Get rid of Tanya, Ian, Jane, that doofus who is going blind and his son and have Joe give Dot a good slap.

whats Eastenders?

LucyJones · 17/04/2007 12:43

I like the Tanya/Stacey storyline.
I would get rid of 'extras' who have no storylines like Garry, Minty, the lesbian, Gus, Charlie and Mo. I think a lot more needs to be made of Sean (Stacey's brother) - why does he keep disappearing on holiday? Is he doing a panto

Stop all the affairs they have.After they are found out the mistress and wife burry the hatchet and get along ( Pat and shop woman and Pat and Peggy).Life is not like that. Teenagers watch this and it makes out these things are ok.

Cover teenage topics like dyslexia and other SN in a postive way.

Let there be happy endings and belivable story lines. The bald ginger max would never pull that off in real life.

blimey, what interview is it? Head of soaps at BBC?

Bananaknickers · 17/04/2007 12:49

Drop a bomb on Albert Square, and axe it to be replaced with something decent.

Wotzsaname · 17/04/2007 12:51

Theres too many problemss at the moment, I can't think of one family that hasn't got a problem.

Where is Cat and her frivolous ways?

Yes it needs some happy bannter and frivololity thrown into the mix.

Sean should come back and mary Cat!

tell them to stop building opressive buildings on the site and spend the money on some decent writers/actors.

UnquietDad · 17/04/2007 12:53

Nobody likes my idea then?

It's getting pasted in the ratings. When Doctor Who was doing this badly in the late 80s, Michael Grade axed it. He who laughs last, eh?...

Where to start? I've watched it for years but recently given up on it as it is now totally rubbish.

  1. Max & Stacey is nonsense;
  2. Stella the nutter is a hopeless story line - not even vaguely gripping, probably because Ben is such an awful actor nobody cares about him;
  3. Is Carly's dad still in it, whatever his name is? He is a lump of wood;
  4. There are too many characters who are pointless - Gary, Minty, thingy at the shop and her husband, Charlie & Mo, that slobby bloke who doesn't work, aforementioned Carly's dad + Carly + Carly's brother + her mother if she's still in it;
  5. The storylines are never original - oh look, someone's having an affair! Someone's having a baby and they don't know who the dad is! Oh look Phil and Ian hate each other and Phil is going to beat up Ian. Rubbish!!

You need decent characters and proper actors and real scriptwriters - not too many problems with it then!!!

Didn't realise anyone still watched it.
