The relationship was boring I'm afraid mainly due to the then Executive Producer Louise Berridge thinking everybody loved them. I hated it. I wouldn't have minded had it been over and done with soon, I love them now. They work so much better as a couple without all the Shannis nonsense. Sharon is a strong women again and they're a normal happy couple. Much better than the pair of them moping round the Square.
Fair enough, you're not the only one :)Quote:

This was where they performed personality transplants (particularly on Sharon) so it could match the plot. We had Dennis on yo-yo between them for 8 months. The original excellence was driven from the family’s opposition but this was pushed to the sidelines. The family was no longer an overriding factor in their relationship but instead a 21 year girl which gave no credibility to the storyline what’s so ever. I'm so pleased that’s gone and dusted. However I do think it was a wasted opportunity last year. Now things are certainly better. Just goes to show what some effective characterisation can do eh?
I liked it when Den opposed the relationship but with him out of the way it was like they brought in Zoe to manipulate the situation further and stop them being together. Why? I don't know. Yes the entertaining aspect was the fact it was forbidden love but because of Den and not because of Zoe. It dragged on for far too long and almost got the programme axed (well by the quality of it, it must have came close). They are much better as they are now although they've returned to the Square definately to let Den know they are an item, why they couldn't have just got together in the first place and defied him is beyond me.
You're spot on. This is exactly what I thought and this is what I meant when I said 'wasted opportunity'. It would have made far more plausible television to watch them stand up to Den but no- ee had to ram a childish love triangle down our throats. Typical :rolleyes:Quote:

I agree. It was a lack of character consistancy from the writters.
Last year really was so bad to how it is now. It seems like everything is tighter behind the scenes and the producers are demanding results from the writers. On top of that they're trying to use the characters in more serious ways again and not the teen bunch.
