Sat, 09 May 2009 18:51:06 +0000 http://www.eastendersblog.com/how-did-eastenders-scriptwriters-get-it-so-wrong/#comment-6110 This is the honest truth..I haven't watched Eastenders consequitively in 2 years...I started around a little time after Danielle came on...My friends and Family were talking about it non-stop. So I tuned Eastenders on sat my self on the settee to watch it. well now I hate it and dont watch it...b/c of their Stupidity. That episode was so Emotional and I actually cried, and had Goosbumps from the Emotion it was unreal. But the unnecessary Death of Ronnie's daugther Danielle was Uncalled for and a Disgracfull Error. *sigh* Just when I thought Eastenders producers/Writers got the whole Audience (of all ages) hooked and glued to their seats..their eyes fixed on the oh so wonderful Soap that is Eastenders..they go and do a thing like that.

They've a long way to go before they can compare themselves to Shakespeare. From the start, the writers only saw Danielle as a device to develop Ronnie. Well, they shouldn't have given her such a sad backstory that would make people care about her. No actress would ever play a character like Danielle as a plot device and the audience being decent people wouldn't have seen her as such. So when the writers coldly subject a character we love to immense sadness, no happiness, a lazy and brutal death and a rushed funeral, we hate them for it. Danielle would have affected many, so she should have been treated more sympathetically and as a character in her own right, not just as an animal in the headlights to develop Ronnie's character. And we hate that the other characters have forgotten her and are not reflecting our grief. Ha, you’re right, Col. They’ve a long way to go before they can compare themselves to Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's leading characters didn't meet tragic ends unless they deserved it (even Hamlet was a murderer) or had experienced sufficient true happiness. It's poetic justice. Vice should be punished and virtue rewarded. Where was the reward for the already tragic but virtuous Danielle? 17 seconds was not sufficient true happiness. EE compared Danielle and Ronnie to Romeo and Juliet (Danielle bought the DVD) so I will. Romeo and Juliet fall in love, marry and consummate their relationship - sufficient happiness - so when the tragedy happens, the audience don't feel cheated or intense injustice. There is a balance of happiness and tragedy. Shakespeare gave Romeo and Juliet much more happiness in three hours than EE gave Danielle and Ronnie in eight months! EE can’t write tragedy.

Just shows they don't think about the audience but are only writing for themselves.
