More "cheery" plots from the crap Eastenders.

omg! Dont think i can watch that either not after reading the crew couldnt hack it during filming and having a baby myself, might catch up on it at a later date but dont think anyone with a baby/pregnant should watch it, it sounds very grime

I think this is one storyline I'd rather miss.

I think this is terrible writing from EastEnders, not due to the storyline but due to the character involved.

This sounds sick but i'm actually looking forward to this storyline, it will be heartbreaking and i'm sure Eastenders will deal with it sensitively plus I have every confidence that Jessie Wallace and Samantha Womack will do it justice, with both of them being mothers too and it's bound to affect the actors/crew etc.


Chuffed Eastenders got highest ratings out of the soaps on Christmas plus Stacey getting away made it sweet, some funny moments in yesterdays episode with Kat/Ronnie/Shirley and the beetroot when Kat had a pregnancy scare plus Alfie telling jokes, Kim being hangover etc.

Yeah I agree JB about Ronnie, she's their tragic heroine and is never allowed to be happy.. just hope she doesn't have to leave when the truth comes out because I like her character.

tch.. typical... misery upon misery.. prefer corrie

Each to their own. I find Corrie dull and inane - love the Stenders!

I'm dreading the cot death storyline and wish they'd not gone ahead with it, especially on New Year's Eve. I think the writing in Eastenders has been great recently (I'm a fan of all 3 soaps so impartial), but this is such a highly emotive subject and I think to choose New Year when most people are trying to look forward to better things is distasteful if not insensitive. #storylinefail!

Everyone complains about these storylines yet they continue to watch them... and it wouldn't surprise me if the producers continued to have such dramatic stories going. The ratings in EE keep going up and come the cot death episode I bet they really do pull in viewers.

Could you imagine a "happy christmas"? No one would bloody watch Im glad they do these storylines and hope they continue to do them.

We don't watch it since it says nothing to us about our lives but we caught the last few minutes before another prog last night. Didn't know who half of 'em were ! Corrie or Roots, as we call it, is better written and has lots of in jokes, tips of the hat to VIZ, and various hidden lyrics.

Meat n Veg I agree to an extent, I can't stand twee unrealistic shite either. But sometimes it's nice to see something good happen for a change. Ronnie's character seems to be on this constant rollercoaster of doom and it's just getting predictable and boring, I don't know if I will watch the cot death storyline tbh.

Me too... chrissakes give Ronnie a break!
