Ian And Elaine’s Feud Is Becoming Cringe In EastEnders
Fans are slamming the makers for their constant focus on Ian and Elaine’s characters. Users believe their ongoing feud is cringeworthy and a waste of time. Many of them want the two to either get together or just end their boring rivalry. As we know, both have been a part of a petty and physical feud. It’s because they are competing for a seat on the Walford council.
Ian is running for the vacant seat because he wants to shut down Elaine’s boutique hotel, Peacock Palace. According to him, it’s a neighbourhood nuisance. Hence, in response Elaine launched her own campaign.
She also recently secured George’s Knight’s new restaurant, Knight Fusion, as a free venue for her campaign launch. But we also saw that Ian and Elaine got involved in a heated argument over campaign advantages. And soon this results in the two getting physical on the Square.
What Fans Are Saying On Reddit
Fans are saying why this strange fixation on Ian and Elaine still going on. One user said, “Either put Ian and Elaine together or end this silly little feud. It’s not entertaining anymore.” Another shared, “They are going to end up together at some point.”
Many users want the feud to stop, with one saying, “Either make them a pair or wrap it up. The only fun was when Kathy snapped at Ian.” A user added, “They don’t have much else going on. So, the feud will just keep running until the next big thing pulls them in.” A tired fan wrote, “ It’s so cringe that I fast-forward those scenes now.”
Many people also questioned Ben Wadey’s direction. One user said, “His main obsession is Zoe, and everything else is just there to fill time.” People also mentioned Oscar by saying, “He’s getting added everywhere just because he’s popular.
