A bit too Hollyoaks.

Agreed.

They trying to recreate a dynamic they stupidly allowed to be killed only 2 years ago. The show NEVER learns from its mistakes.

And, whilst I'm gonna give them a chance, I do think they've miscast the roles slightly. So far anyway.

I'm still fumed that Dr Legg's final days were overshadowed by being terrorised by Stuart (who should have been axed ages ago)

Doesn't look like he will go anytime soon with Kate in charge but at least he isn't as basic as Pat Phelan but he still sucks.

Then Denise went on holiday for weeks.

Then she came back and just broke up with him, suddenly her being older was an issue etc.

Now, it's like they were never together and she's flirting with Mick and he's flirting with Habiba.

It's like they wanted to reset the characters without going to the effort of actually writing a story for it. As ever with EE the last few years, all important and interesting stuff happens off screen.

That's awful.

The thing is, there was always (in my opinion anyway) clear chemistry between both Karen and Mitch, and Denise and Kush - and they have just rubbished the potential of both by forcefully switching the dynamics in order to start afresh, in the most laziest of ways. I know Kate wanted to create new dynamics but bloody hell, be more subtle about it.

Marsh. 27-02-2019 10:46 PM

That's what I'm not liking the early signs of... no subtlety.

I mean, I know this is a soap and EE isn't exactly known for being subtle. But you have to strike a balance.

It's not as though the show doesn't have enough time to fill. It actually bugs me that the show is on so often but they often want to rush potential stories and developments so then later on we get weeks of sh*t as they struggle to fill the airtime.

It's a howl that they've replaced block storytelling with half of the cast just going on holidays instead

Marsh. 27-02-2019 10:49 PM

I'm convinced Letitia Dean has upset Steve McFadden as he comes back from a three month trip, they have two eps, then she goes on a three month trip, then they have two eps, now he is on a three month trip.

Isn’t this his panto break?

Isn’t this why Ian has disappeared to New Zealand as well

Yearly panto breaks are a KII.

And Keanu is getting beaten up in Spain.

Marsh. 27-02-2019 10:53 PM

Letitia Dean isn't in panto, she cocoons herself on a tanning bed for a month.

Ross. 27-02-2019 10:53 PM

A scream if they bother to bring back Ted

They’ll just quietly forget about him

I'm not surprised they kept her upstairs, she nearly bloody died every time she left the house.
