If she wanted a reactiond from fans she's certainly got one, if she has done this to make us watch to see if they laeve what is she going to do AFTER they have gone? i for one am very disappointed in the new direction the show is going the show will have lost 12 characters by november, how is that going to improve ratings?
with them axing Danny and Jake they will have only one new character (stacey slater) in the soap as Little Mo, Kat, Peggy and Phil are old characters.
and how can they justify their non-violent, no gangtsers stand as Johnny Alllen is still there and Phil Mitchelle is coming back?
-
No violence with Phil Mitchell around don't make me laugh that's like having a pub that don't do alcohol
I HATE and i've never ever hated Eastenders i've despaired but never hated it but i do now I hate the way the show is going for crying out load it's the Eastend there are gangsters
i love the new Moons a mixture of comedy and charm and very easy on the eye Eastenders shame on you

Can people stop blaming Phil Mitchell please?
The apparent reason they've been axed is because they don't fit in with KH2's plans for the show. If anybody has read my post about what EE needs in EE general discussion will know what EE needs to change and this is what i'm thinking EE is trying to do. EE has a much smaller target audience and therefore lost viewers now they're trying to widen the target audience by getting rid of the Moon Bros so ratings can increase.
Don't always believe the story or reason a soap gives for leaving characters. There is always much more to the axing/event then is being said...

Well if they think it's going to help ratings I think they might be a little bit worng there people want to warm to new characters not get to like them then sorry changed our minds we don't like them anymore they don't fit into our plans sod us the viewers who actually watch it

Danny is so camp and can't act.
-
I can't be bothered going right through this thread yet (but will later) but just thought I'd let you know it's now on the EastEnders website in the news section so it's confirmed.
(This may have been posted in the thread sorry if it has).

I know just read it myself it's 100% official and i'm officailly in mourning now

I think it's unfair to say that Jake Maskall can't act - I think he portrays the character very well, according to how it has been written. Danny is an odd character as he's a blend of being almost childish in his reliance on his brother and his need for approval, but that it contradicted slightly by his self-confidence in other things and his temper - maybe not everyone will like the slightly unhinged nature of his character, but I think Jake plays it well. And I've seen him in other things and never thought he couldn't act.

I got the impression that Jake and Danny are quite popular characters -not only here but the wider public. When I watched ee revealed (based on the news moons) not long ago -it was revealed that they had alot of positive mail from viewers and from first impressions they are genuinely liked. Even though they have only been in for a short amout of time, they have not been given enough time to really show what they can do. Both characters have alot of potential and depth and they could be explored alot more given the chance. I don't think axeing is the answar really. EE need to go back to thier roots and give more empathsis on family centered storylines (like John York initially stated) not gangsters promotion and I don't see that with Danny and Jake. To me, they are family characters and share some history with Alfie. They have a bad boy streak. If ee did think they were too gangsterish, then they could have had them not work for Johnny and develope them in alternative ways - through the family and history.
As for Phil Mitchell - It's not a comparison but I feel he has had it's day and if it is truely the 'gangster' excuse then they wouldn't bother bringing him back and get rid of Johnny in the process.

I agree with both Torrie and Alisha Eastenders have made a big mistake and I for one don't know if I want to watch it anymore
