EastEnders: new executive producer - obvious spoilers

[Redway]

Bryan Kirkwood is to be replaced later this year with Belinda Campbell, former Casualty Executive Producer.

So happy!

Hi. I'm not too sure how accurate it is - still take a look.

True. Phil Collinson seems to be obsessed with bringing in too many gays...:rolleyes:

[Jords]

Sounds like a good storyline

[Lewis.]

Yey :D hopefully the show will start to become what it used to be :)

That doesn't bother me, its the way the characters have started behaving differently every few episodes

I do hope it's true, not quite worked out for BK but he did try his best. Not sure if he would come back to HO though? At least if he left EE they could make more changes to get the show back on top form again:).

I hope it's true also. Kirkwood has had lots of time now to prove himself but a lot of EE fans have been left unimpressed.

I find it funny about how people are saying "he's only just finding his feet". Louise Berridge came in Summer 2002, and went on rapid decline, although 2003 was a very good year for EastEnders. The producer succeeding Julia Smith came in and, after a few months, brought the show to low heights. Matthew Robinson came in and, after a few months, brought the show to an extremely high standard, considering the very weak 1996-1997. Also, you tend to get a certain "feel" under each EP. The point is, Bryan Kirkwood has had enough time to improve. There's simply no excuse for it. Unfortunately, the new producer has a lot of mess to clear up...

Bryan Kirkwood...:(

Is that a reliable source though? ...

[Billy]

[Barbie]

Are you not a fan of the gays then dear??

[Smithy]

Can't help but think of Derek from Catherine Tate when I read that :joker:

They're just like anybody else. My point is that they seem to be focusing on one particular storyline or personality more than anything. Homosexuality should no longer be an issue as they are normal people - focusing on one storyline is annoying. :)

Nothing has been confirmed yet... would have been by now!

[Redway]

It wouldn't have been. We typically hear of a new Executive Producer in around October.

Then what is the problem with having "a few gays" :conf:

I don't think any gay characters/storylines are getting more screen time than any other characters, and I don't think that them being gay defines only what/who they are, just as it doesn't in real life...

Of course there are going to be storylines which involve the characters sexuality, just as long as they are not a "token" gay character, which I don't believe any are in Corrie...

Good. Easties has been murder recently.
