    The worst thing about EastEnders at the moment is that it seems to attract so many dedicated viewers who follow it religiously but who can't actually stand it.

    Iqra randomly leaving without even notifying her long term partner
    Iqra’s underuse, axing/underuse to a point the actress quit (same thing in my mind) and her incredibly rushed exit for me.


    The Phil stuff, we now how it will end - He will get off and reunite with Sharon by the end of the year. Phil needs more episodes like Friday and only episode like that or just grow some balls and kill Phil off. He is loosing more fans the longer he stays as his storylines are getting more and more ridiculous and it’s predictable that he gets away with it so no one really cares.

    Bobby and the Monroe family are by far the best thing in Eastenders atm.

    And when it comes to Ben, I’m fed up of seeing the producers F*** up getting mentioned every 5 seconds as a reason he needs killing off (as I don’t think the same people would ever want him to return either). That storyline should have never happened without it being some specifically introduced character to come in soley for the storyline rather than write ben into a irredeemable character for people who by the sounds it think he deserved to be beaten up and attacked TWICE for being gay. The first of which his partner died so of course its going to bring out this side of him. No one deserves that.

    Completely agree. Seems bizarre to me that if somebody hates the show this much they still continue to watch every episode and post so avidly about it.

    I don't know what people see in these characters, they have far too much screen time and they're enough to cure insomnia :sleeping:

    The never ending Gray plot
    Some shockers there but I can't look past this godawful Gray mess which has simultaneously managed to be sensationalist, boring, miles away from the issue it was supposedly trying to highlight, made up on the spot as well as feeling like it will never ever end. I have visions of us all sitting here in 2025 discussing who will be his 15th victim as he prepares to front the 40th anniversary spectacular.

    Solostar is by far the worst and most annoying offender of that. I’ve seen an awful lot of negative posts from him/her recently.

    Thank you, another lovely comment berating and attacking me by someone I don't know. Sigh.

    I like them! They remind me of the more grounded characters we used to have more of back in the day. Well as grounded a character as you can be when you've killed your sister and bludgeoned your mother with a hockey stick but you take what you can get these days :D

    I really find it hilarious that you are bullied and harassed for making a post in a forum people don't agree with. If you don't like my contributions on the forum, move on and ignore, use the function that greys out my responses rather than bully and pick on me. Sick to death of this for having an opinion opposite to yours.

    And delusional fans who don't find anything wrong with it. Why do you constantly follow me around this forum and berate absolutely everything I have to say? Vindictive.

    your wrong thought aint you? those that enjoy the show are not saying nothing is wrong with it? the show isnt immune from critiscm, the issue with you(and this isnt a personally attack before you start throwing that around) is that you constantly slag the show off, normally over the smallest things and cant seem to bear the thought that other people might be enjoying it

    How can I be wrong over my opinion. It's my truth, like you cannot be wrong from having your opinion. You don't have to like my opinion or me for that matter, but doesn't give you or anyone the right to invalidate my opinion. I advise you, if you don't like my contributions, to move on and ignore, use DS ignore options moving forward.

    oh give over, no one is bullying you at all, they are simply commenting on the fact that you post, day after day, the same stuff slagging the show off, and then either turn on people when they back the show up, or just post stuff that isnt true about the show (aka claiming the bomb plot was cancelled due to the liverpool bombing)

    But you have often told people that they are wrong to be enjoying EastEnders.

    Dotty doesn't own the club...she runs it for Ruby.

    As for the worst thing, I'm biased because I can't stand Dotty and Raine so they'll always be worst whatever they do in my eyes.

    The rest of the stories are all pretty standard for Soaps. Soaps are, and always have been, mindless, sub standard 'drama'.

    Explain the above comment if nobody is bullying me. I also receive plenty of abusive messages on this forum from quite a few in this group. I'm going to ignore this thread now as it has been ruined by the usual suspects. I must come up with pro EE threads moving forward to avoid bullying it seems.

    i was saying your wrong that "delusional fans who dont find anything wrong with the show" because thats not correct, plenty of people on this forum praise the show, and also realise that there are flaws with it at the moment, no one on here is being delusional by enjoying the show, i dont need to ignore you, its called having a discussion

    thats not bullying, thats pointing out that every comment you make about Eastenders is negative, and then when someone says their enjoying the show you come back saying they are wrong to do so,

    i will add, you say its ruined by the usual suspects(which is nonsense) but there are only a certain amount of Eastenders posters on this forum, so of course the same people are going to reply time and time again,expecially when its about the same thing again and again

    It does seem you can’t find anything you like about the show though…

    Vas annoyed people with Cora and going on about the older than 70 cast more recently

    I probably annoyed people with my hatred towards Sharon.

    With you if seems to be everything is wrong. What do you actually enjoy about the show now.

    In answering the question of the thread, the worst thing about Eastenders right now, is that no matter what happens on screen, social media will always find something to moan about
