Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 26, 2013 Members Share Posted September 26, 2013 Newman's era just seemed deathly boring with a series of really terrible new characters. I don't know what it will be remembered for in the long-run, or if it will be a completely forgotten era of the show. It's a shame she never worked out given her long history with the show. I didn't want her stuff consistently, I think she made an effort, she just didn't know how to properly execute some of her ideas. I did notice that Kat was more like her 2000-2005 self in the episodes I recently watched (and Jessie is back to her 2005 hairdo), and there seemed to be more of an effort made for diversity (even if not well realized). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted September 27, 2013 Members Share Posted September 27, 2013 Damn, EE. Now if they'd only get rid of the rest of Brannings, Alfie, and sadly the remaining Masoods. Zaniab was the heart of that family and when she departed, they should've too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted September 29, 2013 Members Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) A new teaser http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01hqnm3 This must be the work of the new exec because he re-tweeted the link. He has only been re-tweeting stuff, he has been involved with. Edited September 29, 2013 by dannigold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted September 29, 2013 Members Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) That's great news. They need to get new blood in the Queen Vic and far away from the Mitchell's. And hopefully Alfie or Kat will never be allowed to live there ever again. Edited September 29, 2013 by Bright Eyes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted September 29, 2013 Members Share Posted September 29, 2013 I hope it is a new family taking over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 1, 2013 Members Share Posted October 1, 2013 This could either be a good thing, or it could be another Eddie Royale situation. If this couple has no chemistry with each other, or with the wider community, the whole thing would be a gigantic flop. Other the other hand, if it works, it could be the kick on the arse the show needs. I don't mind Shirley, but she's always squarely a supporting character, I really don't see the point in tying her to the new owners. They seem to be casting loads of family around her, I don't think she works as a front and center type character, but will have to see to judge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 1, 2013 Members Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't hate Danny Dyer (some people seem to despise him) but I'm not sure about pinning the future of the show on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 David's return is pretty decent so far, he's seemed to fit back in almost seamlessly. I did like that little scene with Sharon and Carol in yesterday's episode, it was the most in-character I've seen Sharon from the stuff I've seen of her return too. I don't know if they're going to attempt David/Carol again. I don't know if I could ever see those two long-term given their history, and they're not really in the Pat/Frank vein. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Graham Posted October 2, 2013 Members Share Posted October 2, 2013 Danny Dyer is an interesting choice. He was pretty cute in the 90s. Anyone is better than Alfie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AdelaideCate007 Posted October 15, 2013 Members Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) One of my least favourite Eastenders characters. I'll never understand how she always had such hot love interests. Edited October 15, 2013 by AdelaideCate007 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2013 Members Share Posted October 15, 2013 I know a lot of people felt that way about her and Jamie. (I thought Martin was cute but not sure if other fans did). I don't see a point in Sonia returning long-term but I wouldn't mind a visit, especially to see more of her with Carol. Natalie Cassidy is one of those people who screwed themselves over by believing they were a "celebrity." She became way too known for her personal life and her personal feuds, and I think it hurt her career a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 15, 2013 Members Share Posted October 15, 2013 I hate her (both actress and character). A lot of my least favorite storylines during periods where I loved the show involved her. While her relationship with Carol is relatively unexplored, I think Sonia was burnt out by the time she left and there's nothing left to explore with her at this point. I guess the upside is that we have someone with the Fowler last name on the show again... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
