Eastenders Need New Writers!
Posted in General Ramblings on 04/02/2009 08:46 pm by adminWell, that was a bloody sham. I am a fan of Eastenders, mainly because it makes me feel good about my life, it’s a harsh reminder that there are people in life far worse off than you! Although I’m sure the point of a soap is to be entertaining, not to make you want to throw yourself in the nearest river!
Tonight’s epidose was an hour special and featured the odd ray of sunshine ‘no boy will ever marry you, you want to know why? becuase you have ginger hair’ good one liner from Dotty!
The main story line was the revelation that Danielle was Ronnies kid, something we all knew for a while. Hurrah, it finally spilled out into the wedding reception and as the bitter argument went on we all screamed at the screen ‘she’s telling the truth’
Eastenders writers, please please please be more inventive, you already killed her off once, she was supposedly drowned or something. Don’t use the dirty den trick – YAWN.
point 1) the car didnt hit her that hard, although I’m not sure just how hard you have to hit someone to kill them in minutes.. but a car driving round a corner would have to have slowed slightly (its a tight bend)
the whole country is in econonmic melt down and in desperate need of something to cheer us all up and what do they do… ruin the only possibly happy story they have had in years. do you think they sit round the table at Eastenders with no other ideas than death or failed marriages. Blimey! A story about re-uniting family who have been through adoption may not be dramatic in their eyes, but it does happen in real life and is a subject that should be covered. They could of done so much with that story line… Dammit, get me a job there, I’ll spice things up no end!
There are already facebook groups and digital spy are giving spoilers away!

Here is the official BBC response from my complaint -
Thank you for your e-mail.
We note your disappointment with the ending of ‘EastEnders’ on 02 April. However, we would stress that it contained all the elements of a classic soap episode – a wedding, high drama, and tragedy.
We acknowledge we didn’t deliver the happy ending many of the audience may have been hoping for, and that for some people this was upsetting. We hope viewers will understand that our aim is to always deliver the best drama possible.
The storyline between Ronnie and Danielle was always going to be a challenging one and the producers decided from the offset that their relationship as mother and daughter would be short lived. Giving Ronnie what she’d always wanted in the long run would have impacted on what we were trying to achieve and although Danielle’s death may have been shocking for some viewers ‘EastEnders’, like all good drama, contains a balance of storylines, both happy and sad.
Please be assured that we have registered your comments on our audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which we compile daily for all programme makers and commissioning executives within the BBC, and also their senior management. It ensures that your points, and all other comments we receive, are circulated and considered across the BBC.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Regards
BBC Complaints

Eastenders is dead to me, I’m going to spend my evenings perusing amateur porn sites and spend my days making amateur porn.
Happy birthday Monkey.

I was very dissapointed to hear that Danielle Jones,(played by the talented Lauren Crace), had been killed off by the producer of Eastenders. Why can’t they just have a happy ending for once? That’s what I want, probably what other people want as well. Why can’t she just be in a coma, then she could come back, that will make us all happy.

what archie did to danielle was not fair just because that danielle wasnt even invited to the wedding it doset mean that archie can give her away just like that. that was ronnie’s decison to make to gave her away not archie he just want his little famliy back together but there anit going back is there he is the one who done that to ronnie to make sure he could love her but ronnie dose not love him. dani got killed off the show because archie told her not to come back to ronnie but it was really upsetting and ronnie’s heart was broken.
