A soap opera which used to be unmissable entertainment, but since about 2001 it has completely lost the plot. All the interesting characters have gone, replaced by people who are either irritating, obnoxious or both. I've lived where there are a lot of real eastenders and they're nothing like the ones in this soap opera. Albert Square is now populated by patronising working-class stereotypes (who are usually criminals, wife-beaters, serial killers etc). Nobody can keep their trousers/skirt on for more than five minutes, and Dirty Den suddenly rising from the grave shows how desperate the series has become, having exhausted all possible storylines years ago. Only continues because soap operas are so cheap to make. Once you've built the sets, you can use them forever, and you only need to go on location for a week twice a year and have a special effect once in a blue moon. And you can use the same storylines over and over. Eastenders always has an extra-depressing storyline at Christmas. Ho-ho-ho to you as well. By the way, Eastenders is now on four times a week, so that's even more padding to enjoy.
To hell with decent plots and characters. What we want in eastenders are headline-grabbing gimmick storylines, no matter how ridiculous they are. Lol! Eastenders was always larger-than-life, but surely there must be some limits.

EastEnders is the best British soap opera on television. It was first broadcast on the 19th of February 1985. It has had numerous storylines over its long history many of which have had a mark on British culture. It is the most awarded soap opera in Britain and holds the record for airing the most watched TV broadcast episode in the history of the United Kingdom when 30.15 million tuned in to watch Den hand Angie divorce papers in 1986. Eastenders reigns supreme and continues to air unmissable drama Monday to Thursday on BBC One and Iplayer.
Have you watched Corrie tonight? No I don’t watch that abysmal soap I watch the superior soap EastEnders instead.
