True Fans

By Nelson

Thanks to Rick for finding this one in the Brighton and Hove Argus.

I see it was plugged how many TV viewers watched EastEnders just because Ricky and Bianca returned to the soap (The Argus, April 3).

Ten million doesn’t seem that many when it used to have 15 to 20 million watching.

If viewers were true fans they should be watching EastEnders whether Ricky or Bianca were coming back or not.

Totally. How must Phil Mitchell feel when he discovers that people are more interested in Ricky than in him? Like a poor sad potato, that’s how. We owe it to the completely imaginary folk of Albert Square to keep absorbing their poorly written lives until our souls have withered, music no longer moves us and watching “Saturday Night Takeaway With Ant and Dec” seems like a sensible way to spend an evening.

    Well said C Meeten. I hope those ‘fans’ who only tuned in to see the return of Rick-Eye and Bee-Yanker read this and are well and truly ashamed of themselves. It’s that Pat Butcher I really feel sorry for though. Mainly because of her growling turd of a face.

    I’ll only start watching again if they put Diana back in it.

    As opposed to the “Brighton and Hove Argos” where you can pick up splendid pieces of tat without seeing it first and by standing around at a counter while a spotty nerk stares at the stationary conveyor belt

    Well it’s no wonder EastEnders is flagging now that we have all this ‘Hollyoaks’ and ‘Skins’ and ‘Doctor Who’.

    I’ve never watched it, there is very little on tv that can divert my attention from online clown porn

    10 million doesn’t seem that many? And how many tune in to watch YOUR life, C Meeten? Not me. I don’t even know your first name. That’s how famous YOU are. Or should I say – areN’T!!!!!!!1111
