I think with a new producer we could be seeing some great episodes especially the episode on Christmas Day

    The new producer doesn’t start for about a month or so and the Christmas episodes have already been filmed.

    Chris Clenshaw's stuff won't be on screen until late winter/early Spring I wouldn't have thought. They filmed the Christmas episodes a month or so ago. Next Christmas maybe!

    As had been widely reported, EE have confirmed that this year there'll be a double wedding. I am never sure of these things as they always seem a bit too self-consciously soapy. Most people don't get married on Christmas Day or New Year's Eve/Day but half the people in Walford choose these days to get hitched!

    Still, as long as the writing is good, I'll be happy.

    I look forward to a Christmas episode that is actually fairly low key. A bit of drama, maybe, something domestic, but with families having a "normal" Christmas. The best Christmas episodes ever written of course for EE remain the 1986 episodes where Den served Angie with divorce papers and Arthur gave his Christmas tree a good hiding. High drama indeed! ;) But brilliantly done and 30 million viewers for such relatively low-fi storytelling can't be sniffed at! :smile:

    Yes, I do think EE christmas episodes hasn't been great for a few years now! They would have this christmas filmed by now and hope the new producer will be better for the coming year storylines.

    I'd settle for "good". That would be a vast improvement on the last couple of years!

    Is Oates in charge now till new year?
    Because it was mentioned she will be for 2 months. So I assume Sen has already left
