No they won't get rid of Alfie and Nana, they are good, strong characters. People have their own opinions on Jake and Danny, but I have never liked them particularly, they don't light up the screen. I won't miss them when they leave, which is no offence to the actors themselves, I just don't think they fit in with Eastenders.

I want to see more of Nana she is so funny, and Alfie who is being wasted at the moment. I am looking forward to seeing the Alfie and Little Mo storyline developing, and everything with Kat. It's going to be great!

There isn't an Oscar winner in the new Moons either. Neither can act :p

There isn't an Oscar winner in the entire cast, but I don't think you can say someone can't act when they've have been doing so quite successfully for a number of years.

I'd probably say there are but in a different situation :)

Both can't act (at least in EE) and I don't see them getting much after the axe falling on them...

Well who knows, but I've seen some people who really really can't act and I wouldn't put anyone in EE in the same category - including the Ferreiras, lol!!

No I don't think Danny and Jake are great actors.

I think all the good characters on EE have something that make them unique, and Danny and Jake don't have that, but Alfie and Nana do. Alfie has a great sense of humour, he's cute, sensitive and cuddly. He's also very loyal, hardworking but a bit of a Del Boy on the side. Nana is funny, she's kind, innocent and there's a brilliant actress who plays her, which makes her even more loveable.

There are some really great characters in EE, Sonia, Little Mo, Kat and Phil are just some of my favourites. They all have great personalities and strong characters. They present something incredible.

The actors can only do so much with what they are given though and I think that's a problem character-wise for Jake and Danny - it's starting to look like they were only brought in as a stop-gap until Phil's return and we already know that Danny was only meant to be a short term character before being killed off after about 6 weeks - probably explains why he's so all-over-the-place - the thought hasn't gone into the writing in the long term.

I love Alfie and Nana and I don't mean to put Shane down, 'cos I think he's fab but it's not exactly a stretch for him to play that role - he comes across brilliantly and I can't imagine anyone else playing Alfie, but where someone else might have to act, he's just being himself.

I don't think too highly on Jake (Danny) in the acting department but Joel (Jake) is good. 11 weeks is a very short time though. I would had have liked to see alot more from them. :)

Are you watching the same character? :eek:
Joel beckett has no acting ability at all. There's not one inch of emotion. Nothing....just very flat and lifeless.
