Also only 4000 people have actually complained, but as I understand it they have a base rate figure (similar to the BARB viewing figures) which equates to 1 x viewer complaint = X number of unhappy viewers... But I guess EastEnders knew this would happen & they did the storyline to shock & see the show hit the headlines anyway unfortunately...

Why would they need to do it for ratings, they consistently get high enough ratings as it is.

I agree all that depressing storylines must have had a right effect on her.
