I think it will be pretty soon. If the engagement party is in less than two monts from now, he's got to propose pretty soon. I'm just guessing but it may be next month but then again it could be a week before they have their party.Quote:

Anyway...can we get back to a Shannis babbeh?
It'd be such a gorgeous kid!!
Yes I don't think Sharon and Dennis care about how anybody else feels anymore? Things have been ruined enough times for them. I'm sure Chrissie will give them her support, she cares about them, and wants them to be happy. And Dot has always been a close friend of both of them. Pat is never judgemental so she'll be there. Hey it's a Walford party isn't it! If there's free drinks going, people probably won't care! They'll probably have a crowd there!Quote:

One thing though about this was that this whole storyline was inevitable. Its a continuation of the shannis 'franchise' so to speak and will keep the shannis lovers happy whilst tackling a serious issue but thats where things could go wrong.
In my opinion, Eastenders is notoriously bad at handling sensitive issues admitedly there have been a few exceptions (Dot's cancer storyline for example) but these 'rays of light' are incredibly as stated. eastenders seems to prefer to go for high drama and twisting a storyline out of reality to pull in cheap high ratings, where as opting out of the more 'sensitive' approach.
This is a serious issue, postcode lotteries, varying success rates, all news of late. If Eastenders does take a slippy path it risks the potential to undo all of its improved work of late.
I think the IVF Storyline will work well. They've got great actors portraying it, Letitia Dean whose been in the soap since the beginning, and Nigel Harman who has really shown his acting ability since he's arrived in the square. They are characters which the audience care a lot about, and I think a lot of people with have empathy for them.Quote:

I really love Dennis and Sharon's realationship, it's strong, and it has a lot of scope. There is so much they could do with these characters. And the writers had better not make them another Den, do something great with them! There not to be wasted.
For me, they definitely are the characters with the most depth in the show and the only pair I could see carrying a storyline as important as this with their screen presence that will draw all its initial viewers back and reward the loyal ones that didn't stray to flipping Coronation Street or something lol. I don't mean to be fickle but would you really watch if, say, it was Martin and Sonia or Jane and Ian trying for a child? I'm not disputing the fact that Martin and Sonia, and Jane and Ian work well together because they do, but I just think given the depth of Sharon and Dennis and their history it's only right and fitting that they should have the storyline of the year because, in my opinion, it's their doing that's helped save the show... anyone that could shine despite the bad patch (April 2004) deserves a round of applause from me. I think EastEnders' approach to this issue will be taken with the utmost sincerity, after the Ferreira's and Zonnis they owe us this much at least.Quote:
