Lorraine's latest PR stunt in her quest to show the programme as warm, fuzzy and friendly, was to engage the show's two resident hunks sex symbols unintelligible planks of wood who were hired for their looks and not their talents in posing as The Easter Bunny and an Easter Chick with a warm, fuzzy and friendly Easter message for what viewers remain. This was then tweeted to the world, with this picture:-
Judging from this picture, it seems the show is now trying to appeal to the 6 to 14 year-old age range. At least Lorraine has correctly sussed that the only people shipping this programme as positive have that intellectual maturity level.
Can you imagine the likes of Nick Berry and John Altman or Michael French and Martin Kemp or - goodness forbid! Steve McFadden and Ross Kemp in their prime cutting a stunt for the PR department like this? Can you even imagine Nigel Harman doing this?
All of the above would have responded to the request with a polite "Thanks but no thanks" in reply.
But this is the new EastEnders. These are the male ingenus the show is trying to promote as the next generation of the show. In reality, these are two underwear models, one of whom worked as a fish porter, who struck a bit of luck.
Well, it's time for their luck to run out, along with Lorraine's ... before the show's luck runs out overall.

I put the setting in the rot also at about the time the Slutters arrived. From then on, the nice neighbourhoodly feel was gone. The little chats at the dairy, or just as people met in the market. Now, they only chat to their own family, and usually inside their own house.
ReplyDeleteAs for the young children, I saw Kamil they other night, it was during Zainabs leaving. He wasn't cutsy, he spoke clearly, didn't look fazed by the camera or play up to it. He was sooo much better than the current crop, with the exception of Amy. Even though she doesn't speak, she obviously has a bond with Rita and does ok. There is no mistaking which family Oscar belongs too. He does look the result of his families shenanigans. Speaking of which, I have just seen the episode with the desperate attempt to recreate an iconic EE moment. The one where Jack "smacks" Phil and he falls down the pit. Max, Tanya, Abi, Lauren and Dot were all at the pub, who was looking after wee Oscar? Why was Biannca rushing off to where Tiffany was staying, not to bring her daughter home, but to take her some medicine? If my child stayed at a friends place, and the parents rang me, saying they were concerned about my childs health, I would be taking the child home, not making someone else look after her. Also, I notice both Bianca and Tanya (& even Kat when they had other little girl that got ignored a lot of the time, who's name I cant remember) often send their kids to their friends for the night, but never reciprocate the favour.
