Members MichaelGL Posted April 30, 2023 Members Share Posted April 30, 2023 Yes this, especially the scenes regarding Zack/Ben in the pub this past week. But maybe that's just her persona? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 30, 2023 Members Share Posted April 30, 2023 It's not. They just don't have a great deal of interest in writing for the character, especially in Ben's life. Ben is just defined by Phil, and tedious melodrama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted April 30, 2023 Members Share Posted April 30, 2023 I also hate this Ben. I'd rather the character was just killed off, he doesn't resemble what Ben is supposed to be at all. The boxing stuff really highlighted that this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted April 30, 2023 Members Share Posted April 30, 2023 One of the biggest missteps of Kate Oates tenure at EE (but then again there's been many), is the turning Ben Mitchell into Walford's very own Aaron Dingle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted May 4, 2023 Members Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) At least they are keeping Kathy around instead of axing her like Peter, Stuart, Lola. AND at least Kathy gets a lot of screentime and a new engagement now (May 3rd) lol Am i the only one not feeling that Nish guy as BIG BAD Villain? Ravi on the other hand. Great addition. But I was upset that he had a go with Keanu and attacked him Please register in order to view this content Linda‘s grieving storyline kinda bored me tbh. When I’m in England on the June 3rd Weekend at the British Soap Awards 2023 I hope the Lola actress will be there. I mean she is nominated. It was hard to vote this year coz Daisy from Corrie is a definite winner but my Lola from EE is nominated. I hate to vote Lola Edited May 4, 2023 by AMCOLTLLover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted May 16, 2023 Members Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Damn EE is so good again! The Lola storyline Is really getting to me. I hate the new team for sacking my favorite after all these years but at least they handle it so well and respectfully. Shame she won’t win at the awards against Daisy from Corrie Please register in order to view this content i will never forget 2012-13 when they took little Lexie away from Lola and how hard she was fighting to get her daughter back! That’s why Lola will forever be one of my top 10 EE female Leading Women for life. I even got my parents and co-worker and friends to vote for Lola even though they don’t watch it lol I didn’t enjoyed Alfie for months but lately they reminded me why I loved him in the 00‘s. He was somewhat stupid there too but a bit more serious. Now they toned down his character and he was more serious with Linda. I actually start to like the idea of them somehow. The way Alfie is treating her in a mature way shows me that he ain’t that bad of an actor. The should really stop getting him the stupid storys. Ravi vs Jack! I hope Jack gets payback for Ravi‘s punching from behind. Such low life. The new co-owner is revealed and I loved the built up especially with the way Sharon/Linda-friendship was so deep lately. Such good soapy stuff. Reiss Plot-Twist really took me by surprise with his sick wife that he kept a secret from Sonia. I do enjoyed Martin and Rocky during this as supporting characters. Kim‘s story is interesting with her panicking. It shows her real acting skills again. Kim and Alfie can be too much but with the right stuff they are actually amazing characters for the show i even loved the Eurovision and Coronation Episodes. Only negative part of EE for me is Ben. Bruh is making everything about himself even Lola‘s upcoming death. He is so annoying. Stacey’s OnlyFans story is hilarious.. BBC taking a Pee.. Channel 4 axed Sarah Jane Dunn (Mandy) for being on OF and EE is letting one of their main characters doing OF on the show. Hahaha I voted for EE as best soap 2023. Oaks was boring, ED too and Corrie was way too loaded with 10 main storys. That’s too much to deal with.

Members MichaelGL Posted May 16, 2023 Members Share Posted May 16, 2023 I agree, the show is seemingly in a good position now, best it's been since pre-Jon Sen. My only gripe is that recast Elaine/Linda don't really feel like mother/daughter (yet) and Ben's constant misery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 17, 2023 Members Share Posted May 17, 2023 I imagine it's going to end up as a cautionary tale, but who knows. My problem with this story, as with pretty much all the show, is I don't believe it. The Slater home is full of people who work regular jobs and aren't splashing cash around. There are good ideas, but the execution and heart just aren't there for me. I feel completely disconnected from the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted May 19, 2023 Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 If this what it seems, then this reeks of desperation. When they start pulling plots and stunts from DAYS, might as well just pack it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 19, 2023 Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'll take it with a grain of salt, but we should've known this could happen when they brought Kathy back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 19, 2023 Members Share Posted May 19, 2023 You're kidding me. Why did I think she was dead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCOLTLLover Posted May 21, 2023 Members Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Am i the only one that was thinking that Cindy‘s „death“ always seemed off? She is the most believable and explainable back from the dead. But if I remember correctly Ian and Cindy hated each other in the end. I hope it will be Ian from early 2000‘s when he was more bullying people. Only time I felt him. But ever since who killed Lucy I hate him ugh I was so glad when Ian finally left the show and now I have to suffer through more of him. I always wanted the annoying Beale family to phase out. Only Beales I liked were Mark#2, Michelle, Arthur, Pauline, Pete, Kathy Lucy. Edited May 21, 2023 by AMCOLTLLover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
