Oates doesn't really swing the axe. She finds something for the character to do.

Rather than blaming a lack of material on the character itself.

Here for the era of Linda Carter. :clap1:

To be fair, deadwood isn't actually Eastenders' biggest problem at the moment and the last thing the show needs is another mass exodus after's SOC and Yorke's mad axings. Most of the characters have a place within the show so Kate Oates should be able to just hit the ground running with stories. It's certainly the strongest cast she'll have worked with in soapland thus far. I'm so ****ing perched :flutter:
I have a feeling Jay is going to be brought to the forefront. Oates loves a tragic young male.

Marsh.

Yeah, I think the show is actually in a decent state. It just needs a producer with big stories and ideas to come in and execute them.

Like how Newman tidied up after Kirkwood so DTC could just come in and throw his ideas in straight away.

Rob!
08-08-2018, 08:41 PM
Exactly. Sounds as if Yorke is going to hold her hand till the end of the year (As if the queen needs it :flutter:) and then it'll all be down to her. I bet ITV are ****ting themselves :joker:

Here for a Christmas to leave us all shook!

This Christmas is crucial for the show if it wants to get ratings up! Hopefully she'll be fully in charge by then otherwise Crimbo will revolve around the awful bloody Stuart storyline

She apparently starts in October (after she's finished on Bancroft presumably) so I imagine the Christmas stuff will already be in production by then. She may have some impact on it though.

****ing queen though, what a CV she's got for herself.

Is Ms Oates looking for a Mr Rob to help ha?

Marsh.
