Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 At least Linda Henry will get a chance to show her acting talent. That scene was hard to watch. I thought she'd already died... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Bryan Kirkwood has left EastEnders http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2012/bryan-kirkwood.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for letting me know. I will be skipping Digital Spy today! For quite a while, actually. It's funny - I was so wary of his joining Eastenders, and yet, thanks to all the endless hysteria whipped up about him, I ended up pitying him. I think his run on Eastenders was mixed, but never as bad as many claimed. Or even close. It will be interesting to see how many suddenly start loving the show since he's gone. Or if the disgusting trash Corrie has become will continue to be their ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I had a look on there earlier, and everbody is assuming he was sacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if he was, although I think, similar to Louise Berridge, he may have been happy to go at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well there was that article in the mirror, reporting a backstgae power struggle between him and John Yorke, last month. I would like to know who will replace Lorraine as the new permanent exec producer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I know some blame John Yorke for some of the show's larger failings over the recent years (like killing Kathy), but he's also done a lot for the show. I am surprised Kirkwood would even have any power, after the whole baby swap controversy. Who was that woman who came from Emmerdale...Beedles? I remember when she was speculated as taking over for Kirkwood. Edited March 12, 2012 by CarlD2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Kathleen beedles is the story producer. Edited March 12, 2012 by dannigold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Kirkwood's firing/leaving must have been abrupt, or else they would have had someone already lined up to take his place permanently. I wonder if Sharon's return story is already planned, or if it will be by Newman or the new permanent producer.

Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well Lorraine was John Yorke's series producer, when he brought Sharon back in 2001, so I hope she is planning it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I wonder why they won't just promote Lorraine permanently, since she's been there for over a decade already. EastEnders has always been a dumping ground for the BBC to test out producers and writers it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I do wonder how far planned Sharon's story is. Maybe that was the disagreement? Either way I think this may be for the best, a fresh era starting with Sharon's return. I just hope they get better producers to come in than those who came to Hollyoaks after Kirkwood left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am wary of promoting from within the show, the last time that happened we got Louise Berridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dannigold Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Several people with inside sources, are saying that Kathleen Beedles, is also out as story producer. There are rumors she has gone to Hollyoaks. Edited March 12, 2012 by dannigold 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
