The last time I watched Eastenders regularly was probably the storyline where Bianca's affair with Dan was exposed (that must have been 8 years ago at least.) If I've watched it since it's usually been out of curiosity or around someone's house having no choice.

The storylines nearly always have the characters sulk around spitting poison at each other with Kat being the worst of a particularly bad bunch. I find her repulsive in every way and it beggers belief what appeal she holds to fans of the program. And don't even get me started on Shane Ritchie. It's a miserable piece of television set in a miserable part of London. If you ask me, Eastenders should have been cancelled a long time ago. I find it disgraceful that I'm paying for these pointless overpaid, underworked 'actors.'

I prefer the Australian soaps where at least you have some nice looking people who smile, some great characters like Lou Carpenter & Harold Bishop who are likable and all set in beautiful scenary where it's always sunny.
