" I'd Slit My Writs If It Weren't For Shane Ritchie "

That is Peter Kay's review of this BBC1 drama.
And I must say, I agree!
Eastenders is gaining a reputation as a miserable soap, but finally the soap has found something it has clung on to and milked it for as much as possible.
Alfie Moon.

Easily, the most likeable character. With his charming smile and witty humour, Eastenders has found a smile in that Square full of misery.

And Shane Ritchie has proved what a fantastic actor he is!

As viewers of the soap know, Alfie is battling his feelings for "beautiful" barmaid Kat Slater. I have never seen such fantastic acting when he confessed, with tears streaming down his face that he did love Kat. His portrayal of a sensetive man in love was outstanding. And so is.

Although, I think Eastenders have milked this storyline long enough. Just put Kat and Alfie together and move on, is what I say.

But when Eastenders have something good, they are determined to stick to it as long as humanly possible.

First we have Dirty Den.
Panick move by the bbc. It is totally for the ratings that they bought back his character from the dead, which has left plot holes that the producers are praying people will not notice and focus on the fact that a legendary character is dead.

In fact, Eastenders has a lot of plot holes. I would like to point out a few...

When did Vicky Fowler's accent get it's own passport?

Has Billy ever spoken to someone who HASN'T told him to get lost?

What did the actor who plays Dennis Rickman do with the money for drama school?

Why did Sonia get home from India with highlights but no tan?

How did Lisa's smashed bottle of wine clear itself up so quickly?

Where the hell does Tariq live???


Instead of explaining these mysteries, Eastenders decides to dump ruck load
s osf misery on us to distract us.
Sheesh, just do us a favour, and stop treating your viewers like idiots!!
