To never watch East Enders again until.....

[busybusybust]

they get rid of cartoon villain 'Derek'?

AAAARRRRHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Do we know if he is in long term or not ?

Bloody hope not!

I cant see him lasting long maybe till phill gets back from holiday prison ,

I have given up on EE. My sympathies with the randy dream, sick came up my throat at the thought.

He disgusts me in rl too, csa dodger, tens of thousands in back pay outstanding according to the press.

what happened to Amy?

I cant wait for him to go hopefully die painfully
I cringe through every single scene.

Jack droped the case because roxy said she would get him sent down for forging her signature so he dropped it and Amy went back home to the mitchells.

SPOILER ALERT

Derek hires a hit man to try to get rid of roxy and rumour has it he rapes her too :(

Derek just doesn't fit with the rest of his family though does he?

DH made me watch Corrie for the first time in about seven years, I had no idea what was going on. I'm going to give up EE too, really not keeping up and don't really like the characters.

What forged signature?

Blimey at the spoiler, does he get the wrong person, I understand someone else gets killed off

Spoiler

Heather

the thing that bothers me most about EE is the child actors, the little girl who 'plays' amy is, imo, far too young to understand that what is going on is make believe, she is in scenes with shouting and yelling and being cuddled and kissed by 'daddy' (im sure scott maslen is a nice guy but how do the parents now teach her to diferenciate(sp?) between 'daddy', or 'mummy' forthat matter, and strangers?) it just worries me.

I've heard that

SPOILER

Ben kills Heather. Not read a full storyline for it yet though. Certainly not heard of Roxy leaving, so maybe Derek doesn't make it happen.

I agree, jesuswhatnext. The child who plays Amy just looks soooo sad and lost and uncomfortable sometimes, clearly looking at an adult off camera for salvation from the nonsense of 'Take 99 - Jack Says, "You're my dawta an' I love ya," for the umpteenth time.

Can someone send a link to this thread to the bbc? They might get rid of Derek quicker that way if they realise that no-one likes the slimey little toad.

And, is it just me, or do some of the other actors looked really embarrassed acting with him? (Derek.)

I thought that line...

By the way, before anyone says "if you hate him he's doing a good job", I dont hate the character because he is nasty, I like a good villain.
He is just. So. Shite.

I knew this would be about Derek before I opened the thread! He is dire, wish the BBC would get rid of him!

I knew this was going to be about Derek. He's so awful. Why is everyone so scared of him? Tiffany's more menacing than he is.

The girl who plays Amy does look a little bewildered sometimes, Although I thought the scene when she kissed Jack was quite sweet. She must feel comfortable with him otherwise she wouldn't have done it. Presumably her real life mother is standing 2 feet away from her at the time.

I can't understand why they're all shit scared of him. He's a joke.

Come one BBC, is this really the best you can do

I have only watched one or two episodes over the last few weeks because I just can't stand to watch Derek. He just makes me all stabby and annoyed.

He's about as scary as the bloke who goes into my corner shop for his lottery tickets every Saturday and gruffly asks for twenty bensons and a tin of kit-e-kat.

Can't stand Derek, the storylines he's involved in or his nasty, toady face. I also don't "get" why so many of the other characters seem to fawn over him. Helloooooo! He served time and he's clearly a nasty cunt, or aleast meant to be

Mind you, I've seen scarier panto villans, but there you go.

The script writers must be in crisis. He's pointless.

He looks like a pathetic old git on his way to the day centre.

At least Grant and Phil were a bit 'tasty' in their day.

I gave up watching this when the Kat and the stolen baby storyline was in the pipelines.

So glad I haven't bothered since.

I daydream about Michael Moon, a lot!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this about Derek. I have to admit even me, who usually watches it religeously (Iplayer etc if I miss it) has not been bothered the past few weeks.

Would love to see how the ratings have been lately.
