Anyone been watching Eastenders recently? I'm not quite sure whether the writers are trying to make us have sympathy for Ronnie because she's getting on everybodies nerves and it's just annoying.
Apparently her secret is going to be revealed soon so how do you think it will be revealed? I'm expecting something good and interesting because her just telling everybody in the Queen Vic would just be too boring.
I'm not sure how it will all come out, but apparently the story comes to a close at the end of April.
Jamie will be right on this thread.
I dont watch many soaps tbh :S
I kinda go through a phase of loving/hating soaps and at the moment I hate Eastenders. I think they're dragging out this whole story with Ronnie and the baby way too long and I'm personally losing interest. Like you I really hope something big happens and it just isn't revealed over a pint in the Vic or something, so boring.
I personally think they've done this really well. They had all of the complaints etc and I think from then they've adapted it really well. Stuff like this could take years to come out and yes it is a soap so it probably wouldn't have been that long anyway. I personally think that it would have been better if they had have dragged out the whole Whitney thing out for a little longer than a week sort of like what they're doing now with the same story line or even something else to give us time to forget about Ronnie then to come back to her and then have the climax to a then long story line which we'd sort have forgotten about because it's been in our hears for over three months now.
Although I think this story line is good I think it is wrong for it to be put on Ronnie. She was abused, forced to give her child up for adoption, her daughter found her 18 years later, she knew it was her daughter for about 3 minutes before she died, her sister and cousin both had affairs / relations with her now husband, she lost her new born baby, and then on top of that all as if that + more wasn't enough in about 2 years she swapped her baby which was just taking it too far in my opinion.
Also I do think that people forget that this is meant to be a real life like soap opera and not some kind of action movie. It's meant to be, as much as possible true to life and most normal streets / areas / villages wouldn't have this much drama, ever.
Ronnie is going to run away, unless that's what she did on the end of yesterday's episode. But it is dragging on now it's getting boring!
It's dragging on terribly. :(
She confesses next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
The problem is in real life people's life's can be quite boring at times.Quote:

I don't watch soaps, although I used to watch coronation street. The problem for me is that let's say your watching Doctor who, you wan't to learn more about what's going on all the time. While as soaps often drag it out and put things to one side for a while. It can sometimes take years for the truth to finally come out and by then no one's interested.
I have stopped watching but Tanya getting back with Max are you serious? he wanted to run away with stacey just a while ago because he loved her. They should never have been brought back together AGAIN. Also this Ronnie story line was like a shocker in concept but it's just become boring every day with Ronnie having a little hissy fit over someone holding her baby or something. Probably why i stopped watchign because i stopped caring.
