EastEnders Christmas storyline where Jamie dies on Christmas day seem to be reflecting real life.
Girls Aloud tour manager (John McMahon) has been killed in a car crash. And this was on Christmas Day. My heart goes out to Girls Aloud and Johns family!

And just 2 days ago I heard that a friend of my mums died in hospital! She had a stroke on xmas eve and doctors say she couldn't survive.

The friend wasn't a close friend but still its sad to hear these things.

This is all creeping me out now that EastEnders seem to be reflecting a bit of real life! Well I suppose it always but you know what I mean.

So for all those people who complained that it was too depressing then just look out of your window into the real world, because not everyone is lucky enough to have a happy Christmas and that’s what EE was trying to reflect.

What EastEnders was trying to do is make some of you lot greatfull for having a good Christmas and make peace with your enimies before its too late, e.g. Jamie and Phil!

When EastEnders first came on air its goal was to reflect family values, morals and show life on how it is!

I'm sorry to hear about your mums friend.

But, what I think Eastenders was trying to do on Christmas day was win a ratings war. I'm 150% positive that the producers weren't sitting round a table worrying about family values and morals. If they were they might have made a more fun filled episode, as I'm sure there were people who were having a thoroughly miserable Christmas, and were made to feel even worse by the death of Jamie.

Its not real life unless you believe that the majority of residents in a particular location die, get born or get married on Christmas day? New Years eve etc

agreed. the beeb doesnt give a rat's a** about what you THINK about the episode. They only care that you watch it!!!!!

its all about the ratings.
