Isn't it ironic that now that SOC is actively trying to broaden the community aspect and make it feel like an ensemble, the show actually feels more dead and lifeless than ever.

Like think back to the time Lucy died and the whole thing was bustling.

Or when Janine tried to flee and all the characters were stood around in the Christmas market watching her get arrested.

It feels empty now. EastEnders is at its best when it feels busy.

I do agree though.

It feels like hardly anyone is there.

It's probably because Linda and Sonia are on a break, Ronnie and Roxy died, Lee and Claudette left etc so there's a lot of broken families and units.

And then you have people who are supposed to be in the midst of quite big stories like Jack and Max. Jack's grieving and dealing with Glenda (who they've shipped off again), dealing with Matthew who would definitely have had Dot and Charlie interfering. Then Max with his revenge plot which has had one scene, and trying to repair his relationship with his family.

But, no, the show just has no buzz or movement in its stories at all.

I don't understand why DS loves him so much. The show is actually terrible at the moment.

I've noticed this... Not many mother-and-father relationships, in fact not many relationships at all, empty nest households or a lack of siblings, households consisting mainly of step-family or close friends rather than those biologically related.

Probably extended from Lee Ryan's family once they've tested the waters with him for his first three months. Yawn.

He'll be another Carl White. One of the symptoms of the show being sh*te.
Except this time there'll be no Ronnie to bump him off NYD 2018.
