I am an Ex Pat who has been here for 17 months. Not once in that time has BBCA advertised a single episode of Eastenders. It has never been promoted. There is a petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/savebbca/petition-sign.html? and just today it has gotten over 200 signatures. EE has a very loyal following, The message board for EE is the most populated baord on all of bbcA's discussion rooms. We have even had some of our messages censored by BBCA. A lot of us have tried to phone Paul Lee's office at 301 347 2214 to express our displeasure but we have been either ignored or given the same line that you have shown with regards the ratings. A lot of us love changing rooms and Groundforce but not the constant repeats of the same episode. BBCA does not do enough to gain big sponsors for EE and as I already mentioned it does not even advertise the show. Thank you for posting my message

The first time I ever heard of the British soap opera "EastEnders" was, ironically, on the British comedy series, "Whose Line is it, Anyway?" Host Clive Anderson would sometimes ask his guests to perform a particular scene in a variety of styles, "EastEnders" amongst them. When I learned that I could watch "EastEnders" on BBCAmerica, I decided to find out what all the fuss was about.
I'm proud to say that I've been an American fan of "EastEnders" for about a year now, and that's really saying something, since I've never been a fan of soaps before. Soap operas here in the States are claustrophobic productions that focus mainly on the young, wealthy, and beautiful. "EastEnders," on the other hand, is so very much more real, depicting the lives of average people often struggling to make ends meet.
Up until now BBCAmerica has been broadcasting a weeks' worth of "EastEnders" every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., and watching the program has become a midday Sunday ritual for legions of fans here in America. Imagine my horror, then, when BBCAmerica announced that the programme would no longer be broadcast on Sundays, and that it would only be shown Friday afternoons at 3:00 (when most people are at work).
One need only look at the "EastEnders" discussion board on BBCAmerica's website to realize that American fans are extremely angry at this schedule change, yet by all accounts BBCAmerica is ignoring us. This is tremendously demoralizing.
I'm writing this letter to bring this issue to the attention of all "EastEnders" fans, wherever they may be, as well as the powers-that-be at the BBC in London. "EastEnders" fans in America are absolutely horrified and heartbroken that we are being treated so shoddily by BBCAmerica.

Doesn't Ian look dead sexy with that new, short badass no nonsense whupp ass sleek haircut? I could quite fancy him. I'd like to challenge you fans to explain who your fave characters on EE are and why. What do you like so much about them. Who are your LEAST fave characters and why and what DON"T you like about them. Who is the best looking and the sexiest and why? Just curious and thought it might generate a bit of fun around here. Anyone like to join in the fun?

Mel gets out of jail after Phil payes her bail after much hasling from LIsa. Mel finds out that she is pregnant too! When she leaves on friday 12th she has a final Queen Vic showdown with some thunderbolt revelations.

Hi all. Eastenders totally rules!My fav person was Steve Owen....shame bout him.....he was the villain we all loved to hate.and just loved.......I love Martin Kemp....he's da best......all Martin Kemp fans.....U probably know this but just incase, he is going to star in a 2 part programme called "Daddy's Girl" later on this year...He plays a gardner who is accused of murdering his wife. My other fav characters are Mel, Lisa and Mark. I feel soooooo sorry for Mel and what Steve put her through. Her last episode is on April 12th. I bet she gets locked up....i hate that sort of exit for a character but i bet thats how it happens.In an interview with her she said "the door will be closed but not bolted" so i think she will come back after a few months. Dont you think Lisa and Mark make such a gr8 couple? I wounder how long their happiness will last tho! The Babes of Eastenders would have to be Beppe and Jamie. Dr Truemans o.k i spose but no one will ever replace Steve......sorry i keep going back to him.....i just love him sooooo much...he's got the most sexiest eyes i've ever seen....and voice.....WOW! Well im goin now but be back soon.....If anyone wants to know anything bout Martin Kemp (believe me i know loads) or anything else ive bin chattin bout, or about upcoming storylines for mel then please please e-mail me.......speak to you soon........
p.s Janie.......ur stories r quite funny....
bye

Yowsa earthlings. I am the helmsman of the Zork - a Vogonian exploration vessel from the Horses' Arse Nebulae. My ship was forced to enter your star system cos I had some rough runnin' on number three. The guy at the garage changed the plugs and now it starts first time and runs cooler. It's good news, naturally, and will enable me to return to my mission - the translocation of bread fruits from Vogon's equatorial oceanic region to Whethafukawee - a colony in the fourteenth sector of Zwork.
During my short stay on your planet I've marvelled and wondered at Eastenders. My only regret is that there simply isn't enough space aboard my ship for the entire cast

Yikes, what's going on with that Nan, aka Big Mo, aka Momma Whiplash? I thought I was going to lose my Spaghetti Hoops on toast when she started scraping her feet and trimming her toenails when the rest of the clan was hiding behind the curtains there a while back, eavesdropping on her talking dirty to that perv on her cell phone!! Is Zoe a couple of chips short of an order or what? Why the hell did they all stand by and watch the fool burn that cheque? I'd say that big tub of perverted lard, Harry damned well owed them something, so why shouldn't they take his money? Especially when they all needed it so badly. Geesh, I don't get that! It wouldn't have meant they were easing his conscience! Who cares, you don't burn cheques for 18,000 pounds unless you're an idiot, which I guess she is!

HI Everyone. The atmosphere at Eastenders is lovely, as are the people who I am constantly learning from. The only bad thing I can think of is getting used to the change in my life but I'm loving every minute of it.
Thanks for everything GUYS!
