If I was producer of Estenders, this is waht i would do...what about you?
Firstly I would axe the Millers! Mickie, Kieth, Darren and Dawn!
4 very stale and very wooden actors...the family disintergrated when Rosie and Demi were axed...the only two members of the family who proved themselves! I would also axe Gus AND kill off Ian Beale! Gus has never had a storyline worth mentioning and I would ideally love Cindy Beale to come out of hiding (Im sure she didnt really die in prison she is under a witness protection) and cause Ian Beale to have a heart attack through shock. Cindy would ultimately leave walford with the beale kids. I would then bring back grant mitchell and set him up with Jane Collins. I would bring back alfie and Kat for a series of special episode involving the Slaters... Possibly Stacey and Bradley getting hitched...or Charlie Slater dies of cancer in which case i would bring back all the Slater girls for the episodes to be more realistic when he croaks it and dies! I would introduce Preeti's family and have Pat Evans marry Bert! Yolande and Patrick would recieve news that Paul Trueman wasnt murdered but he has started afresh in America. Sharon should return with baby dennis and move into Paulines old house...I would have Sharon and Phil reunite after psycho Stella causes Ben serious harm! But I woild also bring back Lisa who wants to reunite with Phil after finally realising Phil is the man for her. The queen Vic would become less of a focu for fighting andd revelations but more of a happy joyous environment with Peggy introducing family days and oranising fetes! Just a few ideas... |

Then I'd give them all elocution lessons so that I could watch without sub-titles (Roughly translated means "Ven ahd givemaw eloqushun lessuns so vat ah kid watch vivaat subtatows"

I would have a gas explosion at Pats house Kevin, Deano, Carly, Chelsea, and Denise would all be inside they'd all die, Libby would have to go to Spain to live with her Grandmother and Pat would go stay in the B&B. Patrick and Yolande are very upset about Denise and Chelsea dying so they decide to go to Trinidad to live, Pat buys the B&B with her insurance payout from the explosion. Simon and David both come back to Walford, David takes over the car-lot and Simon becomes manager of Scarlets after being hired by the new owners, on the opening night the owners reveal themselves......They are Jake & Chrissy! David has no family so he will eventually end up with Tanya whos finally gotten rid of Max (Max will end up with Shirley) Simon brings his Wife and kids as well as Steven with him, they are all happy and move into Ians old house (because hes now in the fowlers old house) Steven will open up the fruit & veg stall on the market.
Michelle Fowler will be recast and will return from America after splitting from her Husband, she will move into the Millers old house (Keith has died trying to save people from the gas explosion) Darren has gone to live with his Mother and Mickey moves into Gus' flat with Pretti.....(Gus just leaves) Peggy gets together with Honeys father, but they never marry. Grant comes back will find out little Mark is his Child, he and David Wicks both fight over Tanya. Phil gets a new Girlfriend who he keeps hidden for weeks then everyone discovers its actually Cindy, shes been on witness protection but has always secretly been in touch with Phil hes been letting her know how Peter and Lucy are. |

If i was EE Producer
March - May and Dawn clash in the Vic, where Dawn then falls to the floor in pain. She suffers a miscarrige. Later May breaks down as she feels it was her fault due to the argument. - Stacy decides to leave Walford and meet up with Ruby in Spain. Before she leaves, she has a heart to heart with Sean, where she drops a bombshell. April - Stellas campaign against Ben heats up as she pours boiling hot water on him. As Bens life hangs in the balance, Stella waits by his bedside where she threatens him not to go telling Phil the truth. - Denise asks Kevin to marry her. Kevin agrees but starts to feel that being married again could make things worse. May - Its the stag and hen nights that either party will never forget. Kevin ends up in Shirleys bed and is caught Chelsea. Meanwhile Denise finds it hard to party after finding out that she is pregnant. June - Stacy arrives back in Walford with new boyfriend Chris. She's pregnant but is it Chris's or Max's? - Chelsea breaks her silence when Denise announces that she is pregnant. What will Denise do now? July - Phil secretly installs CCTV cameras in the Vic and is shocked when he sees Stella hitting Ben. Phil corners Stella and she confesses all. In a fit of rage Phil stabs her in the chest.

I would reduce the number of episodes to three a week. Not sure which episode I'd cut; probably Tuesday or Thursday. I think the quality of the show would improve if there was less pressure on the cast and crew to produce more episodes. Storylines would be less stretched out and viewers might be more likely to get excited about upcoming episodes if they don't feel like their soap viewing has reached saturation point.
I'd also modernise some of the sets. The market can stay the same and the houses are fine as they are, but I'd redo the Vic and the cafe to give them a more modern look. My axing list: *Sean Slater - worst character in years *Peggy Mitchell - doesn't add much, and I'm not keen on her panto-style acting *Charlie Slater - boring and pointless *Billy Mitchell - not very interesting, don't think he's a great actor either, can't think where his character is going *Honey Mitchell - bad actress, tedious to watch *Dawn Swann - another god-awful character/actress *Kevin Wicks - can't act, cliched *Gus Smith - what's the point in keeping him? *Garry Hobbs - run his course *Minty Peterson - going nowhere *Bradley Branning - ruined Last edited by Fizzy Dog : 12-03-2007 at 16:43. |

My personal opinion is that at the moment EE can't lost the Ian, Jane, Lucy, Peter, Pat, Dot, Jim, Peggy, Phil, Billy, Charlie, Mo, Garry and Minty because they are the few characters that have past connections and give familiarity to the show.
The only people I would axed would be Rob, Dawn, Li and Stella (At the end of the story) Any character can be made to work, what I would do is rebuild characters who haven't been working eg Garry, Minty, Keith, Mickey, Carly etc make changes to their character like make them mature, give them more responsibility. Just look at the Corrie Story of Jason and Holly and you can see how responsibillity can help a character mature and become more interesting and even add depth. I would save Naomi from the axe, and introduce her brother and mother also her father but he would struggle to accept Naomi's sexuality and because of it lose his family leading to him killing himself, a big story that would build over 6 months giving us the chance to get to know the characters before the dad's departure. I would also introduce a Polish girl working in the pub who would be Naomi's love interest. Pretti's mother, father and younger sister would move into the Square, A new Hindu woman would start work on the market and she and Minty would fall for each other but she is still grieving for her husband who died earlier in the year of Aids and also when SJ turns up with Minty's baby it causes more strain on their relationship. Steven Beale would be recast. Pat and Shirley would buy the Vic, Nico would return and him and Carly would get back together and get a flat of their own. Shirley, Pat, Dean and Steven Beale would live above the pub. Jean Slater, Jack Edwards and Guizin Osman would be brought back. |

I would like to see bradley and stacey getting married and seeing all the slaters girls arrive back for their wedding episode special such as zoe, kat and alfie and lynne and belinda and little mo.
I would like to see some of bradley family return such as the jackson family as they are related to the brannings as they are related through bradley dad max and his grandad jim and see them coming back for bradley and stacey wedding and mixing with the slater family and see the arrival of bradley aunt carol and cousin's bianca and robbie and sonia and martin returning as they are all related to bradley through his dad max and grandad jim as carol is max's sister and jim;s daughter as i would like to see carol mixing in with the slaters family to see how they get on with each other before the wedding takes place like a hen night before the wedding as bradley and stacey are getting married and they are related to bradley. Also seeing carol and her brood interacting with this side of the branning family which is here now such as his dad max and stepmum tanya and lauren and abi as i think it would be great to see both sides of each of their family together for the first time to see how they all get on together with the slaters as i could see loads of fighting as the slaters and brannings seem to come from the same mould as both families seem more alike then what we may be believe and i would love to see that happening between both branches of their families as it would take up three or four episodes to see carol's family and them meeting the slaters and this side of the brannings which are already here and seeing carol and bianca and sonia mixing with the slater girls would be great to see and them also mixing with stacey as well and her mum jean and see how they would all get on together. I would want to see the slaters and branning family interact with one another to see how they got on such as bradley aunt carol with Big Mo and Charlie and stacey's mum Jean and how bianca would get on with stacey cousins such as belinda and kat and lynne and zoe as i believe bianca would get on with them as she was a party girl herself and i could see bianca and stacey really getting on as they are both fun girls who are gobby but they could clash a little bit as well. what do you think.

If I were Producer...
I would Axe all of the Millers apart from Mickey as I feel he still has some depth to him which could be explored
Get Pat a nice love interest - possibly Bert, yet their relationship is placed in big jeopardy when Pat becomes emotionally strained after receiving poison pen letters signed 'J' Id get Lisa Fowler back who would end up in a huge showdown with Stella for Phils affections and when Stella pulls a knife Phil sees Stella is not all there Kat and Alfie return from America with Kat 8 months gone. Zoe would also return to start a new life with her Mum Stacey and Bradley get hitched Gus leaves Walford for Pastures new Janine returns - turning out to be the one sending Pat poison pen letters |
