Boyzone star set for EastEnders

[alan45]

If you look at all the irish characters in most soap we are portrayed badly.. The first was Aidan, he tried to kill himself and lived rough.. Connor and Mary, the broke up relationships. In corrie there was that nurse who had the affair with Martin (carmel i think her name was) and went mental and then Ciarian, the lovely Keith Duffy, came on and tried to break Shelly and peter up and then slept with Shelly's mum when he was with Sunita... If Steven Gately is joined EE, please let us have one decent irish person

I agree Siobhan. Irish and Scottish characters are usually portrayed as drunks. Big Jim McDonald in Corrie is another prime example. Phil the foot-fiddler in Corrie is Scottish and is already being cast as some sort of Psycho. The Bill is another programme which sterotypes the Celts.

No wonder Jim never gets out of jail!

Dear god, I hope Mr Gateley doesn't join EE. I've heard him speak and I can't understand a word he says.

As nice as Stephen Gately may be - I really can't see him in Eastenders and hope he doesn't join - no offence, but I think he'd look slightly out of place in Albert Square, but thats just me

OMG!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Chantelle or Preston or Stephen Gately Pleeeeeaaaassseee!!!! I think EE is quite good at the moment, and having odd additions to the cast would seriously screw things up
