Christmas 2018: The Resurrection of Ron and Rox?

Omg girls I’m READY

Omg yaaaaaaaass!!!

This has cheered me RIGHT up, genuinely put me in a good BLOODY mood!

It’s what we deserve!

Queen of being the only person ever to be in charge of all of the UK's 3 biggest soaps!

Oliver Kent gone then?

Mess at this being her 4th/5th/6th soap HO and Doctors are waiting

Odds on a Xmas disaster killing of a handful of deadwood

YASSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

She’s coming :clap1:

Can't wait for all the misery and suffering x

Hardly an unusual era for Eastenders

We need this!

Poor Jay though just found the love of his life and now will be made gay

It’s needed

Queen of Soap!

Bet Lynch and Dot Cotton found dead clutching their fags?

Yaaaasss :clap1:

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.

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.

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?

Jono to sneak your CV onto her desk at Elstree?

Jono to steal the job from under my nose? :idc:

She did a great job with Coronation Street. Excited to see more of Jay and Keanu hopefully :fc:
