Fans Name Their Favourite Recent Additions To EastEnders
Viewers of the BBC soap are absolutely loving Nicola and they have named her a massive standout addition to the show. In fact, fans are desperate to see her get bigger, better storylines that move her beyond just a standard mother role.
Also, the audience feels deeply frustrated that Teddy Mitchell was written out of the soap so quickly. Viewers believe that his character had immense potential as Mitchell, and the soap completely wasted his potential.
Elsewhere, the fans also adore Priya’s diva personality, but they are not happy with her current writing. Many feel her recent affair drama with Max Branning is completely beneath her character. Also, Kojo and Harry’s brilliant friendship has been a huge hit with viewers.
Fans have been pleasantly surprised that Harry has evolved beyond a standard violent Mitchell muscle-head. Even Oscar Branning is a favourite for many viewers. But his latest storyline with the twins is getting heavy backlash. Critics also feel the plot is ruining his character and making for incredibly sour television.
What EastEnders Viewers Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “Of the newer people who came in over the past couple of years, who has been your favourite? Literally the only one I like is Nicola, I think she’s great, I hope she gets better storylines in the future.” To which another added, “Agreed. I really liked Teddy too. Such a waste of a character writing him out he had so much potential and I feel like he wasn’t really given a big enough storyline to show his full potential as a Mitchell.”
Some other section of the people wrote, “I love Nicola and I have been so pleasantly surprised by Harry. I really thought he would end up being some musclehead like Phil/Grant/Mark. Edit to add Oscar, I absolutely adore him. I really hope they don’t continue to put him in this ridiculous storyline with the twins. I’m bisexual, and I feel like it just fuels the hateful things people say about people who are bisexual.”
Elsewhere, someone else commented, “Priya is an absolute diva, and even being thrown into Max’s bullshit, she shines. Can’t quite tell where they wanna take her character rn, but I’ll happily take more scenes.”
