I think that is the real problem, Richie. It is the ridiculous story lines and the poor scripting. We still have some great actors in Eastenders, but they just get dreadful stories. Give actors like Adam Woodyat, Wendy Richard, June Brown, Pam St Clement, John Bardon and Rudolph Walker something decent to do and it could get back to how it was....but I'm afraid it won't.
