Someone who will take care of her and not obsess over her! Also, I hope Phill gets out of jail and puts Ben right!

Can't heather just be happy cos if anyone deserves it its her, but alas it doesn't look like thats gonna happen. I know happiness can be boring to watch but surely one happy story could be excused couldn't it???

And as I said before, I thought the actress who plays her got fed up with the writers and left, but she actually got kicked out, the producers just didn`t renew her contract - can`t believe it!:( Where are the likable characters, I am asking you? Tamwar and Afia - and that`s it? They all are annoying me now, and so many of them are just disgusting(Derek, Mandy`s mother, Rose etc.)

It's incredibly frustrating for their many fans, they've been treated appalingly in terms of screen time and poorly executed storylines such as surrogacy, adoption and Amira's return. All of which had the potential to be good drama but TPTB were clearly not invested in giving adequate focus to them, to do justice to either the characters or storylines.

At 14th Mar 2012, Pagan Lyle wrote:I have to agree with those that have said there are few truly nice characters left. It seems they never last long if they are nice. I am very disappointed that Cheryl Fergisons contract was not renewed, and horrified that she will be leaving in a bodybag. Its like poor Danielle Jones all over again. The audience connected with these characters because they added a niceness that is missing in the other characters. Gus was another, but luckily he managed to escape before the scriptwriters had him sucked into a roadsweeper or crushed by a toppling market stall. Whatever happened to Mrs Olubunmi? She didn't even get an exit in a taxi!

At 14th Mar 2012, BethLou wrote:Sorry, but must say I am most dissapointed that all of the tv magazines have shown this week that Ben is Heathers killer. I understand that the character of Ben has developed over time, however he is inside, a good kid, and the portrayal of him of late has been very steryotypical of young offenders. I am fully aware that there may be a backstory to this feed, however give the lad a break! Let him be the Ben we originally knew and loved, he has had some hard knocks, but he was never an evil child, change the actor portraying him for a start, he is so angry looking, we need to see him a good light, and know from the love he has received that he is not all bad!

I do have to say I am looking forward to seeing what her last episode is like I just hope Eastenders don't let us down with a rubbish ending to a great character

This wouldnt happen as he has conviction for violence which is automatic refusal for SIA badge

At 16th Mar 2012, Ofcourse wrote:Another hen night, another stripper. No stripper for the stag night of course. Yet again EE shows it's sexist double standards. Whenever female strippers are mentioned in EE there are always women/girls saying that it's sexist or it's objectifying women - remember when Tyler, Anthony and Fatboy were going to go to the strip club? Also, when Mikey asked Mandy to strip for Darren's stag night Alfie stopped it, saying 'it's not that kind of pub and Mrs Moon would not be happy' yet Mrs Moon had a male stripper in for her hen afternoon in the pub!! I hate EE giving the message that it's totally fine to have male strippers but it's bad to have female strippers.

At 17th Mar 2012, Bigsmile76 wrote:OMG, the image of Rose wearing Heather`s wedding dress is seriously disturbing! OK, she was very drunk, but she was sober when she was writing to that guy in prison and calling Derek "a bit of all right" and being so nasty to Heather! The guy who used to beat her up must have hit her head really hard!
vhairi123, ok agree with you about Masood, Fatboy and Patrick, but Tanya? How about all of those things she did in the past? The fact she has cancer now does not make her nice (it`s good she had all-clear though), and she shares the responsibility with Max for the problems she has with her daughters now, especially Lauren. Alfie is a good guy, but he lost a lot of respect from me when he told Kat - you can cheat on me, just make sure I don`t know about that. What the hell was that? Kim is funny, but over the top sometimes. Would you want your son to get a girlfriend like her?:) And Dot`s character is not as good as it used to be. Remember, she once had the whole episode just for her, she IS Eastenders along with Peggy, Pat, Phil etc. But what the writers are doing to her character now - unforgivable!
And agree with scouse503.

At 18th Mar 2012, PallyAllie wrote:Is it really necessary to end Heather's time on ee with her getting murdered? This character has had everything thrown at her, and all of it bad. Why could she have not had a wonderful wedding and then a move away from Walford with Andrew and little George? As an ee fan I feel cheated that this lovely character is not going to get a happy ending. As for Ben, her murderer, he is so far removed from the boy who first came into the show, it's unbelievable, and any shred of sympathy I may have had for him has long gone.
Ee have too many nasty characters at the moment and Derek Branning beats them all. Get rid I say!
On a positive note, I think the most moving moment on ee over the past couple of weeks was the touching exchange between Zainab and Christian. It was beautifully done and I really hope the new 'open minded' Zainab is here to stay. More stories like this please instead of all those confrontations.
