I may be a lone voice here, but I think the Killing of 'Dirty Den' is a terrible thing to happen to the show. If he's being saked by all means write him out, but I'd like to see him return for a few episodes now and again, like Frank Butcher.
For 14 years Den was dead, it was fantastic to hear he was coming back, to be reunited with Sharon. The idea of killing him off again is terrible - a tragedy - he is the main icon of Eastenders and I believe leaving their options open would be best.
The problem for Den was that his stories were terrible, not interesting, and to blame it on him is wrong!
The shows main problem over the last few years is poor writing - too many charicters that need killing off.
I for one will be very sad to see old Den go - but I hope he goes out in style and is remembered in the show - he's been there from the start so PLEASE Eastenders lets see the square raise a glass to the old mucka!

I disagree. Every line Leslie Grantham utters is done in the same monotonous threatening whisper - regardless of who he is speaking to or what motivates him in that scene.
He only has one 'style' and, once I saw it again, I remembered he was alway that lousy.
EastEnders looks set to be very good tonight and is pick of the day in many of the magazines and papers, as far as I know this is the summary of tonights episode:
Chrissie and Den's vow renewal takes an unexpected turn. Chrissie suggest another option for Zoe's future.
An idiot that paradoxically craves more intelligent television programming from broadcasting companies.
When I am tired and bored of the vast and nearly uncountable beauties, sights, sounds, peoples, history, geology, archaeology, inventions and fascinations of the real world, maybe I'll then think for a short moment about donating soaps, dramas, Big Brother, Simon Cowell, X Factor, Pap Idol, I'm a Celebrity and sitcoms a nanosecond of my time.
Until then, I must go and finish a chapter of the science book I'm reading and browse the latest National Geographic magazine before bedtime.....
Dumping all sitcoms in with the rest of that lot?
Yep, idiot about sums it up.
Besides, it's one of the most ridiculously pretentious posts I've read in a while...
