Why are EE axing all the best characters, even the OK ones and not the rubbish ones? Sorry I cannot understand this!! I am getting really frustrated now! :mad: Im going to let it all out now.....

Jake - He is soooo good looking and he is a great actor why won't they just keep him for 3 years or even forever, I wouldnt mind :love:
Danny - He can't act much but I guess they come as a pair.
Derek - Yes hes going!!! :thumbsup: I am so happy this is a good choice he jsut sits there disagreeing and agreeing with Pauline!

I know there are some other characters are leaving and I know that I like some of them but I am so dissapointed. If they are going to axe all our favourite charcters what are they going to do? :mad: :mad: :mad: If they are going to get rid of everyone there wont even be an EE!!!!! Unless.. This is the way they are going to close EE down...... NOOOOO please someone calm me down or just agree with me to make me calmer because I dont see why EE is trying to make EE rubbish!!!! :eek:

Because somebody is good looking is no reason to keep someone in a soap and he can't act!


Danny - He can't act much but I guess they coem as a pair.
That is definatley no reason to give someone a contract!

And I doubt EE is trying to make itself rubbish!

Also try to sort your spelling out its all over the place!

I had a feeling you were going to say something like that JSW... I am not a big Moon brother fan either but they seem to be popular and a reason EE is getting rating but if that all EE is looking for then they could have any bizzare storyline as long as the actors were good looking... I am sensing an American soap coming on... :rotfl:

I saw some of the omnibus on Sunday afternoon and its the first time I have watched EE in about 6 months and Jake and Danny Moon are awful!!! No wonder they are axeing them, they are terrible!! Im not so sure on Johhny Allen either, thank god Phil agreed to come back!

I think that both Joel Beckett and Jake Maskell have not been given a chance to show the depth of their characters or to show the range of their acting abilties, which is definaltey a shame.

I think Jake Maskell does Danny brilliantly, he portrays the character really well and I love his one liners they're great.
"if you type in 4377 it spells hell backwards"

Keep them in Walford we need interesting, lovable characters NOT the Mitchells

*JSW*
21-03-2005, 16:47
I'm sorry but if you see good acting ability in Jake Maskall you must be on something strong!

Considering they've featured in 40+ episodes, thats enough time for them to show off some acting ability and enough time for me to gather a sensible understanding of their acting ability ;)

Siobhan
21-03-2005, 16:47

I think the more colourful charaters make EE watchable... Jake and Danny are lovable but not interesting... Phil has so much more going for him and did since day one..

Angeldelight
21-03-2005, 16:55
Why do you say that Jake Maskell can't act? HE portrays Danny REALLY well

How can Phil be interesting, can you really think of any MORE DIFFERENT storylines he can feature in now?

If the characters are not interesting how can the viewers WARM to them and LIKE OR CARE about the storylines they're invovled in?

*JSW*
21-03-2005, 16:59
Jake Maskall has got to be one of the worsest actors on EE for years, it so tells that he was cast at the last minute.

I never said I liked Phil! He can stay away. I for one doo not want to see a 1998 version of EE in 2005. Very boring!!!

Angeldelight

how can't he act?

when do you think he couldn't act? what situation?

*JSW*
21-03-2005, 17:05

Every episode. There's no acting ability there and even the Jake and Danny lovers realise that on here!

Angeldelight
21-03-2005, 18:12
I still think he's a great actor and should stay as he and jake give the moon family a little more depth and interest as a family

and he can act

.:SpIcYsPy:.
21-03-2005, 18:24
Angeldelight (Yumm!) I so agree with you beracuase you agree with me!! Jake does need to be givin a chance beacause he has got a great skills! I also want to save Jake and Danny!! Jake even more!!

.:SpIcYsPy:.
21-03-2005, 18:26
JSW I do acutally think you are seeing different things and as for my spelling I my finger just slips a few times. So sorry I will edit it out for you. Other thing is why cannot you see that Jake has alot of potential! He has got skill. He is great not to mention his looks. Its his acting mroe which I like! You seem to disagree with most the posts posted on this site!

i dont think jake and danny should go either. im not saying that theyre the best actors on ee cos theyre not but they do have potential. also danny is well funny, he lightens up ee a bit imo

i think eastenders do too much sacking and thats why the ratings are down

Frankie
22-03-2005, 12:06
I think that Jake and Danny can both act and you can't have everyone in the square all doing some thing extremely interesting at once other wise it is not realistic and that is why EE is so great.

22-03-2005, 17:20
Jake and danny arn't brilliant but their no worse than a lot of the others,we all have our favourites ,i don't think it's jake and dannys fault,the whole cast have had totally diabolical scripts since christmas,i think somebody at EE is really a corrie or emmerdale fan and has set out to bore us all to death.

Alisha
22-03-2005, 17:49
I don't think too highly of Jake's acting (Danny Moon) but I do think Joel (Jake) can act! He is not my favourate and dont see him as one of the best actors on the show either but I do see potential and had he stayed longer we could have seen that shine through alot more. He has only been there three months and just by first impressions, I am likeing what I see (not physically -even though he is an attractive male, I don't fancy him)

Not everyone will share my view but I know that many do. He should have stayed.

*xeni*

Jake and Danny could be back on our screens in a few months or even a year or so as they're not being killed off; so stop worrying!! :nono:

22-03-2005, 18:56
have you ever seen a character that has been axed reappear on our screens?

i can't say i have EVER

That's true why would they have bothered bringing them back if they were axed :rotfl:

tbh, I don't see why Spicy started this topic if you don't want to see axeings why are you presuming they're going to happen and then put a real downer on your post?

I like things as they are now all the dead wood has been discarded, time for some new characters I say!

hi, i read inside soap today, and compared to the other two big soap's the ee cast list is tiny!! they had to double space the whole thing, so i would expect to see lots of new faces over the coming months.........................unless this is all part of the bbc job cuts programme (ha ha he he)

Indeed it was something I noticed recently as well. It must be half the size! If no new characters come we'll be in danger of having repetitive characters and repetitive storylines which we all know doesn't work!

thats my point about the moon's all they seem to be doing at the moment is axeing, i know we have kat, dennis, phil, and peggy coming back but that is not for weeks, juley goes next week too and gus is on his way out

22-03-2005, 20:39
Becasue there is too many ' gangsters ' they may bring more Dereks and Paulines in as soon as Derek leaves. I miss you Jake. I do actually have a point posting this JSW to get a point across sayign they should stop axeing the public's favourite characters.

Mabye I didn't explain myself properly. Your entire post had a sad/mad feel. Why ask questions if they make you sad?

Anyway, what characters do you want to see leave? And you miss Jake? He hasn't even left yet!

22-03-2005, 20:56
SpIcYsPy,

I see nothing wrong with your post and can see the point you are trying to make in general :) There is already a pinned post on the same thing on the forum though.

22-03-2005, 20:59
Please i didn't say there was anything wrong with the post!

I don't understand why it upset you so much?

.:SpIcYsPy:.
22-03-2005, 21:17
Mainly it upsets me beacause the script-writers just axe people off. I just needed to let it all out and ask questions to see what other people thought, that's all. Yes he hasn't left :cheer: I will make the most of while hes on EE!

*JSW*
22-03-2005, 21:19
Its ok, you don't need to justify your actions to me :)

I don't understand why you were asking a question if it made you so mad/ sad? And it was a good question...

Get rid of Keith Miller he's such and inconsiderate git he does nothing because he can't be bothered if he left i'd really warm to the family

i know what you mean, ian and jane are just soooo boring! and i know keith cant read or write or anything but there are still jobs that he could do that dont require him to be able to read and write, and if he had looked for a job ages before now instead of sitting on his backside all day, then he may have been able to get one! and i agree, i like the rest of the family, though im not really sure about darren but he might grow on me given time

No way......They should NOT get rid of Ian, he has been on E.E. since the begining; even if he doesn't have a great storyline at the moment so what? He's a local and that makes the story real, so what if Keith is an inconciderate git, how many of that type are around;it's real life! What do you want, lies and unreal families? Get real and support the locals.
P.S. thank god they god rid of the Ferreras, that was the worst departure in soap history! :eek:

I didn't know Derek was going, that's no surprise he never gets any storylines. I agree about Jake and Danny, I think they're the best thing to hit EE in recent times. They are not background characters like Derek, Juley, Gus etc. They serve a purpose being there and it's nothing to do with their looks either. I don't think either of them are really gorgeous, I just think they're great characters. They will be a sad loss, if they're gonna do this stupid thing, get rid of Johnny Allen too.

How can you want IAN to stay, he's had no GOOD INTERESTING storylines for years i mean how boring was him and Jane getting together????? he gets it together with EVERYONE who works for him we KNEW that was going to happen!! and all this bullying stuff WHO CARES?????
and Keith is just soooooo boring he does nothing ABSOLUTLEY nothing!!! the only storyline he was involved with was the football team and you ain't seen them for months, i wonder why? cus it was a crap storyline!!!!!!!!!!!

if EE want people to watch the show then you have to have warmed to the characters and care about the storylines they given to watch, if you can't then how will thet get the viewers??

DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND GET RID OF IAN AND KEITH THEY'RE BORING AND NOT INVOLVED IN ANYTHING INTERESTING

yeah, sorry Rach On all other occasions i would agree with you, but on this one i'm with 'Angel Delight' coz Kieth does my head in with all this "it'll be alright, love" and "i don't know how you do it rosie love, but you all ways make ends meet". Well Keith, if you got off your fat behind she wouldn't have to make ends meet, would she?! God, if he really loved his family he would get out there and get a job! All he has to do is make an effort!

I liked the idea of Jane and Ian together at first, it started off exciting. By the time they did get together, I was bored by it and it didn't have the same impact at all. This story is a bit different though cos of Jane's husband.
It's a shame about Keith, I mean the story with them being penniless has been tragic but very boring at times. They were all such a force to be reckoned with, now look at them. Eastenders really do have to look at the reasons why it is losing viewers and constantly losing out to Emmerdale. At one time that would never have happened. I can't stand Emmerdale so I can't understand it really.

Jade
28-03-2005, 21:51
And Ian had the storyline about weather on not he would find out he was Bobbys father. I mean how much can a bloke go through in one lifetime. I think he may have some storylines comming up with Lucy turning into a nightmare, or is that now over and done with?

Do you think the Millers are supposed to be some sort of Dingle type family?

They were introduced as the new Slaters. The story with Bobby got boring as well. I don't really like Lucy when she tries to be like Stacey. It doesn't quite work.

Maybe Ian, Jane and the kids should move away and live happily ever after in the next borough of London (as you dont ever see anyone who lives outside the square) I mean how much trauma can a bloke go through in one lifetime

The way it's going at the moment they might as well as axe the lot,and start showing EE from the beginning again,cos all their doing is constantly repeating their storylines with different actors.

Yes the lady at the beginning when he went to the job centre said something about animal care centres, you dont need to be literate for that, or what about rubbish cleaner like Gus, they will get along talking and you don't have to be that literate for picking rubbish and making the streets of Walford clean. There are many jobs I think EE are not realsiing that well enough. Keith really needs to stop watching all those documentries!! :nono:

I have to agree with getting rid of Keith until he sorts out his looks and behaves like a proper man instead of a silly slob. Rosie well I dont see why she never sees his mistakes its ' My Kieth is better blah blah blah ' and yes Kitz the it will be alrite annoys me so much Rosie is working her bum of hard and here he is eating all the foods on the menu not even trying to put it int Aleeshas pram to give to Rosie or anything!

I didn't come on here to fight. So in answer to your question i guess it is a bit steriotypical but what else can i base it on? :searchme: :hmm:

I have NEVER met a slob LET ALONE a slob that educates him/herself through watching television documentaries. I've never met a PROPER slob before (but i know they exsist) so you're right. I'm basing my views on steriotyping. Sorry, but i don't like the character and if slobs are really like that, my dad is going to have to eat his words........(sorry i don't mean to talk about slobs like their trolls or monsters or anything! sorry for any offence caused:D )

Axeing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why are EE axing all the best characters, even the OK ones and not the rubbish ones? Sorry I cannot understand this!! I am getting really frustrated now! Im going to let it all out now.....

Jake - He is soooo good looking and he is a great actor why won't they just keep him for 3 years or even forever, I wouldnt mind
Danny - He can't act much but I guess they come as a pair.
Derek - Yes hes going!!! I am so happy this is a good choice he jsut sits there disagreeing and agreeing with Pauline!

I know there are some other characters are leaving and I know that I like some of them but I am so dissapointed. If they are going to axe all our favourite charcters what are they going to do? If they are going to get rid of everyone there wont even be an EE!!!!! Unless.. This is the way they are going to close EE down...... NOOOOO please someone calm me down or just agree with me to make me calmer because I dont see why EE is trying to make EE rubbish!!!!

they are not any fit charcters left

p.s i mean while dennis not in it
