Trivia:

I really admire the fact that EastEnders are dealing with complex issues, such as sexual abuse, and it is one of those shows that once each episode ends, you can't wait for the next episode. The scripts are good, and the acting is commendable, particularly Patsy Palmer as Bianca. The soap opera has also had its fair share of villains like Leslie Grantham's Dirty Den, Billy Murray's Johnny Allen and Larry Lamb's Archie Mitchell. There have also been iconic characters such as Barbara Windsor's Peggy Mitchell and Jessie Wallace's Kat Slater, and there are some talented child actors such as Maisie Smith's Tiffany Dean, who is just hilarious at times. Of course there have been some characters that are not as easy to relate to, I never did quite like Lauren Crace's Danielle Jones, and there have been occasions when I've read that something's exciting is going to happen, and for ages I am like Is it ever going to happen? Despite all this, I really like EastEnders, and try not to miss it. 9/10 Bethany Cox.
