It is shite, isn't it? I'm watching it now and it's rubbish.

TidyDancer · 10/02/2012 20:13

I can't stand him either, and I'm not a 'religious' watched of EE at all.

I honestly can't understand why he's even in it.

Eglu · 10/02/2012 20:14

He is ridiculously pantomime.

BerryMojito · 10/02/2012 20:15

Oh God, I am so glad it is not just me! I have pretty much stopped watching (have been addicted for years Blush). I just loathe him, he makes my skin crawl and is just completely ridiculous.

LineRunner · 10/02/2012 20:17

The whole Amy story is fucking awful.

Methe · 10/02/2012 20:18

YANBU!

Eglu · 10/02/2012 20:20

Also, have you ever seen 3 brothers look less like they are related.

leftmymistletoeatthedoor · 10/02/2012 20:20

Yanbu I almost started this thread last night.

Why on earth is he so.....crap. He's like someones told him to be 'delboy but evil'. So wrong.

NobodySpecial · 10/02/2012 20:22

Ooh...I had a randy dream about Derek few nights ago...I felt sick when I woke up, and now I feel sick everytime I see him on TV...can't believe of all the people in the world I dreamt about him. And that was my first post natal sexual experience....brilliant Hmm.

NobodySpecial · 10/02/2012 20:23

YANBU btw

Goolash · 10/02/2012 20:24

Arghhhh

ALL of the stoopid East End Gangsaaaars. The Mitchell clan have to go for a start.

LittleLucifer · 10/02/2012 20:24

I've just turned over in disgust. What a load of bollocks. I hate Derek.

Methe · 10/02/2012 20:26

And he's in almost every fucking scene too!

ValarMorghulis · 10/02/2012 20:26

I don't watch EE very often but have seen a few episodes with him in. I agree he is a ridiculous character. It is very badly acted and is so very fake.

mamalovesmojitos · 10/02/2012 20:26

YANBU he is ruining the whole soap. I don't think I can watch this any more.

LineRunner · 10/02/2012 20:28

Rubbish. Just fucking rubbish.

KellyKettle · 10/02/2012 20:28

YANBU he is awful. I've stopped watching & agree that the Amy storyline is crap.

Gumby · 10/02/2012 20:28

What is happening? Dh Not letting me watch
Is he threatening roxy cos of Amy?

LineRunner · 10/02/2012 20:29

It's a shame for Rita Simons because she is doing her best, god love her.

aquashiv · 10/02/2012 20:41

I have never seen an episode where he has actually done anything to warrant his fearful title. There is lots of alluding to him being a Gangsta but apart from looking like a mean looking puffa fish what does he do? The last scam was to try and steal metal from rail way tracks. What kind of self respecting criminal would bother doing that? Sure enough along came the Key stone cops.

bigheartedwoman · 10/02/2012 20:45

(whispers) he was on Doctor Who tonight? I only know this because my son watches BBC 3 Apart from his mustache, he was exactly the same!

mrsjay · 10/02/2012 20:51

I had to leave the room when dd was watching all this shit about FAMILIY and the brannings did me in , and yes he is the same patomime baddie in THAT dr who episode

HaveYouTakenLeaveOfYourCervix · 10/02/2012 20:53

he's shite. laughably shite.

i once had an excellent dream about jack though.

mrsjay · 10/02/2012 20:55

I think we all know his dad was freddie foreman , I wonder if he has taken his insperation from the old east end gangsters Hmm

LynetteScavo · 10/02/2012 20:57

His death with be fabulous viewing.

Not that I normally like that kind of thing, but he will come to a hideous end.

He reminds me of FIL who would like to be like Derek, but can't quite manage it because he's too nice.
