Even diehard Eastenders fan have got to admit that it's not on top form at the moment. Take a long hard look at the show, where is the potential? It's stale. It needs some new life brought into the show, writers who can write, actors who can act and characters/storylines that we actually care about.

Rather than making this the usual bitch about Eastenders thread, I thought we could just chip in suggestions about what could be done to improve it.

What characters would you keep no matter what, and what storylines would you give them?

Who would you axe now, why? How you would get rid of them?

What does the show need in terms of characters/storylines to return it to it's glory days?
