Default Has EastEnders really turned a corner?

No denying it's come a long way since the late Brookside-esque SOC/Yorke days but in terms of public perception it's never been as unpopular and irrelevant. Does anyone think there's potential for a golden era still?

It's a lot better than it was for the last couple of years but it won't be relevant again until the Christmas eps, hopefully it can build momentum from there

For me, no not really.

It's gotten a little better and some things they have done have really paid off - Ruby being back for instance I love her, great character and I like that they are rebuilding the Beales (BUT BRING BACK OUR JANE!) and I also like Sharon getting a more central role.

However the casting of Ben has been a disaster, he's absolutely terrible and the Halfway storyline feels so shoehorned in to recreate the Robron couple and please its worshippers. Stuart staying around too, he's a rapist and a killer and they expect us to forgive and forget?

Stuart for all his faults is no rapist.
