I get the feeling with all the poor scriptwriting none of them can be bothered to act....with the exception of Sharon Watts who...overacts.

Can i ask who you right a great Actor in soap land at the moment?


To be truthful I think most soap actors aren't that great. I think the last time something moved me on EastEnders was when Dot bumped off Ethel, that was done so well and it was so moving.

June Brown is a fantastic actress but her parts have been watered down so much of late. I also rate Pam St Clemence, sadly Pat is very underused. Even Ms Windsor's acting has been a little hammy of late. They are a small handful of decent actors in the soap but sadly all the actors are let down time and again by the piss poor scriptwriting.

James is an awful actor, I can't seem him setting the stage alight in the West End any time soon.

James Alexandrou has been a real star.

Laughing James is one of the worse actors in EastEnders!

His acting range is minimal! I was surprised they put Fartin & Ben together in a scene, they could have been a fire with all that wood lying around!


That is the first time i have ever saw someone say that Shocked James And Sonia will have wonderful careers after EastEnders.Can i ask who you right a great Actor in soap land at the moment?


I can't see James having a great career somehow. Natalie might get a bit of drama work on the BBC, but I can't see her doing anything much bigger than that.

I think the strongest members of the cast are the older members. June Brown, Pam St. Clement and Barbara Windsor seem to carry the show and steal the scenes they're in. I think Diane Parish is also another fantastic actress, but none of the rest of the cast stand out for me at all. It doesn't bode well for the future of the show if the only good actors are the older actors, who will eventually leave during the next few years, leaving us with who? Deano?

Out of all the soaps' younger casts, EastEnders has got to have the weakest. If I see Carly screech or Dawn attempt to act out a dramatic scene one more time I'll scream.

That is a matter of opinion, with which many would not agree. The sooner they axe this pathetic excuse of crap television the better.

And I'm sure an average of 9 million viewers will agree with you!

I agree, just look at the pathetic smoke marks on Pauline's wall.
