“”EastEnders is set in London and there are a lot of black people, Asian families and other cultures there and it doesn’t show that.”
If Eastenders was anything like the real place, nobody would watch it. Because it would be in Bengali/Urdu/Polish.
Here we go again!
Since when was EastEnders supposed to be realistic? With a murder rate like they have in East Enders, the place would have been demolished years ago. The idea that scripts should be tailored to titillate the egos of every single minority group is just preposterous. It is like complaining that heterosexuals were under-represented in Queer As Folk.
Charlie Clements is not the name of the character played by the actress, it’s the name of the actor who plays Bradley Branning.
Mark,
I would subscribe to that analogy sunshine. Soap actors actually talk to the ‘Turn-coat’ Sun to relate their fiction for public consumption. Just as though it was real-life stuff…thats sick!
Sounds to me like the Eastenders has a lot of potential, especially with all the publicity it’s getting on Pink.
It’s like Oscar Wilde said:
“It doesn’t matter what they are saying about me, as long as they are talking about me.”
The mixed race actress is saying that there’s not enough mixed race characters and the gay actor is saying there’s not enough gay characters. You can’t please everyone. What’ll be next, Fat Pat and Hever complaining that everyone else is too skinny.
Breaking News – Patsy Palmer wants more gingers in Eastenders!
Max Branning, Bradley Branning and Tiffany agree with Bianca.
RIIICCCCKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAY on he other hand…
The idea that individual programmes, rather than the overall output of a channel, should be manipulated to reflect the exact composition of society is, quite frankly, nothing short of ludicrous.
The fact that there are programmes with minimal, or even no, representation should not in itself be a problem. Trying to manipulate them in that way will just alienate viewers (which in the case of East Enders may not actually be such a bad thing. Far better to ensure that the overall output fairly represents as many minorities as possible as being productive and contributing members of society.
“So I think ‘Bring it on – the more kissing the better!’”
Oh yea!!! Let’s not all talk at the same time, eh.
OH, AND AVIAD: Isn’t there a song that goes:
“Who do you think you’re foolin’?”
Why not just make an effort to stabilze your stable of personalities and just sign MONKEYCHOPS, the ex-gay alcoholic schizophrenic who occasionally forgets to take “its” medications and amuses “itself” by disrupting the PinkNews threads, honey?
And thank you again for speaking for “all the viewing T.V. audiences in the world’, aka, ‘the general public’ to back up your absurd ignorance and to feed your addiction to the spotlight.
“So I think ‘Bring it on – the more kissing the better!’”
m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-X-X-X, right to ya!!!
Give your sad trolling a rest Jean-Paul Bentham. Repeating the same old drivel on every single thread – without actually making any contribution about the subject matter – makes a very convincing case for you being the disruptive troll and this ‘monkeychops’ character.
Far better to ensure that the overall output fairly represents as many minorities as possible as being productive and contributing members of society.
Exactly!

Do you have anything relevant to say about this story or don’t ya??
Now, please don’t take this the wrong way.
Oh, look at the time! I’ll be late for my Mambo lesson again. Ta! Yawn.
Jean-Paul, you really are the most tragically sad little man.
You don’t even know me, you bigot.
Jean-Paul Bentham is a good mate of mine, and he’s an ok bloke.
Jean-Paul,
A Guy walked into a Bar and went OOOOOAAAHHH!! It was an Iron bar!
Written on the wall of a Pub Toilet: “My Mother made me a Homosexual!” Written underneath it was: “If I buy the Wool, will she make me one?”
London Soho Gay Bar, written on the tiolet wall: “Everyone in this place is so…..Gay!
