Ok so he has been gone now for 9 months. Do you miss the legend that was Dirty Den Watts? For me it feels like such a waste, but what a storyline this has been! I have to say though that the show doesnt feel any different without him but i would be interested in what others think?

Not really, His death has been far more interesting than anything from when he was alive.

I totally agree. I don't miss him at all but his death lead to a good story - albeit a bit long winded.

I quite enjoyed the dressing room story....or am I confusing fact with fiction?

Wasn't that the story when an infamous Watts clan member admitted something and was caught on a tiny camera in the corner of the room.

So that's where the Chrissie confession story came from....

Indeed Nancy, however thank heavens Dirty Den's equipment wasn't of the same standard as Johnny Allen's what I mean is....no sound effects

Anything???

I'm totally gob-smacked. What about the 'who's the father' storyline, or the 'six-months to live' or the 'happy christmas ange' or what about when Den burnt down the Dagmar in revenge for Kathy's rape?

Unless, of course, you were too young to see them, in which case you're forgiven.

I even enjoyed Den setting up Phil and the whole lot of fallout over getting back the Vic.

I'll admit (putting aside obvious complaints) that Den's death has provided much of the entertainment for this year, but yours seems a very dismissive statement of some of the biggest stories in soap history.

Not particularly. His demise was far more exciting than his life.

I don't really miss Den. The events following his death have been much better than what would be happening if he was still alive.

Den returning has opened up so many story lines that couldn't have happened if he'd never returned but also wouldn't have worked if he'd still been alive.
Alot of the business's wouldn't have been bought out by Ian and then now returned to the Mitchells, I haven't seen this weeks episodes yet but the odd snipet i've seen makes it sound like Phils been getting his own back again, big bully he is.
The rest of the mitchells wouldn't have first left then returned again so now that Chrissie has gone as well I think the injection into the whole storylines with bringing him back for six months has really revitalised the show that had really started to drift off.
Must say though I'm glad that he's gone again and this time I for good.

i dont miss den but i do think it was a mistake to kill him off.

den was a great character and they missed some great potential storylines by killing him off

You're a true gentleman, Phil - maybe we should shake on it?

Which life are you talking about, his first ( before your time) or his second

I do not miss him but he was still a great character far better than the Moons and the Mitchell thugs

First time round, he was a really excellent character... then when they brought him back (which, as someone above has said, HAS opened up a lot of new possibilities... but I considered it unnecessary) he was terrible. Couldn't deliver a line without shrugging his shoulders and mumbling... hands in pockets. He ruined Eastenders for a long long time. Only now with the finish of his death storyline is the soap managing to claw its way back up.

I do miss the legend. Unfortunately Den ceased to be a legend the moment he came back from the dead IMO, so I'm not sorry to see the back of him the second time.
