Because it’s a blatant attempt to win a bafta

That's a cynical view ,it could also be because they care.

not Roanoke :skull:

This is the exact type of thing we need when knife crimes are at there highest they have ever been

People are aware of knife crime, I don’t think knowing the effects it has on families will stop someone from stabbing someone, if they’re way mentally inclined I don’t think they care.

Also didn't someone who acted in EE lose a brother to knife crime,it's a good thing as lots of younger people will watch it.

The acting is powerful enough, it doesn't need the real life accounts threaded in the episode (it would have worked if it was added on at the end or as a separate show)

I agree the soap drama should be powerful enough to convey the issue

Wow this bit is powerful

Omg I'm crying

The bit with all the families outside holding pictures was very powerful and beautiful and sad

It’s just a shame hardly anyone will see it

The woman who plays the priest is brilliant

I loved that so powerful and moving

Yeah I thought that! Bring her on full time we need a new bible basher

That was very powerful but I really don't think it worked, apart from the end

They were very brave to take part

I thought the whole episode was great.

EastEnders tries = viewers moan

EastEnders doesn't try = viewers moan

No wonder they can't win.

Brooke Kinsella.

She was an advisor on the storyline.

When the people on EastEnders get their passion back for the show and make it good again = Viewers don't moan

Do you even pay attention??? :oh:

Talking to Carmel in yesterday's episodes she revealed she lost a friend in a stabbing so she connected with Carmel's pain. :nono:

Not really.

DTC was very passionate, doesn't mean viewers enjoyed everything he did.

I did!

If you enjoyed the Gavin Sullivan story you're a muppet! :nono:

:hmph:
