    I am always very tempted to do the same but I have this urge to know what happens next.

    It is dire, no effort is made to write stories that make any sense. For a programme that made It's reputation on "gritty realism" it has travelled a long way from any semblance of any realism. Unfortunately it has not quite reached the position of the original Crossroads, that was "so bad it was good".

    Crossroads mainly had likeable characters. EE has very few likeable characters

    Gritty realism is out the window when its meant to be that everyone is afraid of Phil Mitchell the most unconvincing 'gangster' ever.

    Even Sam is getting to be more convincing.

    Surely you are not talking about Phil Mitchell, single handed, ruler of an Empire.

    I haven't watched EastEnders since Lucy's murder and have not missed it at all. Looking at the spoilers I know I made the right decision.

    I watch Eastenders and much prefer it over Emmerdale. Only watch Emmerdale when there's no clash with EE, which is 2 episodes a week at the moment. Don't feel like I miss much. Each to their own anyway.
