I know it is a tv programme and I know where the off switch is.

But the story line where jean has been conned out of thousands of pounds, then Michael making out her bipolar symptoms are becoming out of control.

I stopped watching EE when Hev was killed. Couldn't take anymore of the grimness of the show.

LucieMay · 07/06/2012 20:00

The storylinewith jean is extremely hard to watch. The guy who portrays Michaela is a fantastic actor though, so evil!

Doodlekitty · 07/06/2012 20:01

With ya Mchappy. I love EE but I'm not liking this at all and I have no links at ll to Bipolar, must be horrible if you are more familiar with it

rainydaysarebad · 07/06/2012 20:03

Yes its so frustrating let's hope kat gets to the bottom of it. Janines leaving in september so hopefully Michael gets caught out.

I stopped watching after the "Baby Swap" storyline. I'd JUST given birth so I couldn't deal with it.

Doodlekitty · 07/06/2012 20:05

And now poor Tamwar. Bloody pregnancy hormones, I'm in tears here

roundtable · 07/06/2012 20:06

I stopped watching it when all the baby swapping stuff started.

It's become like one of those grim misery ' true story' books.

YANBU I stopped watching it when the cervical cancer storyline started because I was waiting for the results of a colposcopy/loop diathermy. I do think that storyline may have reminded some people to go for a smear but it scared the hell out of me that along with all the doom and gloom..I can't believe I managed to stop, I was trying to stop after Danielle got hit by the car.

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 07/06/2012 20:07

Kat is now back, she will sort Michael....Michael's evilness is rivalling that of Archie - brilliant acting.

McHappyPants2012 · 07/06/2012 20:07

I have no links with bipolar, but have with MH with my mum

Stopped watching after danielle run over.

The cot-death/baby swap storyline disgusted me, as did the patronising attitude of the man who came on MN to respond to complaints.

McHappyPants2012 · 07/06/2012 20:16

If they wanted jean in a big story line they could of found out Sean was infact Amy's father and the DNA test was wrong.

Or waiting for Janine to have the baby and trying to help with PND.

Just an FYI for u pregnant ladies. Janines pregnancy doesn't end well.x

5inthebed · 07/06/2012 20:26

Sean is coming back, might be worth watching after all Wink

McHappyPants2012 · 07/06/2012 20:26

Why what happens

JamieandTheOlympicTorch · 07/06/2012 20:28

It's been grim and depressing for years. I can't bear to see people being so vile to each other

bleedingheart · 07/06/2012 20:28

I feel the Tamwar and Afia storyline was very rushed! No real discussion, she's off!
I really wanted Janine's pregnancy to work out.

nizlopi · 07/06/2012 20:29

I stopped watching a few months ago, I just couldn't be arsed with it anymore. I prefer Corrie. I have in the past really enjoyed EE, but I dislike it now.

nizlopi · 07/06/2012 20:30

Oh, and Sean isn't coming back. Robert Kazinsky lives in America now, he posts on twitter about it. He gets people asking that A LOT! :P

sparkybabe · 07/06/2012 20:31

I think Jean is a great actress. I couldn;t portray all those confused, desperate emotions.

And Micheal is evil.
