I would like to see a bulimia/anorexia storyline, a storyline that Dennis Jnr goes missing and he is kidnapped and later his body is found but the audience could know who did it and the characters don't, a gambling storyline and a bullying storyline for either Bobby or Ineta. I remember Brookside did two bullying storylines which were really good did anyone else see those bullying storylines.

Time Travel. Phil and Max could visit our ape ancestors, that would be a hoot.

I think gambling and anorexia storylines would be good; the only problem I can potentially see with an eating disorder storyline, is the fact that the actor would have to lose a LOT of weight for it to be believable.

We have already had a few gambling storylines though, the most recent being Madood and Ash.

When I saw that you were the most recent post, I just knew what it would entail.

Anorexia would be great as it's not really something that EastEnders have ever, properly taken on with a long-running, major character. Choosing a male character would make it even more perfect. Speaking of which, male prostitution would be great. In fact, I thought that would be a good way to introduce the Cokers' grandson... maybe Ben could use him?

I think I'd like EastEnders to sweep in there and do the first ever British soap slavery storyline. It's been a long time since EastEnders have done a 'first' so I'd like that... although lesbian domestic abuse was a first wasn't it? So I don't know what I'm talking about, clearly.

I then I have my two that I keep peddling out there. Firstly, a riot. Like, a full on riot. If it has pitch perfect storylines and characters fuelling it, then it will be great. Reaons that I have decided upon involve Nancy, a boyfriend, drugs, an overdose, Lee & Danny, a set-up and a police officer wrongfully killing someone. Make of that what you will.

And then secondly a Max long-lost daughter/incest-type story. Don't worry! I've planned it out in a way that it will work. But right now would actually be the per-fect time to do it as he's just lost Emma, he could have a full-on breakdown, made even worse by Jim's death, he could fall in love with someone else... oh shit, it's his long-lost daughter.

I also quite like the thought of 'The Wrong Mans' type story with someone like Billy and Alfie. I think that could be great. Two actors who completely by accident find themselves at the centre of this scam.

I like the idea of Kush coming from an abusive family, I like the idea of Denny or Lexi being abducted, Dean killing himself... I could sit and do this for hours.

No I like Mick, Linda, Nancy, Stan and LadyDi. Tina is ok but Shirley, Babe and Lee should all leave.

I disagree regarding Lee (as i still think we haven't seen enough to make that judgement yet) and Babe (i want the writers to do a story where she ends up turning into a Slitheen) but with Shirley (after Tuesday's episode) i totally agree-Just how much more prove does she need that Dean raped Linda! A serious case of karma should be heading Shirley's way if Dean is ever charged with rape and found guilty in a court.

moving back on topic i'd like to see one of the residents attempt time travel-there's something Eastenders hasn't done before

After thirty years, it is getting harder to find an original and compelling story that doesn't echo similar stories in the past... so many themes have already been dealt with or at least touched upon.

The slavery story MrJames mentioned would be good... it's a very real problem in society, and it's the sort of hard-hitting, gritty storyline EastEnders is usually good at.

Aleks Shirovs' sister Daniela, perhaps, who also came to the UK a couple of years ago, looking for work and a better future, but who ended up enslaved and abused by the family who hired her as an au pair. After she managed to escape with nothing but the clothes she was wearing, she ended up sleeping rough, and she's currently being exploited by a gang and forced to go begging on the streets with a drugged-up toddler in her arms. One day she's dropped off outside Walford East tube station, which is where Ineta spots her, but by the time she's got hold of her dad and convinced him to come and have a look, Daniela is nowhere to be seen... Will Ineta be able to convince Aleks she really did see her aunt? And will Aleks find himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he decides to track down his sister by contacting the au pair agency, where he's told Daniela quit her job over a year ago?

Mormon Girl it's great to see you post your opinions more, rather than just ask questions. Definitely agree with your Shirley post :)

Have EastEnders ever had a transgendered character? That could be interesting to see.

:D :D :D :D :D

They tried that, they are not Corrie, they couldn't pull it off. Corrie do the mundane and the normal every day stuff so well, something EastEnders finds hard to do. That is why Corrie is character led and EastEnders is Plot driven. Not a Criticism of either show. They are chalk and cheese. It works for both rather well.

A male rape storyline. These types of storylines have always involved women in Eastenders, and I think they should do further plots that explore these stories with male characters.

I think Dean would be the obvious choice for a male rape storyline. Perhaps the fellow convict who committed the vicious act shows up in Walford following his release. And Dean ends up murdering him.

Phil gets religious and considers joining a monastery.
Unlikely I suppose.
