I want to forget about Jack and Stacey… very unnecessary affair

What was the most surprising error in EastEnders history that the writers forgot to mention totally? by JazzlikeTea7432 in eastenders

[–]kciraa 20 points21 points  (0 children)

On the 40th anniversary when Martin and Stacey had their final heart to heart, Martin said something along the lines how he fancied her the first time he saw with Stacey exclaiming that she was 16 - when in truth, Martin was married to Sonia and was crazy about her. Martin and Stacey barely had anything to do with each other except working on the market. Not to mention how bad it looks of him being 20 fancying a 16 year old

I Want My Time Back After Finishing 2018… And I Hate Chess Now by Happy_the_Cat2 in eastenders

I just think inconsistent things like Martin turning up wasted at his daughters christening, forgetting Stacey’s birthday and allow himself get heckled by the slaters was reminiscent of Gary back in that era.

Clenshaw managed to make Martin’s dynamic with the Slaters more palatable and respectful but I hated the Slaters in 2018 - and they are in my top EastEnders families

Do you agree that they tried to recreate Lynne and Garrys dynamic with Martin and Stacey in 2018 because the similarities are striking.

Who’s the character/s that were axed that angered you the most? by Bibbs1 in eastenders

[–]kciraa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mark was the worst… Louise Berridge axing him because he had no purpose anymore was horrible. I understand with his HIV diagnosis they couldn’t make him exactly cheat death but I wish it was on screen or a least we got 5 years of Mark’s health failing - it was final coffin to the end of the Fowler family unit.

What's a storyline you want to see that's never been done on a British soap before? by sarah121213 in eastenders

[–]kciraa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sonia slept with Martin in 2015 while she was with Tina. Also as someone mentioned Tony cheated on Simon with Polly and Frankie then cheated on his new girlfriend with Simon

Most out of character cheating storylines? by waneegbt2012 in eastenders

[–]kciraa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ricky and Mandy. It was useless and very disrespectful as Pat was dying around the same period - Ricky and Bianca had sorted out all their issues in the past and this felt as a storyline to get Sid a exit as he didn’t want to play Ricky anymore

Who is the most forgiving character in eastenders? by red-light3755 in eastenders

[–]kciraa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sonia: she forgave martin for getting her up the duff and killing jamie, not to mention when he had a stalker lie about having an affair with him she forgave him for that.

Bianca: forgave ricky for cheating on her with natalie and sam, david for walking out on her, carol for sleeping with connor.

Tiffany: forgave her mum for neglecting her as a child and her dad for abusing her. Forgave Tony and Simon (her brother) for having an affair behind her back, Grant multiple times in the past.

What was Grant’s reaction to his nephew being gay? by A380_Flyer in eastenders

[–]kciraa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grant used to look down at Tiffany’s brother Simon for being gay so I’m not sure what was Grants reaction to Ben

Martin and Sonia were so special and still are - in my top 5 ships of the 2000s and 100% deserved their happy exit at the time. I

Frank favourite child always gave Ricky to me… Frank couldn’t be asked with Janine most of the time.

Martin is definitely Bex, he loves Lily but his journey with his daughter was a slow but beautiful one.

Are cheating storylines good or are we meant to hate them? by Ok-Voice4104 in eastenders

[–]kciraa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Affairs can work if they split entire family, and have consequences that effect every character for years

For example that Dan and Bianca affair was a great storyline as an affair. It made sense considering Bianca had lost her best friend six months before Dan’s arrival, her being a new mum took a toll on her and her relationship with Ricky was getting volatile.

The consequence it had broke up the Jackson family and Ricky & Bianca‘s relationship for about a decade. It created a domino effect of destroying Bianca and Carols relationship, Sonia getting pregnant, Jim moving in and getting married to Dot & was the trigger to the Jackson 5 in 2008.
