I've even read that a few years ago, a new Producer joined Eastenders. He joined, and a few weeks later, introduced a storyline that ultimately killed two of the main characters. It is rumoured he was sending a message to the cast, that he was in charge. Entirely possible, but still a rumour.

OK, so the EE Producer didn't kill off the entire cast, but maybe the new producer is trying to change things. After all, if the change is successful, then the new producer can argue on their CV that they successfully rebooted a successful UK TV franchise.



Same here. I used to watch it when I was a kid, but, TBH, that was because we only had one colour TV, and my dad enjoyed it. Not like now, when if anyone in the family wants to watch something (be it on TV or online), they have dozens of different ways they can watch it.
