sounds interesting, maybe Martin helps her die

Indeed, and Dot will probably retire soon, Ian will probably leave in a few years too, and that would leave just Pat, and even she has been neglected despite the arrival of some long lost relatives of hers that came out of, well, nowhere. :rolleyes:

EE are losing the lynchpins and replacing them with lynchmobs.

I totally agree with you. EE are treating their long term characters very badly. They are the lynchpins. Yes, we have some new characters who have potential, but how can you care or invest in characters that have been there two minutes. Denise, Squiggle, Kevin, Max and Tanya are good but they are outweighed by the Dawn, Carly, Deano, Chelsea, SJ, Sid lot. They've also gone back to concentrating too much on certain characters while other disappear for weeks. And why are we having yet another fight between Phil and Ian or Minty being taken for a ride yet again. This is the Minty who used to run those awful flats and was a nasty piece of work.

Back to Pauline. I don't even know why they bothered to marry the character off. It has hardly been a marriage, you never see the characters together. I'm not saying that Wendy Richard should run the show with her demands but would it have hurt them to listen to someone who has played a character for over 20 years. They would have been better leaving Derek with them as a friend for her. A woman in her 60s who was totally devoted to her Arthur with a male companion who was simply a friend. That worked much better.

I'm trying to remain positive about EE, but the storylines and the writing are still poor.

You know, we often disagree on many things, particularly on Sonia, but for once, I totally agree with you. Great post. :clap: :)

I never liked Wendy Richards or her character Pauline Fowler so to be honest Im not that bothered about her going. But I do hope she goes out in style.

I forgot about him being nasty ! When he used to give Janine a hard time for rent etc/...

I sincerely hope that as the commitment has been made to kill her off that it is done in style and sincerely wish that Michelle would come back for the funeral.

I hope they bring back Kenny Beale as well. :cheer:

Who the hell is Kenny Beale ? Never heard of that one Ritchie Poppet

Kenny was the brother in New Zealand wasn't he??

yes he was....but he was never in e/e was he?
