He wasn't iconic. Lol

He was though the only Beale child to ever be remembered

Steven was woeful and Aaron Sidwell is a dickhead.

Peaked?

Steven was the definition of going in circles. Showing up in Ian's life, almost killing Jane, telling terrible lies because he couldn't keep a partner.

He's done that three times alone.

That doesn't mean I agree with killing Steven off. I found it unnecessary but that is my onion.

My onion is that he is one of the best male actors on the show and should have been kept

The writers don't know or care themselves.

But that's what was so sad about any of these characters dying in a plot that's had no development at all.

Steven's initial return with the Peter mystery was never addressed either.

I thought that was obvious she was faking but now he's dead I wouldn't put it passed them to have the Branning sisters both having kids to a Beale brother.

Yo all thought Jonny so egg on your face

I exclusively revealed Stevens death weeks ago

No one thought Johnny would die since his exit hasn't been announced :shrug:

Yeah I think we all knew Johnny would get out of this alive.

He was tbh. He certainly had a lot more longevity in him as a character.

No that's Lucy

:laugh2:

The writing is ****

:fan:

Like the character of Steven has been in the picture since 1989. That's longer than any of the other characters apart from Dot, Sharon, Ian and Michelle. And that was his exit? Awful.

Nobody thought Johnny.

He was a major character and killed prematurely but he wasn't iconic. :suspect:

Lies.

Out of Lucy Peter and Steven , Lucy Beale would be the only name recognisable to the general public.

What a waste of a character, another character prematurely killed off by SOC.

I'd have liked to see what they could have done with Steven with someone competent as a producer. It annoys me that they never really touched on his sexuality and that he essentially became another poor representation of bisexuality in soaps.

I hate Eastenders now. Ruined what was once a great show

It's ****ed. I didn't think a producer could do more damage to a show than Kirkwood did but SOC has made his era look like the show was perfect back then. It's gong to take a LONG time for Eastenders to recover from what SOC has done to the show.
