Why is Ruby hated so much though? I mean i know shes small - shouldnt pick on small people, her acting isint that bad. Her and Sean make a good comedy duo!

Stacey and her mum Jean - brilliant actresses - crap storyline.

I heard Philip Olivier on the Paul O'Grady Show earlier talking about how Daran Little is now writing for Hollyoaks In The City as well as Corrie.

I wish one of them would jump ship over to the BBC and sort this excuse of a NTA winning soap opera out.

Does anyone know if Jean is moving into the Sq any time soon?

I don't dislike her because she's small, I dislike her because she's s**t.

Daran doesn't write for Corrie anymore, he left earlier in the year to go off and write for HITC - I think his last episode was the Mike's death, or the aftermath - I'm not sure.

Anyway, we're going o/t, but I do think he's a fantastic writer and although I haven't watched much of it, I've heard many good things about HITC.

EastEnders has the fabulous Sarah Phelps who can always knock out a brilliant script, but that's it - there doesn't seem to be that many good writers on the show at all. Tony Jordan is leaving again in January, and I'm not quite sure where that leaves EastEnders. Maybe it's for the better, and they can bring in some fresh new blood. With a new executive producer on the way, hopefully the future is a little more bright for EastEnders.

I don't knock the show for the sake of it, but you only have to watch an episode to see how poor it is in comparison to just five years ago.

Will Sean turn out to be a fraudster?

i still don't get it? All very well damning a storyline as 'crap' but at least say why!

I don't think Sean is a fraudster Jonathan, more likely he and his mother have some deep seated family 'history' which has led to her wishing he were dead or something.

No. When Stacey first Sean again she immediately knew who he was. It will have something to do with the mother, like Luke said, maybe she wishing he was dead. She doesn't know that Sean has come back so she's trying to convince Stacey that he's dead.
