No major male.

 

When they destroy the characterisation of four women to SUCH A HUGE extent to protect one male, there is a problem. Combin that with the other stuff and fawning over male characters like Mick Carter and Jack, and it becomes obvious.

Nick Cotton was the first character to speak n the show, son of one of the biggest soap characters of all time, one of the big villains. He died 3 years ago. Next. Charlie and Jim for the impact on families and amount they were there also I'd say are quite major...

Charlie and Jim were unavoidabl3.

 

Nick Cotton died as they had nowhere to take his character. He was hardly ever in it anyway.

 

What is your excuse for the very bad and unrealistic events and female characterisation on Christmas then? Or the writers thinking Jack had a claim ovrr someone else's kid? My god Max is ruining this show. All of these events were somehow tied to his awful story.

Dunno how Charlie was unavoidable, the actor is still alive, you know.

 

What exactly are the realism problems with the female characters over Christmas? If you’re referring to Stacey, Tanya, Lauren and Abi the. I don’t see the issue. All four have acted completely in character based on their history and relationships. So what if you find Max unattractive, Stacey may not be as shallow as you and they’ve always had a bond and now more than a decade of shared history.

 

No, Jack did not have claim over Matthew. But he is Legally Matthew’s stepdad and had been raising him as his own for a year. Plus it was a reminder of Ronnie, being her only living offspring. Amy and Ricky had also developed bonds with him. I didn’t want Jack to get Matthew but he had his reasons for wanting him. Also, he didn’t get him, so I’m not sure what your complaint is there?

 

I guess Nick was a spent character but they didn’t have to kill him off. Ronnie was also a spent character.

 

It just seems like you’re trying to find problems where none exist. EE has had a lot of issues this past year, but this isn’t one of them.

Mixed feelings about the last 3 episodes, they in parts seemed very rushed or messy. The complete lack of Lauren time, Tanya vanishing, the the wilmot brown conclusion had very little impact considering how much of a role the storyline has taken up in the last few months. Hopefully the new years day episode will up the anty again.

 

Disappointed its Abi thats been killed off, but at least the baby has survived.

 

I thought Abi and Lauren were leaving ‘before the end of the year’ but it looks like they’ll be there on Monday at least. Unless they’ve shut off Abi’s ventilator off screen but would they do that without Tanya or Lauren? Also, It’s been on that both Tanya and Lauren have been almost completely absent in recent episodes.

 

I enjoyed the New Years stuff in the Vic but it is extremely odd that no one there seems to care about the Branning sisters. Whitney hasn’t batted an eyelid over Lauren’s fall. Ben, Jay and Donna aren’t that bothered their housemate will die, Sharon loved with Abi, all the Carters worked with her but no one appears that arsed, bless her.

Yeah, the whole nobody seeming to give a crap about Abi and Lauren thing is VERY bizarre. Abi's basically dead while her friends/flat mates are out getting pissed in the Vic? Okay then? It's kinda messing with the emotional impact of it all.

 

As for Tanya's disappearance...

 

 

Me storming to BBC HQ demanding to know where the f*** she's gone.

A big thumbs up to Martin and Stacey's scenes tho - especially in last nights episodes. Brilliant writing and James + Lacey have both been incredible.

Yes, its like its completly forgotten whats happened to them, their friends are all out without a care in the world. As i said myself earlier everything just seems rushed and they have lost the emotion in everything.

Karen might be the new face of the re-opening of the laundrette. SOS

I seen that, i like the idea and the person to go with it would suit.

So 2017 Eastenders is all done, it was hardly a vintage year, but what were your personal highlights?

 

For me:

 

 

 

 

Obviously with such a drought of actual drama, I had to go with things that made me cackle.

It's all about this, Queen Stacey

 

I think my two highlights was the Sonia/Sharon fight scene and the Christmas day episode

Finally slaggy Abi has gone.

 

Best moment of the year in EastEnders for me was Kathy twisting Willott-Brown's bollocks finally she got revenge.

 

Worst moment of me this Christmas was Max and his walking willy syndrome striking with Stacey yet again.

How was she a slag

Also even when Stacey us being an absolute twat of the highest order i f***ing stan. What a legend

 

 

 

 

Omg! When was that Sonia moment???

 

Best ever moment :lol:

 

I’d almost forgotten these classics:
