Eastenders: Positives & Negatives
What are your high points and low points of Eastenders at the moment? This can include characters, episodes, storylines, characters interaction etc.
I'll give mine: + Ronnie Mitchell - Couldn't stand her before but she's really become my favourite Mitchell. She seems to be the only one with her head screwed on at the moment and I'm loving her pairing with Max. Nice friendship they have brewing. She is definatly EE's strongest female at the moment I predict big things for her. + The Mitchell's - I found the Mitchell dinner episode very powerful and with some great acting all around. I don't trust Archie for one moment but his scenes with Phil were strong and it's nice to get an insight on the history of Eastenders' most famous family. More family history please EE! + Masala Masood vs. Beale - I love the Masoods anyway, but giving them rivalry with Ian was a genius move as they are all brilliant characters. It's great television. + Sean/Roxy's wedding - What a great episode. I loved how there were so many characters in the episode and it wasn't focused on the same old, same old. We had scenes with the brilliant Denise and Lucas, the arrival of Suzy, Peggy and Archie's bombshell and Christian being his usual hilarious self. + Jean - Such a sweet lady and she is portrayed brilliantly. I really hope Ted comes back and they continue their relationship - she deserves some happiness. ------------------------------------- - Jack - A big weak link to the Branning family. Max and Suzy are fantastic whereas he is such a bore. I can't work him out which is what I don't like about him - we have no idea about this guy and he just seems to be a total arse. I hope Max beats him and gets his family back. - Billy and Honey's unhappiness - Have they ever been happy? It's not fair now, and Ian deciding to not sell the stall was just nasty and I really felt for them. I can't bear to watch them unhappy and I dread her exit. - Sean - I've never liked Sean, but he has been very funny the past few weeks which is what I don't like. This is the same guy who tried to murder Gus and has down countless bullyish and nasty things to people, yet now he's the local comedian and is always smiling and dancing around. Personality transplant or what? - Clare - She has really dissapointed me the past few weeks and every scene she appeared in seemed to drag and was incredibly boring. So glad she's gone. Terrible character who the writers had no idea what to do with. - Darren - The goatee storyline. Seriously, why is he here? |

As Ronnie said, Max and Jack are cut from the same cloth. Max is a love rat and it always amazes me about how much support he gets from DS users. If Jack cheats on Tanya then I will think he is as bad as Max.

I think they are both bad - Jack is just more fake it seems - where as with Max what you see is really what you are getting at this stage - everyone knows what he is like, where as Jack - no one really has seen the true him yet, just bits and peices. Ronnie knows he is capable of being a cheater and manipulator, but even she doesnt know to what extent yet - as she has no idea about Roxy. And Tanya knows this to - even to a larger extent - Jack told Tanya that he slept with a second woman behind Ronnie's back(Tanya also knew about Selina) - so you would think that would cause Tanya to see what he can do - but, apparently she did not wisen up after Max. Max cheated again and again - and you'd think she'd learn the "best predictor of the future is the past" lesson - and realise if Jack would end up cheating twice on another woman, why would he be different with her? Thats why I dont like Tanya for doing this - she is going in circles, not growing like you would think. People are unaware of Jack's ways right now, I think - and we have no sympathy towards the character yet - I cant think of any thing he has done that would make us feel bad for him? Unlike Max - who despite his wrong doings, we see him as human - and we get to see him vulnerable. When is the last time we really saw Jack like that - to enough of an extent that it deepens his character. I'd say kind of..never.. Jack hadnt warmed to a lot of people before this started, but I dont remember there being so many haters until this Tanya business started. |

Ok, well, positives first:
+ Ronnie's characterisation has improved in leaps and bounds, which is nice to see. She is no longer quite so one-dimensional (a Mitchell trait, I know). +Roxy and Sean: I am liking this atm, but it may get into overkill shortly. I think I would prefer them to stay together - the fact that they are not, is casting an increasing shadow over things. +Masoods vs. Beales - an entertaining storyline. THe best atm, imo. +Jane Beale - fantastic character. Anything with her is great (even when she is only palying a bit-part) +Bianca - as much as I hate to say it I am warming a little more to Bianca. Perhaps it is because she is a link to the past (even if it was a time that didn't really interest me that much), but its nice to have her instead of the new Mitchells and Brannings who have only been around for a few years and have no history. +Ricky - the same as above really. I always liked Ricky. Now for the negatives: - The Vic: this has been a problem since 06. The Vic is a stale environment that lacks atmoshpere. Given that its the central location for the show this needs to change asap. For years now the Vic just hasn't sparkled with electricty like it did in the days of Angie and Den; Sharon and Grant, Pat and Frank, early years of Peggy and Phil, Alfie and Kat, and most recently Chrissie. it needs that sparkle back again. Chrissie Watts showed that you don't HAVE to have a couple in charge, so they don't have to wait for that. This is a real problem for the show. -The Mitchells. In contrast to the op I cannot abide this clan. R&R were ok so long as they were only lossely connected, but now they are trying to incorporate them more I am starting to have a dislike for them. I cannot abide Peggy (anymore), nor Phil, nor Ben, nor Billy. They all need to go, QUICK SMART. Get rid of them, and EE will get some of its energy back. ATM, they are like black holes, bringing everything around them down. -Hangers-on: there are too many hangers-on characters in EE atm, and each time I see one I think how contrived and ridiculous it is that they are still in the show. Example: Darren. Why is he still around??? Shirley. Great actress, but the character came to Walford specifically to find her children and become close to them - when they went, she should have too. The fact that she hasn;t doesn't ring true to her character imo. -Ben Mitchell. Every time I see that miserable excuse for a character I think "they killed Kathy off for this??" Either dump him, or re-cast and re-characterise him. -Tanya Branning. What a mess they've made of her. In fact the entire Branning clan is rubbish in comparison to what it was. I still like Bradley and think he is a good character, but the rest.... -Kids. EE is fast turning into an Aussie soap, where the mean age is around 20. There are way too many children and young teenagers on the show. A good bout of measles is needed desperately. Britain has an aging population, but to look at EE you'd think there was a baby boom or something. |

I'm not overstruck on Jack, the character is so dull and bland
nothing entertaining about him at all. he's just an ex-copper, that's basically it. |

Although I do feel Ricky has wanderied around rather aimlessly since he came back, but that should be sorted out soon I guess. I also feel the Foxes are underused and are in danger of stagnating. |

Positives:
Max/Tanya/Jack/Ronnie/Roxy/Sean - I think this storyline is developing really well and I love the way all characters are intertwined with each other. I can't wait for the inevitable truth about Roxy and Jack coming out and seeing how Sean and Ronnie in particular will react. Ronnie has quickly become one of my favourite characters and we've had a real insight into her over the last few months. Moreover, all six characters are played by brilliant actors. Well, maybe not Jack Ricky and Bianca - I think their return has been a huge success, compared to a lot of soap returns that haven't. I think they've settled back into the square nicely and I like their family dynamic with Pat and the kids. Suzy's pink handbag - I can't wait to find out what she's hiding in it! ![]() Tracy - Loved her character analyses on the Mitchells the other night! Hopefully the writers will give her more lines as she's terrific! ![]() Archie Mitchell - He's been a brilliant addition to the show and has the potential to be a fantastic villain. I'll never forget his scene with Ronnie in Weymouth where he threatened to "break" her, that was the real Archie IMO, and the Archie that Peggy, Roxy, Phil and everyone else sees is an act. There must be more to Archie's hatred for Ronnie though, it can't be just because she was a rebellious teenager, if that was the case Ian would have murdered Lucy a long time ago . I'm thinking Ronnie has a few more skeletons in her closet and I think that Glenda could have a lot to do with it.Lucas/Denise - Lucas is a really good character and its nice to know that he has turned his life around. I enjoyed their scenes at Roxy and Sean's wedding when she confided in him how empty she feels since losing Kevin. Hopefully, Denise will start to trust Lucas again and maybe they'll even get back together. The Masoods - As a family they're great, Zainab especially but I want to learn more about their past. We know that Zainab's family tried to kill her because she cheated on her first husband with Masood, but they never elaborated on that and I'd like to find out more. Christian - Another great newcomer. I love his scenes with Ian and Jane and Roxy. One of my favourite lines of EE 2008 was when he said to Bianca and Jane: "I don't eat at the fish buffet" when they were wearing the fish costumes at that do in the Vic. Hopefully, he'll get a proper storyline soon!Bradley and Stacey - I'm glad the writers have put them back together and not dragged out their separation. They have very good chemistry together and with the dire Clare gone, I think their relationship is going to flourish more. I also love their scenes with Dot! Shirley and Heather - my favourite double act on the square! Jean - Gillian Wright is sublime as Jean. Whilst also being outstanding at the powerful, emotional drama, its her comedy scenes I like best, like after Charlie's tarantula encounter when she started putting the plugs in all the sinks 'cause she was afraid he could be climbing up the pipes, and asked Sean what if it was a black widow?! That still makes me LOL Negatives: Lucy - She's a good actress but the character is going round in circles. They need to branch out from this "teen tearaway" stuff that seems like its been going on forever. I was very disappointed when Lucy came home after running away, every bit the brat she was when she left. I thought her time on the streets would have changed her significantly but she's still a manipulative little cow! The axings of Honey and Yolande - I'm still cross that Santer's getting rid of them and do not buy his "run out of storylines" excuse. Honey is a young woman with a husband and two infant children. That alone opens up several storyline possibilities, especially since Janet has Downs syndrome and we were promised that we'd see her grow up on the square only for
Spoiler
Yolande, by the same token, is part of the fabric of the square now and why, all of a sudden, must she be axed for not having "anywhere left to go" ![]()
Spoiler
![]() Darren Miller - I fail to see why they didn't pack him off with Mickey and Keith. Why did they keep him on? So we could see him sleep on Yolande's couch and tell Libby he's growing a goatee - Honey and Yolande are axed over this? Ben Mitchell - There have been some bad child actors in soap, but no one even comes close to the atrocity that is Ben. Arthur's bench has more talent than Charlie Jones, as harsh as that sounds. He ruined the otherwise-perfect Mitchell scenes this week, as he has many other scenes with that annoying, whinging face and voice of his He irritates me so much and is in dire need of a recastMinty and Garry - :yawn: Where they ever funny? 'Cause they're certainly not now. |

Darren Miller is dead-wood that is taking up quality eastenders time and viewing. the goatee storyline was complete nonsense, and he's not a particulatly likeable character either.

I'm thinking Ronnie has a few more skeletons in her closet and I think that Glenda could have a lot to do with it.All the talk about how violent Archie and Eric's dad was and how this gets passed down could be a clue that Archie physically and mentally abused Glenda, driving her in to the arms of Eric. You never know, this Maureen Loftus woman who Archie said was in love with Eric and who he wanted to run away with, may well have been Glenda and he managed to talk Eric out of it leaving Glenda devastated (and pregnant). She could have finally ran away from him when Ronnie was pregnant because of the abuse he gave her over the shame that 'her' daughter was bringing on the family. And yes I know that this probably won't happen but I think there's a possibility that there's more to this back history of Archie/Glenda/Eric/Peggy than we know yet. I also really hope that early next year they bring Glenda in to add another dynamic to the family. It'd also be nice to see somebody else rival Peggy for the 'top dog' spot. |

I certainly understand why people are upset over the fact that EE axe Honey and Yolande, and keep Darren.
G Hawkins truely is a plank of wood. I'm not keen on Liam much either (James Forde) Ricky's son, cannot warm to that kid at all. |

There are way too many children and young teenagers on the show. A good bout of measles is needed desperately. Britain has an aging population, but to look at EE you'd think there was a baby boom or something. I disagree, the Mitchell’s have their place. As long as it isn’t Steve McFadden and Babs taking the limelight (I am cool with that).. Tuesday and Thursdays episode didn’t bore me in the slightness in fact they felt like a new family..The sisters, archie and Ben are still relatively fresh characters so I don’t see what the problem is… I agree with what you are saying about Darren but the character is one of the few youngsters in walford that’s driven.. He is business/street smart also but in the end I think those episodes with jack sort of showed his potential.. He is being groomed for bigger things when he gets older.. But at this point they don’t know what to do with him.. I don’t know how you can say Shirley is a hanger on, she came to walford for her children fought an uphill struggle to win them over..Then Kevin dies and they both say she should stay away..She wasn’t going to return back to Portsmouth (where she had nothing) was she? Shirley is one of the only characters that can turn sh%@ to gold..I think she is the only character jack wouldn’t bring down in a scene.. Re-characterise Ben? I know the actor is irksome but I think you miss the whole point of Ben Mitchell. He is suppose to be the polar opposite to every thing that is Mitchell.. He is obviously going to be seeking advice from Christian very soon.. ![]() Tanya!!! I know her character is a bit sporadic atm but be that as it may she is arguable the leading female of the show..Maybe I've missed the point of what a “hanger on” is ![]() I don’t now how you can complain about the teenagers in EE..Especiallly when the show barely had any 2 or so years ago (which didn’t ring true). Most of these teens are linked to existing families anyway so its hardly H&A…What wrong with laying the foundation for the future now before the likes of Stacey, Tanya, Roxy, Ronny e.t.c have moved on? Ps other than Lucy and Ben which one of these teenagers has really been given a proper storyline? |

I think one of the postives is some decent young actors/actresses/charecters.
They've messed up with Lucy's charecter, but Lauren, Peter & Abi are all good charecters and played very well. Plenty of scope too for future storylines |

Every Soap has its highs and lows but EastEnders has been Fantastic and consistent.
The many highs of it are :, Ronnie - she's a great character and played by a brilliant actress - great potential in her to be a huge character. also Masoods and Ian business idea The Jacksons Bianca and Ricky's returns have been great for the show. Introduction of Archie Suzy Branning - Great potential Sean/Roxy married Bradley/Stacey/Dot Shirley/Heather The lows are Jack and Tanya's relationship which is so contrieved but does give a big showdown to Jack and Max also I hope Max gets shot an then Tanya will see that Jack is dangerous. also Ben is too weak a character to be involved in heavy scenes keep him for comedy only. |

Gary and Minty remind me so much of men behaving badly.
Gazza and Mints, are just like Gary and Tony 2 lonely flat-mates waiting for women to enter their lives they are EE's answer to men behaving badly. |

Ronnie- I've always liked her as a character but this recent storyline with her baby and Archie has really brought her in to her own and it's still early days. I also think there's a lot of places they can take the character as she has so many depths to her and is a terrific addition to the square. Sam Janus is also a brilliant actress and very well cast in the role of Ronnie. Roxy- Although as a character she hasn't been given as many layers as Ronnie I like how she provides a certain amount of comedy in to the Mitchell family, whilst also being able to do the emotional scenes well. Max- After the big revelation at Christmas I went off Max but lately I've actually started to really warm to him lately, Jack- I know this will be an unpopular choice and although I also don't like Jack with Tanya I think he still has the potential to get better as a character. Many of his secrets are yet to come out and I hope that it will warm viewers to him more, like it did with Ronnie. They should him back with Ronnie soon IMO. Negatives Lucy- she's become such an annoying character and the writers seem unable to do anything else with her except portray her as a nasty, spiteful and deceiving teenager. Peggy- Although she's become a very central character I think they've put her in her comfort zone behind the bar at the Vic. They need to bring in somebody to take the pub away from her and i would LOVE to see them bring in Glenda (Ronnie and Roxy's mum) to own the Queen Vic, especially with Archie being around. |

Positives:
-Ricky, Bianca & her clan! I've always liked Ricky, Bianca is growing on me again & I think is a fantastic character, & the girl who plays Whitney is a very good actress. -Stacey & Bradley back together; they have a great partnership. -Max & Lauren - both good characters, played well by Jake & Madeline. Hope Lauren gets some more storylines soon. -Jean - great actress, good at providing the humour as well as doing more serious stuff. -Shirley & Heather - hilarious together, Linda Henry in particular is a great actress. -Ian & Peter Beale; good characters/actors. -The Masoods - all have grown on me & I really like the whole family now. -Dot & Pat - still brilliant characters after all these years. Negatives: -The Mitchells. Still can't stand Ronnie & Roxy, Ben isn't a good actor, Peggy has become too OTT and a caricature, & Phil hasn't had a decent storyline in ages. (Although, if paired up with Shirley, I think he could be good again.) Billy & Honey - too much misery. -Tanya & Abi. Abi is way too immature and Tanya's character has been totally ruined this year. -Libby & Darren - a bit pointless. -Jack - has helped to ruin Tanya's character... -Christian - I know he is popular on here but I just cannot warm to him. -Too much Lucy; give Peter a storyline! He's a better actor. |

. I'm thinking Ronnie has a few more skeletons in her closet and I think that Glenda could have a lot to do with it.
when they were wearing the fish costumes at that do in the Vic. Hopefully, he'll get a proper storyline soon!
