In fact, we can say that they also discuss some intense social issues. Meanwhile, what kind of groundbreaking ideas do the fans suggest? Keep scrolling to learn more.
Fans Demand New Relationship Angles
Viewers want to see a happy, childfree couple who never face unexpected pregnancies. In fact, a user suggests an infertility plot where a couple stops trying and accepts a childless life. Elsewhere, fans are also hoping to see a main cast family of East Asian heritage.
While some want a sudden suicide plot where friends must piece together clues that were left behind. And another involves an honour killing storyline to explore conflicts within a family. Also, many users joked that they want a plot focused entirely on the neighbourhood’s garbage bins. Others suggest simple touches like characters keeping in touch with friends who move away.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “An affair is something I’ve always wanted to see or maybe a storyline about a murder but we don’t know who has committed the murder.” Another shared, “A happy childfree couple that doesn’t decide to go through with an unexpected pregnancy or better yet never gets pregnant and stay 100% happy with that choice.”
Elsewhere, a third dropped, “Not sure if it’s ever been done but an infertility story where nothing works and for whatever reason adoption isn’t an option, so the couple eventually decide to stop trying and live childless. It’s a real life for many couples but that side of infertility isn’t often told to you as you only hear success stories.
Someone else wrote, “Might be quite bold, but I saw a few saying this during Ravi’s mental health storyline. A familicide storyline could be really interesting if pulled off correctly. I somehow see it never happening, though, because that would be insanely dark but if it can be done in a correct manner, there is a lot of potential there.”
“A baby born on or after their due date; at a time of year that’s not Xmas, New Year or the middle of February,” said one. While a user wrote, “Someone has a career they have studied for and works outside of their local area and goes there every day.” Meanwhile, which idea impressed you the most?
