I even prefer the way Days treats its gay characters but maybe it's still the novelty. Perhaps I should stick to that.

and I'm fairly sure I'll stop watching in a few months.

There's no reason for Ben to go but he's going. Billy offers nothing. I like Honey though.

I hope Robbie Jackson goes. I'd also like them to kill off Billy Mitchell and send Louise on a holiday and return re-cast.

Why should he be fired instead of the writers though? They should get in writers who are interested in writing gay characters and writing for Ben. He's a brilliant character. At this point I honestly wouldn't be surprised by anyone who gets axed. I could see Phil or Ian going. Getting rid of Phil wouldn't be a bad idea.

It's the crap writers who need retiring rather than Ben. Get in some writers who care about the characters that the viewers care about. The show is practically done.

Well EE and Neighbours are better than Days, but I think I'm enjoying the novelty of Days at the moment. Having said that, I'm probably going to give up EE soon seeing as it wants to get rid of all its good characters. John Yorke clearly doesn't understand EastEnders, don't care about his sh*tty golden eras in the past, I care about the current characters, well the good ones that the EE team seem so keen to get rid of. Derek will be the next to go for sure. Lets wipe any homosexual aspect of the show shall we. **seholes.

I think I'm ditching EE and Neighbours for Days

Janine was ruined by Kirkwood IMO. Setting her up with that awful Michael Moon is what made me stop watching for years, they'd ruined my favourite character. Then making her kill Michael (that is what happened, right?). I do agree there needs to be more people axed on Coronation St, but the right ones. Coronation St wouldn't axe its best characters over the most mediocre ones. What are Kim, Vincent, Robbie, Sonia, Carmel, Kush etc still doing there? Is it because they're bland and boring so easier to write for?

Thanks @DRW50. I would like to see Janine again but I don't think she should be brought back, there's no reason for her to return to the Square. I don't think Charlie Brooks would agree to it anyway. Not sure how Whitney and the Carters as well as Kim, Sonia and Robbie have outlived Max is a joke now though. The EP's on EE always seem really arrogant with their decisions. They seem to take pleasure out of axing big characters. This kind of thing wouldn't happen at Coronation St as far as I can tell.

The Sun is reporting This show is an absolute JOKE. It's literally like they want viewers to stop watching. Fuming. I really want to carry on watching but I just don't think I can, I really don't.

So angry they killed Steven. Not sure if I'll carry on watching.

I'm sorry to hear that TimWill. The way they've ruined Steven is making me consider dropping the show altogether.

Vile creature.

It sounds like the EE writers have been watching 2006 Home and Away episodes. Not sure if I've ever heard anything so dire in story terms on EE.

So Neighbours showed a scene of a woman sitting on a bench in a sunny park, a man comes up to her and asks if she's ok and she says yeah she's fine, she's just thinking about old times. She's wearing a white dress and her hair is styled like Dee's. Could it be the real DEEAL?

Annoyed about Steven leaving, waste, yet again.

There was a thread started on DS that John Yorke was going to bring back 'Lucy Benjamin and Kim Medcalf', the first one has turned out true, do you think it's true that Kim Medcalf could be returning? Isn't he the producer who introduced her?

We've had proms in the UK at ages 16 and 18 for the last 20 years at least. Looking forward to seeing Lisa.

DS has confirmed it's not Keanu.

Didn't mind Joey/Lauren and Sharon/Dennis. I honestly don't see EE running an incest story between siblings (that know they're related). The cliffhanger was misleading on Friday but I don't see it happening. Media beat up as per usual.

It hasn't even been confirmed as an incest storyline yet has it?

It's such an overreaction. Poor Matt.

I like the Derek story even if it is illogical at many points. I don't really think Johnny did anything wrong though.

Really nice seeing Sonia back. Robbie is awful though.
