    Isn't East Enders there for people who are just too lazy to challenge their bodies and minds?

    Hasn't it been proven that prolonged viewing of Eastenders and its associated dark themes has lead to a rise in the amount of serial killer taxi drivers? Makes sense when you think about it.

    In fairness the title of the Thread isn't fair to EastEnders but you are just as dismissive as the OP when you couldn't respond to this sound criticism of the show.
    it was a fair criticism of the show. I only said that she probably gets stuck in the room watching something he likes that she dont like. Thats grand though cos if everyone liked the same things it would be a boring world.

    That's totally wrong. It has given rise to more truck driver serial killers. It actually makes taxi drivers feel better when they see people having crapper lives than them

    So far we have been told that EastEnders is really popular and has a huge audience. So it must be a pretty boring world.

    How many times has that been said?

    Seriously, we know we don't have to watch it. We know how to change the channel. We know how to walk. etc. etc.

    Maybe he's hoping someone in the BBC would axe the show.

    They are banned in my house.No I dont think the represent society and hope they never will,certainly they do0nt represent my life.

    They are bleak and depressing.

    Maybe it's because society is getting more bleak and depressing, but Fair City at least is doing a good job of representing recent events. Building projects cancelled, characters losing their jobs and going to London to look for work, people having trouble paying bills. That's not fantasy.

    Other soapy stuff is happening too, obviously, and I can't answer for Eastenders, but Fair City is doing a better job of depicting current Irish life than anything I've seen in a theatre in the last year.

    I haven't watched Eastenders's in years, but last week I had to visit a relation and had the misfortune of walking in when the whole weeks shows were on back 2 back!!!:eek: O M G !!!! After I left the house I felt like slitting my wrist's or getting drunk (I picked the latter) :(:(.....I can't believe they can call something so depressing a "Soap Opera"...I've often watched happier episode's of "Silent Witness":confused:....I'll stick with good old Fair City:D

    Eastenders, like most things on the BBC has gone to the dogs. Dreadful characters, dreadful storylines. It infuriates me too.
