When I said I wanted Suzy to bugger off, I just meant to go and flirt with someone else, not leave the show! EE's approach to casting recently has been strange. First Claire and now Suzy, pretty much axed almost as soon as they hit the screen. What happened to giving the characters and actors a little time to settle in?

 

I agree. I'll said it before on other forums and talking to people and I'll say it again - they are turning Eastenders very slowly into The Brannings.

 

Me and my sister were joking that the makers of the show joke to the likes of Shirley, Heather and Big Mo that "it'll be your turn soon", as it seems a lot of characters are pushed into the background or out of the picture completely.

 

Another theory that comes into mind is The Brannings are "marketable". Tanya a rather good looking woman, Jack a good looking bloke - well whatever you want to decide there. Max - the "villian" wanting revenge, Dot the eccentric and lovelable old woman and Stacey - sexy young woman. On top of that Lauren and Abi faces fit as a pair of brats caught in the crossfire.

 

It seems the makers are using these to their advantage over the other soaps as this story and those said characters are their draw to get people to watch it. The thing is, people aren't interested.

 

I really thought after the buried alive story, that would be it and we'd move on from seeing it. Oh no, we have to have Max's revenge, Tanya unwilling not to go without c**k for a while and dating his brother and lord knows what else.

 

It's been nearly two years this storyline has been going on, and it's about time it came to a head. Whats the betting they drag this on until Christmas? :angry: :blink:

its really awful to hear about jon havin a 2nd stroke,i think him returning to the show and doin a vert heart warming episode was a great thing for him to do as im sure it was tough considering he was acting what really happened to him which i dont think has ever been done in a soap before,,i wish him the very best and i hope we once agaqin see him back on the square as he is a great asset to the show

 

as for the chaaractor mentione dthat will be leaving i dont understand as i think she fits the show well and has great depth to her plus she is a brilliant actress,,however i read in the sunday paper that apparantly she is getting on with a good few cast members

John Bardon hasnt had a second stroke it was confirmed however he is ill from the last stroke but is sid to be doing ok in hospital,,i hope everything is well and he recovers soon

No, Ronnie's daughter is dead.
