Anyone remember that period? 2005, and bits of 2006, I think. I think that entire period rocked and I haven't liked it as much since we last saw Chrissie/Jake/Johnny/Dennis...

[Smithy]

[Niamh.]

[Kazanne]

First 3 were amazing.

Johnny was OK but a really laughable villain and I liked Ruby.

[Benjamin]

I've altered the title a bit.

That's probably right, I could never take to the character once I had watched him in The Bill.

Andy Hunter was worse.

Kat and Alfie were so much better those days than in this stint, where their characters are practically ruined.

I liked the character Grant, but went off him during his 'returns' I always thought that ruined the character for me.

[bbfan1991]

I've always liked Grant, the older Courtney was brilliant too and she would have been good on the Square now because the likes of Lauren etc annoy me.

[Tom4784]

The gangster flood was almost as bad as it is now. It was like EE was trying to be some kind of godawful cringeworthy Godfather.

[InOne]

It was a bit ridiculous.

[Callum]

Yep, Chrissie is my favorite EE character ever. I miss her so much. The Den murder storyline with her, Zoe and Sam is one of my favorite storylines ever too, every episode back then was so gripping. Not like it is these days.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Bring back Grant & Chrissie #nuffsaid

Chrissie and Tracy Ann Oberman were just brilliant. I loved it when Chrissie destroyed Kate's hair in the Salon.

The Den murder SL was great, in fact I watched some old clips on YouTube yesterday of it.

[Locke.]

The greatest period of soap, ever.

Dennis will never be topped but thankfully we have Derek improving the show lately.

Didn't the exec producer at the time receive a lot of stick for bringing back Den? She got sacked as wel

Yeah she was criticised for bringing Den back, a lot of people complained it was too unrealistic and the ratings when she was in charge fell to the lowest they've ever been, 3.9 million.

[Jords]

Ruby and Danny Moon too, yeah!

She rightly deserved that criticism but people forget that she created characters like Stacey, Dennis and Jake etc, so there were some positives about Louise Berridge and her period in charge...
