I like to see it's getting some support from Aunty Beeb:

EastEnders also comes under attack: “Questions have also been asked about its quality, relevance and competitive strength,” said the governors."

Director-general Mark Thompson insisted: "It is one of our best-loved shows and at its best is one of the most exciting and creative programmes we do."

But he admitted: "There were some issues, which we are now grappling with.

"The audience has never been weak, but I hope that over the year they will come back. We've been looking very hard at EastEnders because it is a very, very important programme for BBC 1."

There's nothing wrong with EastEnders! I cant understand why it's lost lots of viewers... Coronation street and Emmerdale are worse than EastEnders at the moment! :thumbsdow

It's only really lost a million or so viewers.

I notice it's getting around 9 million at the moment which is what Corrie is getting. The Summer is always bad for soaps.

I think I know why but I can't belive EE is just letting Corrie win how ever hard it tries!!

It's not the shows fault. I personally think it's getting back on form.

Eastenders has had it's low points over the last year but it's great to see the show is on the up. :D

I must be one of the million - I don't watch it anymore. Actually, I think most of the soaps are a bit of form at the moment.

I don't think I could ever give up watching EastEnders Trinity but if I was to go on holiday at the moment I wouldn't get my mam to tape it for me like she normally would not unless something significant was happening. If it was just the usual Mofie/Shannis I wouldn't bother about the missing a fortnight or however long it would be.

to be honest lately i have found coronation rather boring and i am barley tuning in2 emmerdale anymore. eastenders is the only soap i have never stopped watching.

Johnny Allen

Eastenders was certainly at a low point at one stage but since Den's death and the arrival of Johnny Allen it's got much better, last weeks episode were the best I had seen, its certainly improving while Corrie seems to be rapidly deterioating

the problem with the stories in all of the soaps really is that they drag stories out for too long. Shannis, Molfie, Shell and Charlie, Den, Scott and Zoe... They've all gone on for months.

Personally i prefer it when they get a story over within the month!

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:03
Peggy is, a month or so i think and is closely followed by Phil and Grant.

Didn't Lisa go to see Mel or something and never returned? To be honest i dont remember, i was never a Lisa fan

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:08
I guess so
Doesn't peggy stil think that Phil owns the pub? If thats right then she is going to be angry (understatement or what?) about that.

Treacle
14-07-2005, 20:08
Who Shot Phil? Probably won't flare up again.

Who Shot Phil? Probably won't flare up again.

Your right, it probably wont; but its an example of them dragging a story on for ages and then never finshing it properly. That is hte main thing which annoys me with EE because i think they do it the worse, although it is done in the others.

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:12
true

Treacle
14-07-2005, 20:12
Peggy will wipe the floor with her!

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:13
yep

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:13
EE do get really good stories like that, just not many of them, whereas i prefer lots of short but good stories. I guess its just personal preferance though

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:14
me too prefer short to long

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:15
Yeah they are more interesting

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:15
and better to understand

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:17
Yeah, cause i'm really confused with the Shannis story.

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:20
2 people are in love but from the same family
they see nothing is wrong because they are not actually family
and there are alot of problems aswell between them

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:22
Its the problems that i am confused with

Its the blondeness i'm sure!

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:22
do you mean you or sharon

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:23
lol

what i mean is that i dont get the problems between Dennis and Sharon, but that might be because i'm having a blonde moment and am just being thick!

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:24
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:24
ehy im blond
well fair

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:26
lol i'm not even blonde, but i tend to have moments!

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:28
lol

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:32
Its my mums fault... she actually is blonde, so its resessive i think!

true.moon
14-07-2005, 20:34
lol
your dad??

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:37
He had brown hair, hence my brown hair too

but the blonde is definetly there somewhere!

Can you explain to me why Shannis were argueing earlier, cause i'm really confused!

Treacle
14-07-2005, 20:45
I have the attention span of a gold fish so long storylines are a no, no for me.

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:48
Same here WQ

Treacle
14-07-2005, 20:49
It's awful though. I wish I could stick with long storylines a lot better.

Abi
14-07-2005, 20:59
but when they go on for months and months it becomes a bit impossible though

true.moon
15-07-2005, 07:44
yeah and bornig

Abi
15-07-2005, 09:09
I guess teh producers think that that is what is going to keep the viewers tuning in, but it tunes me out 100% after months of it!
