My fave soap ever I've been loyal to EE through all the bad press but I won't agree with this the characters needed to be developed who's fault is it for the gangster stories in the first place why not have them settle into family life a bit find out a bit more about them

They shud have done this to the ferrieras when they first arrived but instead we had to put up with them for two years I could quite happily of put up with Jake and Danny for two years

Eastenders's fault not the actors so why not change the characters instead of giving them a chance

I agree - and if the programme is going in a "different direction", how can they justify either "an explosive exit" for the boys or Phil and Grant returning?! I think it's just the new EP throwing her weight around and wanting to make her mark.

Well how about making her mark with hardly any viewers

I really agree about the Mitchells. To me they have really gone past thier sell by date and it annoys me how sometimes you cant go through an episode without someone saying 'the mitchells' - mostly Sam though.

Back to the Moons -they needed development not axeing. It's honestly no suprise that ee will continue to lose figures if they continue axeing like this. It's their storylines that are not up to scrath, not the characters.

Why are soaps trying so badly to focus on these 'new improved' storylines there are dodgy dealers, gangsters,etc in reality aren't soaps meant to reflect reality?

I think she already has by this drastic decision. Only time will tell whether Kate as new ee exec will really benefit the show. However, as for now -not a great start in my book!

It makes you wonder if it's worth warming to any new character now in case they're just going to get the boot a few months down the line!

Exactly REAL LIFE and in real life people like Jake and Danny do actually exist they are not gangsters god I hate this whole axing business especailly when there is no good reason at all sod the lot of them if you ask me John Yorke Kate Harwood I might have to start watching Emmerdale instead

The only unfortuante thing is, she has just got herself a lot of guaranteed publicity - look at how she's got us all debated her decisions. And they do say there's no such thing as bad publicity. In her eyes, people are talking about the show, they'll keep watching to see how the Moons leave and they'll get over when they're gone. After all, there was uproar among Den fans over his death, but the show has gone on. :mad:

The moons are a popular family I don't know anyone who even likes the Mitchells but everyone loves the Moons Kate Harwood has axed two characters without even giiving them time for their feet to hit the ground and i'm disappointed bring back Louise Berridge all is forgiven
16-03-2005, 21:07

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?
16-03-2005, 21:13
Rach33

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

*JSW*

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.
16-03-2005, 21:39
Treacle

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).
16-03-2005, 21:41

I know just read it myself it's 100% official and i'm officailly in mourning now
16-03-2005, 21:42
Torrie

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.
16-03-2005, 21:43
Alisha

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

I think they should stay they have been one reason why I watch eastenders :mad: cos they are top totty too!! :D
I think we should have an eastenders strike to keep them in LOL :rolleyes:
16-03-2005, 21:46
Torrie

Without Jake and Danny, isn't it going to be quite hard to cover for Shane Ritchie's time off if he leaves on a break as has been suggested? What's Nana meant to do if Alfie is written out for even a short space of time - or will she be next on the hitlist? I'd have thought they'd be good to have around to build on the family element of the Moons.

EE DON'T GET RID OF JAKE AND DANNY
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Sorry needed to get that out, i think that they are getting rid of Jake and Danny because they are like the only sane ones left in Walford (apart from a few exceptions, Chrissie)And In walford things never run smoothly, so they had to get rid of them,which they shouldn't do because thats excalty what EE needs is Charecters like jake and Danny.I know they only bin in it since xmas time but i just won't be the same, no sarcastic,funny comments from Danny no sexy, funny flirting with chrissie, i adore the Brothers, .It says on the website that they will be free to return but that don't matter we want them in it Permenatly.That is why EE has gone down lately because they don't listen to what the fans/ viewers want they just do whatever the heck they want,
I love EE through and through but if they keep doing STUPID things like thios i might just NOT!!!
Luv ya all

LETS ALL STRIKE WHOPPEE hating John Yorke and Kate Harwood right now they've got alot of making up to do does anyone know how I can contact the BBC by e-mail i'd be grateful if they could let us know
16-03-2005, 22:08
Torrie

Wonder how many more characters we'll have to say goodbye to? Since Dennis was involved with Dalton and Andy, is he going to fall into this "gangster" role? Pat seems to once have been an employee of Johnny Allen - will she be packing her bags? How about Dot? She seems to have taken a shine to Johnny and no one seems to be safe from the axe! What a ridiculous excuse!
16-03-2005, 22:15
Rach33

Dot also has a good relationship with Dennis as well and then there's Billy oh and Chrissie cos her and Jake are getting togehter Sam was married to one why not just axe the whole cast

This isn't gangster related! People step back and look at the situation!!!

families are just becoming smaller

Moon-is there just gonna be nana left? In that HUGE house? :eek:
watts-gone :(
feraras-going (not that i care really) :D

Whats happening to this soap?
So I guess that they are bringing in jonnys family, I wonder if they are gonna be ''GANGSTER'' type people too.........

I have nothing against the gangster roles thats what makes Eastenders what it is today Ijust dont understand why the need to axe newcomers, at least give them a chance..........

we should be heard as we are the ppl who tune in 3 times a week to watch the programme if we dont get what we wanna see then we aint going to come bk. jmo

*drops to knees* NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO

I CAN'T FLAMING BELIEVE THIS!!!!! They're taking away my babies! The only 2 damn characters left with some kind of originality and fun. everyone else is just lame, overused, old and laaaame.

GREAT! Now i'm left with stupid hormonal whining killers and old biddies who do nothing but sit around and moan, and occassionaly move to a different building to moan.

WHY THEM?! WHY?! Why bring in flaming Johnny Allan and bring back dennis and phil mitchell etc. and make billy a lapdog for johnny alllan if theres 'too many gangsters' the dumbasses!

I reeeeally can't see much reason for me to watch eastenders after they leave. Because for me they brought a new zest, and new reason to watch the show, and now they're gunna go and leave us with the same old crappy families and whining, the same old Kat and Alfie blubbering with weird facial expressions and kiddy voices, the same old pauline being a miserable old bag, same old ian being an unlike don juan de marco with the crazy parenting skills, same old mitchells doing nothing but running around like selfish brats going 'i'm a mitchell, i'm a mitchell' cos they're too stupid to say or do anything else..... *sigh*
