Where do I start ? The poor acting ?, the poor scripts ? the plot inconsistancies ?

Last weeks omnibus split the programme between Archie's demise and the feuding Mitchells and the Yoof of the square. I'll leave The Mitchells bun fight and pick on the Yoof Catfight and Shagfest... well, possible the least aggressive fight between 2-3 teenage girls I have ever seen ? as for the Shagging.. unbelieveable ! Watney had been regularly serviced by the paedo and yet suddenly she wants a bonk despite carrying a suitcase full of " issues". Next up, Lucy Beales overacting eyebrows decide thay want some action. Upon spotting an unused condom the descision is made.... despite having had the flat trashed she still felt relaxed enough to get her first one "over with" without any worries ?.. how queer !

I get annoyed by the way that whilst none of them seem to ever leave the confines of that one small residential square, whenever something comes up that does necessitate them needing to make a trip further afield all of a sudden a car is inexplicably available, parked outside their house.

Exactly how many people living in the east end of London own cars that they can park outside their homes for use once or twice a year? They have a tube station round the corner which gives them access to the rest of the city and further afield by connecting rail services, I can't see the need for these cars. Given the expense of keeping a car in this day and age, especially in the city of London (congestion charge, parking fees etc.) it seems unlikely that most residents could actually afford one, particularly for such little use.

I hate the fact the door leading upstairs in the Vic is the same door as the tube station *shakes head*

Agreed. It really is absolute dross. I'd say Coronation Street has been MILES better than Eastenders for well over a decade now. Sharper scripts with better, more believable and relevant plots.

If there is any justice, Eastenders will go the way of Crossroads and El Dorado in the next few years.

Bang on!

here's a little test - shut you eyes and think of an image from Eastenders - it's almost certain the predominant background colour of that image is grey.

The program is humourless and colourless misery.
 






Oh god, where do I start? here are a few of my pet hates:

. The constant deflating of Phil Mitchell. You want to solve global warming? Just sit Phil Mitchell on top of the Vatican and let him suck in all the carbon emissions. He can then be sent into space where he will orbit the earth and slowly release all the emmissions thus returning to the square with "allo mum".

. Coppers. Every time there is a murder or some sort of investigation the writers without hesitation employ the most shocking and unbelievable actors and actresses to play the police. Half of them who are meant to be INVESTIGATING don't actually investigate as they are all mute.

. As mentioned above, Lucy Beale's eye brows. Whoever plays here can't act so a better use for her and those eyebrows would be a window cleaner, you wouldn't even need a ladder. Oh and all the kid's, none of them can act.

The slowly diminishing hair of Max Branning, except it your bald!!!, Heathers lack of effort to lose weight, The fact Darren is perceived as a 20 something year old when he looks about 12 and the fact he had a baby with the sugar monster, it would never ever happen even if you had consumed your own body weight in rum.

There are many other things I hate but I'll be writing all day.

I find the whole programme just puts a downer on the evening.
I'm invariably on the laptop in the front room when the missus is watching it, and the constant SCREAMING arguments on that show actually invades and intrudes on the peace of my evening. It almost feels as though there is an actual argument kicking off in my living room, even though its only on the tellybox.

That miserable show actually EXUDES its own negative vibe into my house, and presumably into homes up and down the country. I'm getting quite pissed off just thinking about it now. It just puts a downer on everything.

I hate the fact that pretty much every actor, especially the younger ones, are well spoken drama school luvvies who think that dropping the odd aitch makes them cock-er-nee. Lettia Dean who played Sharon being a prime example. Poshest cock-er-nee I've ever heard. The older Sharon got the posher she was.

In Coronation Street they seem to use proper Mancs, or at least actors who can do a passable Manc accent. Same with Emerdale Farm using proper sounding northerners.

I'll tell you what else pisses me off is the script writers' constant berating of the larger than life Heather Trott. It seems that every possible opportunity to make a joke of her weight is taken up and I'm left wondering if the actress who plays her is under strict instruction to eat like a pig so as not to spoil the torrent of abuse directed her way.

The recent "who got Heather preggers" storyline emphasises this with all the snide jibes about how unlikely it had seemed that the fat heffer would ever get laid. They never miss a trick when it comes to making light of her big fat belly and surely it can't be good for the real life actress' confidence.

Yes she's fat and ugly, but so are MILLIONS of people in this country so she is a fair representative of a particular section of the British public and it isn't as if every one of them is failing to reproduce because let me tell you some of these fat lazy chunkers are dropping sprogs like there's no tomorrow so somebody's got to be shagging them all.

Clearly I don't fancy her but I do feel a bit sorry for her. There're always comedy characters in 'enders who become the butt of everyone's jokes (Barry springs to mind for one) but constantly picking on her weight seems a bit harsh to me. After all you wouldn't get away with that sort of behaviour at work without getting reported to HR for bullying.

I wonder if the government has some vested interest in her character, demanding that as much misery is dumped on her as possible for being a fatty so as to try and dissuade our ever growing population to cut down the calories a little, thereby reducing the strain on the NHS.
