good.

The Mitchells always have and always will be the hardmen of Soaps IMO.

I think it's a shame that Grant isn't in it for longer. I'd be a lot more excited if Ross Kemp had signed a 2 yr contract or something, so we know storylines could be developed with some sign of progression. All Grant will do is swan in, punch a few people, have a heart-to-heart with Sharon, probably kiss her - which will lead to conflict (perhaps between Grant and his new wife and Sharon and Dennis) and then he'll leave.

I completely agree. I also find it odd that the 'morality of soap' that applies to everyone else doesn't seem to apply to them. They've both beaten up/abused wifes/girlfriends/members of the public. And the only member sof the family that are nice (Billy and Sam) are presented as weak. Not the best example. Besides the fact that it's very very very boring and unrealistic (are we supposed to believe that Mel or Lisa or Kate or indeed ANYONE would want to sleep with Phil?!)
