how does she keep going? I imagine Madonna will be like that too

Busters exit was extremely boring,they could have done so much more than that for the exit.

 

Im happy Ronnie is going as i havnt enjoyed her for a long time now, Roxy i can take or leave but i dont think either will be missed too much as they have run their course.

The problem with Ronnie is that they're really inconsistent with the writing, so it's no surprise Sam Womack doesn't want to put the effort. When the material is there, she delivers - i.e. the scenes during the rape trial verdict. I feel they're also quite inconsistent with Stacey too. Ronnie & Stacey were the centre of the show in the 2007-11 era and although both have had some good moments (particularly Stacey) since their return, they're both a long way from their original stints.

 

Roxy only ever felt like a supporting character for Ronnie and has mostly come into her own when away from Ronnie (during her break and the Dean storyline).

 

Given the way they've written I don't think she's salvageable now (as much as it saddens me to say) and

the rumoured death would be a fitting ending as most of her story arc has been about being the tragic heroine. Plus it allows her to finally get her comeuppance for the killings of Carl and Fatboy. Roxy on the other hand is surprising to hear about! I think they would be better to go down the route of her being too distraught to stick around and leaving with Amy.

Ridiculous decision. They make the show.

they really don't. Ronnie especially has become such a bore to watch

I'm finding it hard to feel sorry for Tina when she just left Sonia to do it all.

 

Marie getting her 5 minutes of fame *.*

but its Sonia though.

Kim today! :lol:

For the first time in a long time I felt lost with the show last night.

 

I felt as if I had missed an episode, gone from Masoods leaving party to not even being in the episode, to Kims sudden obsession with driving when she been using the bus recently, going with Denise to the scan on the bus, surely if going to start some storyline they could of had her in car parking wrong. And no real fall out or discovery of Buster leaving , he'd just gone and Shirley automatically knew and seemed to of moved straight on.

 

I quite enjoyed DTC's run on the show, there was stuff I didnt agree with but overall was pretty good but I'm not sure Sean O'connor going to keep me interested already axed majority of characters that I liked and felt had more to give, I'm interested to see where he goes I know he doesnt like sensationalism but if we got BinGate and BlueBadgeGate as our exciting storylines of things to come then I'm not looking forward to the future.

I agree about it feeling like an episode was skipped, particularly with Masood not appearing but with the suggestion that he was gone (when Stacey said his house was now empty). I'm guessing he returns for some reason before properly leaving.

 

I don't think we need to prepare ourselves for storylines on bins and other Lorraine Newman-esque matters, I think that was just an attempt at bringing in realism to the show. It also feels like these recent episodes have been much more character focused which is important before injecting a storyline into the mix. I'd take these sort of filler episodes over other rubbish we're usually subjected to, because at least we see the characters actually being NICE to each other, which makes them people you care about and actually root for when a storyline is put into the mix. That's what has made the most iconic storylines so memorable and successful: we actually cared about the characters and were eager to see what happened to them in the aftermath, not just where the story would take us.

 

I really liked the fact the duff duff ended on a happy Martin and Stacey embrace. The end of the show doesn't have to be a cliffhanger every time, because that would only, and has only, dampened the impact of a killer duff duff. It felt quite old school Eastenders, where duff duffs were put at the end of a natural scene rather than a scene that was only put in so that you'd tune in next time, only for whatever it was to be concluded in the first five minutes of the succeeding episode.

Back when it started the duff duff was hardly ever dramatic. My mum told one episode ended with Pauline putting the bins out*.*

Iconic.

not little Pearl stealing the show tho.

Johnny is not likeable at all.

amazing :rofl:

with Ronnie and Linda leaving who do you think should be the new leading lady? I nominate HONEY.

Honey is such a fav, she just needs a good storyline

No internet so I'm barely keeping up.

 

Kim is SLAYING me in this driving storyline. Pearl is brilliant as well, already got so much attitude.

 

I'm all for these character driven storylines. As good as DTC could be, I don't want anymore Gavin-sequel stories.

I think it'll be Honey! She's likeable, has good morals (unlike most of the characters) and is very entertaining. She's crying out for a meaty storyline to put her at the centre of the show.

Queen Honey (the nicest character in ANY soap EVER) for landlady plz.
