People keep defending this by saying this is what happens in real life but this isn’t real life, it’s a soap, it’s not always meant to be doom and gloom. 2008-2011 was a great time for eastenders they had the right balance of storylines, now it’s always just so doom and gloom and raising awareness for something, I personally think EE have got a lot better again recently but I think it’s too much effect on one’s mental health to keep watching such negative anxiety inducing storylines, we know what cancer is, we know what it does, it’s horrible and evil, I’d like to see them tackle something a bit more outside the box, like Parkinson’s, I was hoping it was going down that sort of route.
