Viewers Blast George And Nicola’s Romance As A Total Mismatch
Fans of the BBC soap believe that Nicola and George have no chemistry at all. In fact, some say that the producers wrote out Teddy simply to push George and Nicola together as a couple.
Elsewhere, viewers have been praising George Knight actor Colon Salmon’s acting ability. But people are dissatisfied with the current writing for George, calling it rather basic and wooden.
Well, multiple fans also wish that Nicola had stayed single to become a fierce, independent character like Johnny Allen. Would George look better with Elaine? Yes, the audience do think that they would much rather see the former boxer with Elaine. In fact, few wanted Nicola to pair with Max Branning.
Recently, we also saw that Nicola learned about George suffering from CTE. It’s a progressive brain condition caused by his history of head trauma. She soon feels guilty for manipulating her partner for Eddie’s money. Hence, she later desperately tried to justify her past behaviour and support him.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user wrote, “Initially I liked them together, and both actors are strong. But something hasn’t fully clicked with them as a proper couple. I wish Teddy were still around, because he and Nicola had such a great dynamic, even though they were divorced. George brought out a softer side to Cindy and he also brought the best out of Elaine.”
Another added, “It sounds weird but OK on paper. It even seemed interesting at the start. But I agree it doesnt work. But to be honest, most of Wadey’s new couples don’t work. There’s no chemistry. They aren’t organic. They aren’t well-developed. I think the exception is probably Gina and Harry.”
“Poor Colin Salmon, a great actor, has now been stuck with two women he has no chemistry with in a row. I’d love to see him with someone who he was actually hot for. I mean, saying he loves Nicola is totally ridiculous. He knocks her up on a casual bonk and then feels he has to stay with her and say he loves her because of the baby? The one he had chemistry with was Cindy, but I don’t want them back together,” said one.
Someone joked saying Max and George need to swap partners. Meanwhile, do you think George and Nicola have no chemistry and are a complete mismatch? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates keep following Soap Opera Daily.
