Something to Make EastEnders THINK ...


Third place AGAIN.

Whose fault is that?

Dominic Treadwell-Collins, undoubtedly, is taking note, but bringing in stunt castings, characters past their arc who weren't popular when they left the last time, sensationalist storylines, retconning and leaving iconic characters to fester abhorrently, isn't the way to increase viewing figures.

Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator - the people who populate the swampfill called Digital Spy, like the appallingly dense xTonix and klendathu, who all but demand child abuse as the deterrent to a troubled child's inappropriate behaviour - and give the deserting long-term viewer the identifiable brand that EastEnders is for them: that would be something akin to the period chaired by Matt Robinson or John Yorke, nothing later.

EastEnders has lost its brand, its identity, and that identiy isn't Danny Dire (however much charity work he does does not belie the fact that he went on record advising some bloke to cut his girlfriend's face to ribbons after she dumped him) and it isn't some bald funny-ha-ha comedian trying to take the place of Ricky Butcher.

And please stop making psychopaths the focal point of the show as heroes, however pretty they might be.

Shit ... at least Emmerdale knew what to do with their psycho, Cameron.

Learn.

You're drinking in the last chance saloon, which is probably identifiable as the Queen Vic.

And ditch the YOOF element, starting with Cindy the Greek, Dexter, Whitless the Walford Mattress and Lauren the Gurning Go-To Girl. 

Find your balls and use them.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed it means you will have to take a long break from the net so you can look back and see that because you are, at the age of 60, bully of teenagers this has happened to you for a reason
