PollyAnna and Betty Boop

Nurse Ratchit's new alter ego ... she wishes:-



And *Betty*'s alter ego. (Kudos to Betty for stating the bleeding obvious about Bex's aggression.)



Message to Betty: The very point about Tanya being the soap's so-called "leading lady" and successor to Ronnie and Stacey is that EastEnders, like all soap operas, is an ensemble piece. There are no leading characters, thus the show's durability is sustained with characters leaving to be replaced by viable new ones. The very fact that the programme decompensates as soon as the Mitchell family becomes thin on the ground is one thing, but foisting "leading lady" figures onto the public and emphasizing their presumed importance by insinuating them into every conceivable storyline in some way is defeating the purpose of this genre, and just may be the reason the show is suffering so much now.

Just a thought.

Now go clean up the mess you made on the naughty step.

Boop-oop-a-doop.

Edifying Update: Ratchit ... I'd rather be Lucy Van Pelt than PollyAnna with a wooden spoon stirring toxic substances behind the scenes or a sweet-faced nurse with an evil personality. Keep stirring, however.

  1. I always thought it was 'Nurse Ratched'?

    Can't argue with the rest!
