If it was me writing Eastenders I would have a fresh start and get back to something that is real. Yes there is heartbreak etc around Christmas for us all but that dosnt mean it has to be wheeled out for a ratings war. People who have lost a loved one will not get any real comfort from seeing this on a telly show as most proberly wouldnt mind a half hours distraction from what they are going through and feeling. Maybe its time the writers and producers had a shocking change and made it bright and cheerful for a change with a comic element.

This may go against the grain but a change is as good as a rest. If they want to compete with Corrie then think like the Corrie writers do and through a bit of lightheartedness and cheer in. You cant keep reallying on doom and gloom to keep high ratings as there are that many doom and gloom merchents out there or is there?

In answer to Mani's thread title 'How depressing is Eastenders?' It will be so very very depressing if they kill the only decent eye candy off! Nigel Harman

Everybody I know finds Eastenders depressing. Loads of people have stopped watching it. Why then is it awarded best soap over Corrie and Emmerdale?

SPUGGIE J · 14-12-2005, 17:34

The people who run the contest must be afraid of "Auntie" either that or its not impartial.

Now that wasn't depressing tonight, that was really sad, poor Alfie! R.I.P Nana Moon ............. someone please pass me a tissue quick!!!

ANNE · 16-12-2005, 22:54

Eastenders was so sad tonight.
Poor Nanna.
Things wont be the same now she's gone.
The acting by Shane was brilliant.
At least Mick was out so I could have a good cry in peace.

mani · 16-12-2005, 22:56

*LOL*

see ths is why i dont watch it. i mean they were meant to kill her off las crimbo. but changed last minute.
i'm waitin for dot to pop her clogs. followed by any of the slaters. the dad is just as depressing. and how come u never see him work and yet he's always drinking in the vic?

shakermaker · 16-12-2005, 22:57

i watched Eastenders tonight for the first time in 3/4 years.
it was the same episode as the last one i watched!! just a few name changes here and there but the storyline is always the same, some old ****** pegging it at christmas.
i thought the bbc were stopping showing repeats?!
hmm....

PILKYBUSDRIVER · 16-12-2005, 23:03

I quite enjoy Eastenders it's a damn sight less miserable than you lot,moan,moan,moan.Corrie is dreadful at the moment and Emmerdale...no comment.The only things worth watching on tv lately are Eastenders,Lost and Liverpool FC of course
