EastEnders' Ronnie and Roxy's funeral

By Chrissie

Having read Kevin's witty view on the demise of the sisters, I was reminded of the laugh out loud scenes with the new headed Michelle when she ' confessed' to Sharon. I have never seen such bad acting, not even in Eastenders! She read the words written for her with about as much emotion as asking for a cup of tea with sugar!

She seemed to keep remembering how emotional the confession was supposed to be, so threw in the odd frown of concern. She confessed to having a toy boy lover, one of her young pupils, but while Letitia Dean acted her socks off, no response came from the dummy - sorry, the actress.

By the way, was she allowed to called it acting? I'm sure I could deliver those lines properly, so could anyone over the age of 14 who knew what emotion was, so is it maybe that no real actress wants a part in the show as the storylines are, as Kevin rightly said, ridiculous!

What has happened to this once watchable programme? The new Robbie character wouldn't look out of place on kids tv. Overacting is an understatement, but as for the predictable plot e.g. making Dot's black cat out to be a demon creature, with Robbie acting terrified was the lowest of the low all round. And as for the other storylines, Abi the temptress, Lauren a high flier, ridiculous Taylor family, the list goes on & on.

All the characters & plots seem to be the pick of the bunch from a pile of dud scripts left over from a workshop of fourteen year old illiterate students who were taking the mick! I think it's time the BBC ditched the has-been show & use our licence fee on proper entertainment.

How about showing the show from the beginning, great plots, believable characters (mostly) & good old Ang. & Den? Or the testcard?
