So, There's yet more misery and pain in Albert Squre this year and for someone, His or her life will be ruined. Will someone ever have a wonderful Christmas.

This is what they should have next Christmas

Every one have their meals at their homes, gather with families, watch TV play games and singalong in the Queen Victoria Public House (I love to be posh). Pauline says ' Let's watch Emmerdale and Doctor Who' at the Folwer house

If anyone does like misery at Christmas or at New Year this is what they might come up with.

They could all gather at the Queen Victoria Public House with thier drinks and pies and maybe the pub will have a big gas explosion along with other homes in the Square killing everyone marking an end of the Folwers, Beales, Mitchells, Brannings, Allens, Millers and Slaters with them all killed in the blast (maybe caused by Dot's ciggerette) and maybe 2007 will start with a memorial service for the residents. The homes will no longer exist since they were destroyed in the blast. That might an idea for a last ever episode.

Its kind of tradition now that they dont have a happy christmas day. Everyone expects to open their prezzies, stuff themselves with turkey and get depressed by ee and besides like bondboffin said sad stories make better drama, why change a perfectly good christmas day formula

Yes but it's never just happy. There's always something sad happening too. When Billy and Little Mo got married, they had Jamie dying along side it. When Kat and Alfie got married, they had Phil turning up on the square making an upset of a lot of people's christmases.

It can be happy but dramatic too, like when Kat and Alfie got married and there was the huge argument, we didn't know if they would get married or not (well, being Eastenders, of course they would :rolleyes: ). I think a Christmas Day episode has to be dramatic, because it's a special episode, but it could be happy or sad.

Only if you don't count Jamie dying.

Yeah, there's not exactly any point to a happy christmas in soapland. The viewers would have to be sad to sit round watching that, lol.

What about Christmas Eve or Boxing Day or other days in December?

I think they should have an even balance of sad and happy storylines over Christmas :)
