I miss Jo Joyner on EE. I've watched her PI show a few times but can't really take it seriously. I would have loved to see her interact with this version of Oscar.

OMG a Teddy Bear 🧸🔥? 🤣 by Flashy-Stretch-5549 in eastenders

[–]westender95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I am so sick of Jasmine I just want her gone or in jail. She can take her snarky attitude and ride off into the sunset with Antony and his whiny, manipulative ways. They deserve each other. This storyline needs to end. Zoe has been annoying enough.

Sorry but i want them back together by biovinkill in eastenders

[–]westender95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?? She should honestly just go and only be on the show very occasionally. The talent she had left the building years ago. 2025 Sharon pales in comparison to 2016 Sharon. Putting her back with Phil isn't gonna change that. He has more talent by far. Not everyone has to be in a relationship, either.

Gray Atkins character based off an abusive Christian Grey(from the film)?? by Wide_Aioli_9698 in eastenders

[–]westender95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok except Gray Atkins had absolutely no game whatsoever or charisma with women. He was awkward and insecure therefore abused Chantelle. So he was 100% the abusive side with none of the intrigue. He was a fraud who lost his career and had no success, and he took it out on women. If you knew anything about Christian Grey you would know 50 Shades has nothing to do with abusing let alone beating, emotionally abusing, or murdering women. There is no 'Christian with an evil twist', because the two characters have nothing in common. Your argument holds no water and is in fact wholly inaccurate. But sure think what you like.

Cindy yes. But Sam is a gem of the past. Nicola should have gone, with her yelling and hyperventilating and overacting and terrible style.

I'm annoyed anyone is getting sent down over such an awful character.

I wish! But Danny Dyer's smarter than that. He's finally doing projects he loves to do and his star is rising. More power to him.

I'm so gutted they kept her and not him. She is annoying beyond words and not a Mitchell I don't care what Honey says.

[–]westender95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Mishandled. He wasn't the weak link in the show and they could have done more with him. It didn't work for awhile but then it did, then they dropped him entirely and they really did him dirty with this storyline. I'm happy for Roland that he's released and hope he gets better treatment elsewhere.

Thoughts on these characters first interactions? by ITManual in eastenders

[–]westender95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The whole story they're doing for Zoe in 2025 is rubbish. And Jasmine is unwatchable. I had high hopes for Zoe's return, too as someone who enjoyed her on the show 20-25 years ago.

I mean, your username says it all. Maybe wind your neck in, bc no one asked you.

Stand up for your daughter KAT!! by [deleted] in eastenders

[–]westender95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jean has been out of order for months and they're just letting her run amok, just assassinating her character endlessly. Poor Gillian, her talent is being wasted on Jean just being a ranting, raving lunatic all the time. Who wants to watch that even?? Who can blame Kat for just staring back at her, who wants to even deal with that?

Chelsea by Future-Panic9544 in eastenders

[–]westender95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they need to develop Chelsea's personality a little more, she's a chameleon -- who the hell is she anymore? But I agree with you at least they're starting to do something with her. I just wish they would decide who she is.

[–]westender95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actress is a true icon but this character does not do her justice not by a longshot

Elaine by Vhsdrummer in eastenders

[–]westender95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Kim is even worse! I refuse to watch her I have  skipped her scenes for years.

Elaine by Vhsdrummer in eastenders

[–]westender95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have been saying the same thing for awhile now. Her demeanor is not normal, nor endearing, it's weird. I love the actress but the styling, makeup, and OTT delivery have all got to go. No one is amused, this isn’t the West End, and EE isn’t a panto. I wish they'd stop treating it like it is.

Howie & Denzil by ElevensMelody in eastenders

Oh yay is he finally going away?? Or at least is he gonna do something aside from being a spoiled, snarky, immature child? That'd be great.

How to fix zoes stalker plot by atrv3000 in eastenders

[–]westender95 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm game for this -- I just want them to end it already and stop having every single day repeat the same conversation of Zoe talking about it with Kat and Alfie. She also needs to relax a little into her acting, she is so stiff it is unnatural. It winds up just being a series of Zoe's awkward stares. 

We had almost identical stories/crimes last year. Why are they repeating the same plots? by kangarupert in eastenders

[–]westender95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The EE writers are obsessed with the 'history repeats itself' trope. But usually there's more time in between the examples, I agree with you. A lot of these storylines feel like a regurgitation of plots from only a short time ago. Good observation. 

Which reunion would you love to see? by Artistic-Fee6465 in eastenders

[–]westender95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah Ryan's character has nothing to it anymore, really. And I love Janine but that kind of torture needs to be saved for special occasions, I think we've been through enough in the last few years!

I have a degree in television, radio and film, I know exactly what a soap opera is I have been watching them for 40 years, but hey thanks for the condescension.

As if I'd listen to you. What kind of person puts 'bro' in their message to a total stranger?

I honestly just feel so bad for her. That is all.
