Eastenders at the moment

Who thinks its absolutely dire at the moment?

I've been watching Eastenders for more than 10 years (yes, sad I know!) and this is the worst time I can remember..well perhaps apart from the strange Asian family with a Portugese name, the Ferreras.

Characters keep talking about topical issues like global warming and the smoking ban, it makes me cringe, it's like an old Aunt trying to be trendy.

There are no decent story lines, strange characters that appear for one or two episodes and then disappear and the script is awful.

What can they do to make it better? I remember watching it in the past and really enjoying the acting, eg when Stacey had an abortion, when Dot helped Ethel to die, etc.

    i agree its got shit. For about the last 12 months all the stories seem to be about new characters, like these sudden people that turn out of knowhere.

    Like stacys brother and the whole of kevins family, i never know whats going on

    I quite like Eastenders at the moment! I love the Stacey and Max storyline and also the Ben and that witch story.

    Although just recently I hated the Dot and Jim & the random baby storyline. And that yorkshire grandad with glaucoma. Actually I just hate all storylines with old people in them :razz:
    Eugh and don't get me started on those 2 randy oldies with da jamaican accents man

    Bert used to be awsome when he first arrived, just a background character that would piss around all day with Jim

    I want to know what the climax for this stella and ben thing is going to be, surely phil will find out at some point and something major will happen... you know how he likes to over react. The script writers have made him a bit stupid lately, to fall for all stella's tricks...

    I've heard rumours about the ending to this, not sure when it's all meant to happen though...

    I could really hurt the woman too but parts are quite funny.

    I'm enjoying the Psycho Stella storyline, I think she is a great actress and Ben is playing his part pretty well too and I think the climax of this story will be good, whatever it may be! Most of the other storylines are piss poor though, in comparison to some of the other soaps which I think are quite cleverly written this one is at the bottom of my list.

    Haha, I think he could quite possibly be the worst child actor.. ever. I want to feel sorry for him, but I really can't help but laugh every time something happens - he's that awful.

    I'm not paying much attention to it at the moment - it's been pretty cack for ages.

    The Stella storyline is so cool. Well not that childhood abuse is cool but I think the woman who plays her is a really good actress.

    And Max well what can I say my brother calls him a 'legend'. He's a great character too...

    So my two favourite characters are Max and Stella

    Pat should have given her a proper pasting.....loved her face when she said "I think we better take this outside"
