Yes., the Brannings annoy me, and I apologise if my language offends; but I'm chewing nails and pissing rust at the thought of my licence fee money going to tripe which EastEnders has become, presided over by an Executive Producer who seems to suffer from headuparsitis, herself.
Wasn't there an advert awhile ago telling us we "are" the BBC? The stealth tax which funds Lorraine Newman's fantasies says we are.
Anyhoo, leaving EastEnders, either of your own volition or by sacking, seems to free actors up to talk.
The dire Matt Lapinskas is singing like a caged bird now in an article on Digital Spy. If you can get passed the initial fit of giggling at the fact that Matt was shocked to be axed from the show, he does make one valid observation, concerning his release:-
Secondly, Lapinskas is having a Jack Ryder moment here, but after having left the programme. His Branning-centric remark proves that it isn't only the viewers who have noticed the ridiculous predominance of this dystopic and dysfunctional bunch of inbreds, which only harm the show. The fact that Lapinskas was axed in order to accommodate the simian branch of the family speaks volumes.
Oh well, at least the Branning prove the theory of evolution, even if they haven't progressed that far up the chain of life.

The 23-year-old said that Anthony's exit could have been linked to the decision to bring in Joey Branning, played by David Witts.
He commented: "Maybe they wanted to swap one young guy for another young guy. The show is very Branning-orientated at the moment. Almost every scene's got a Branning in it."First of all, Lapinskas's remark about shedding him in order to retain the talent that isn't David Witts is astute and probably true. But surely, TPTB can't be that pigshit ignorant not to realise that they released one utter embarrassment only to obtain a second and worse one? Matt Lapinskas was bad - possibly he was in at the deep end before he could swim adequately; but at least you could understand what he said. Instead we get Witts, the walking Neanderthal, who - if he doesn't have a speech impediment - needs to learn not to walk around with his mouth agape. Seriously, he is arguably the worst actor ever to appear on the show. He makes Liam Bergin look proficient.

I mentioned this o DS actually- and it just shows how the Brannings are seeping into every nook and cranny of EastEnders. Now, i never rated Anthony Moon or Matt Lapinskas but please bring him back if only to get rid of Joey 'Fawwahajdhjsdg' Branning.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love this one. As someone on Walford Web remarked, "Imagine Joey Branning reading the evening news."
DeleteThe mind truly boggles. I love the way he calls his sister "Aaaa-aaasss."
I suppose the only reason the BBC haven't asked him to drop the accent is to avoid another Vicki Fowler incident. But please get this man some diction lessons. I had to applaud Kat (in spite of her hypocrisy) when she laid into him because these days, any scene where Joey comes out worse satisfies me.
