Things that bug me about Eastenders…

Just a couple of thoughts that occured to me recently….

I noticed Darren is in trouble with his girlfriend, Libby, for keeping a naughty magazine under his bed. Not long ago his character was an internet entrepreneur. Don’t you think he would be able to get plenty of material on there without needing to keep magazines under his bed?! Seems like lazy writing to me, and why has he given up making a packet online anyway?

Talking of lazy writing, aren’t Heather and Hazel, now left I assume, both incredibly similar in that both characters use a pop singer as their reference point for almost everything else. Heather always refers to “George” (Michael). And Hazel looked to “Dolly” (Parton) for her inspiration. It’s not really believable for one character, but for two it’s just a bit pathetic to use the same writing device.
