EE - Denzel and Nugget

These two should have their own spin off show. On Cbeebies so I dont ever have to watch it.

The show never does well when it focused on teens.

    Rip off Shakil and Keegan.

    It doesn't do well when they write teens as brain dead and annoying.

    Wish they hadn't named him Nugget. I never warm to characters with stupid names. See also Squiggle and Fatboy.

    I can't stand Nugget, the actor is pretty shit as well.

    Denzel is alright, but I don't like Howie so they can both leave as far as I'm concerned.

    I didnt mind Squiggle so much but Nugget is just ridiculous.

    Have to admit I usually zone out when these two are on screen although I did love Chelsea well and truly putting them in their place a few weeks back!

    I dont mind Howie per say, but I dont see what he adds to the show when you have Harvey and Mitch who are quite similiar.

    I like them. They are annoying but most teenagers that age are so at least there realistic. I’ve a feeling one of them is going to get Amy pregnant & seeing as all the hints have been that Denzil secretly fancies her then no doubt it will end up being Nugget that will do the deed.

    Both are abysmal and can’t take to either of them

    Don't like either of them. Don't see why the Panesars needed their family extended and never liked Howie much, so I'd like them all written out. The show does need teen characters but better ones than these. Also, why are they hanging out with Tommy when he's much younger than them.

    I don’t mind Denzel, but can’t stand Nugget (and the nickname is beyond ridiculous).

    I also think it’s ridiculous how they haven’t even explored his relationship with his dad Ravi. Considering Ravi was in prison and away from him during his childhood, you’d think they’d build on that for storyline potential.

    Where is his mother? Why is Ravi a better bet than his mother for custody?

    Ravi doesn’t strike me has someone who would let nugget’s mother decide who has their son.

    There's very little likable about them at the moment although I guess their behaviour is somewhat realistic. Despite that I see some potential but saddling them with this storyline when they've barely been developed seems like a recipe for creating very short-lived characters.

    I think they have potential. The Nugget actor seems good and Denzel may be OK too.

    The difference with Shakil and Keegan is, both of them could actually act!

    I don't mind Denzel and Nugget. Right now they are both jerks but it's not exactly unrealistic. Also they might become nicer people later on. Keegan was arguably worse when he first started and he had a drastic turnaround.

    Also it's good for Eastenders to try have some focus on the younger characters and build them up. It makes a break from just seeing the same long term characters over and over.

    He wasn't at the start. I think give them a chance as usually after the start they tone down the youngsters a bit.
