Whilst EE did feature the Slaters heavily they had some FANTASTIC plots.

The Slaters did have some fantastic plots. I wont dispute that but I think they got really over used afterwards and the dominated the screens far too much which annoyed many viewers. I really was turning into the slater show.

As for the Jake and Danny, I don't think that they have had too much screen time. They arrived in late December and I suppose in all fairness we did see quite a bit of them but what we mostly had was Zoe lyeing about her 'phantom' baby, sleeping with Den, Chrissie finding out along with his dimeese and since then its mostly been Sam, Zoe and Chrissie. I don't think that they are out of the door for haveing too much screen time though -afterall its the tptb who decide when how much time they should or shouldn't be devoteing to the screen and if they think its too much, they would do the logical thing and cut back.

I heard that Kat learns the truth about what happened to Den meanwhile Zoe is cracking up so Kat makes arrangements for Zoe to go to Ibiza with Kelly but Sam has told the police about Den who are asking questions and have found the body, Chrissie is in the nick blaming it on Zoe and when the police see Zoe is cracking up they come to cart her away.

That's what I heard anyways.

Viewers adapted to the Mitchell bros, Dennis and Billy etc because we got to know them. It's these "ferrying packages" left right and centre storylines that I'm bored with and they keep the characters on a 2D level.

We only got to know these characters because they were on our screens for alot longer than three months and thier character evolved overtime. With Jake and Danny -we never got that. If billy left 6 months into his arrival most of us will remember him as the 'cold heartless bully who got of on beating young kids'. Now however we saw him fall for Little Mo and additionally comeing face to face with his attacker. Now alot of people's perception of him has changed. I don't however see him as a gangsterish at all. Dennis another example- if he had left three months after he came we wouldn't have learned why he put his defense and barriers up.

Danny and Jake could have been moved away from working with Johnny by the scrptwritters if they really did think they were to gansterish (not that I did)

Yeah we have had one maybe 2 but that's stretching it a bit.
The thing I find funny is Danny is supposed to be this kind of hardman but in reality he acts so camp!! :D

The show is centred around too many males.

but who hasn't? Chrissie, Zoe, Sam, have been in almost every episodes and they have had more focus than any of the other characters from the new year up until now. I ee want to limit the moon time -they know what they have to do. It's not rocket science.

Also usually when new characters arrive, ee tend to focus on them so the viewers get a feel for them. Johnny too has been in almost every episode since he came. I just dont feel they have been overused unlike some characters on the show. Zoe for example has been on almost every episode for the past year!
