I've heard it all now, especially with the Digital Spy Dumbass Thread of the Week, entitled "Liam and Whitney," some numbnutz reckoning a good storyline being a relationship developing between Whitney and Liam.
I fucking ask you.
OK, let Whitney, a victim of child abuse, become a child abuser. Because Whitney turns twenty in December, and Liam, even though James Forde is sixteen in real life, turns fourteen on Christmas Day.
Most people's birthdays seem to be falling by the wayside these days. The Masoods managed to remember Tamwar's birthday, but conveniently forgot Yasmin's second. Last year, no mention was made of Amy's birthday by either of her parents, and she turns four next month. December's birthdays include Lucy Beale (who'll turn nineteen) and Liam, who was born in the Vic, with Grant Mitchell in attendance on Christmas Day 1998.
Whitney is Liam's stepsister and has been raised to consider him a sibling. To even consider exploring a sexual relationship between the two is worse than perverted, it's fucking ignorant. But then, this is the calibre of people to whom EastEnders is currently pitching their ware. And the person who pitched this thread did so on the basis of the brief hug Liam gave Whitney on Monday. Jesus Christ, siblings can't even touch each other in greeting without someone wanting to bed them down. Also, anyone calling for a storyline involving the sexual initiation of a thirteen year-old is just plain stupid.
Whitney works best with her family, to be sure. Liam is presented as someone awkward and inarticulate, traits he inherited from his father. Shona McGarty's character is extremely unpopular at the moment, and James Forde isn't setting the world alight.
I would waste as little time as possible with either one, but I wouldn't go down the root suggested by the originator of that thread - Ohwhenthesaints.
For that, Brain of Britain, you get Dumbass of the Week award ...
