THE EASTENDERS CURRENT CAST RATE 2015

Hi guys.

In the light of MrJames's brilliant recent project polling our ratings of every current character of the show, I'm going to start the same thing; but this time, focusing on the actors and actresses. Acting is very subjective, and I'm sure we'll get some interesting results. It'll also be good to compare with the character scores, and see how much the quality of an actor/actress contributes to the popularity of their character.

It's following the same concept, so here are the rules, largely copy and pasted from the character rate thread. ;D

1: Score each of the actors/actresses listed below out of ten. Zero is the lowest, ten is the highest.
2: You are allowed ONE score of eleven.
3: Score them in the order that they're listed please.
4: Attach commentary to as many of the actors/actresses as you like. I'll include these in the countdowns.
5: PM me your scores and commentary.
6: The closing date for rates is 21st June 2015 at 20:00
7: The actors/actresses will have their average scores calculated, and then the countdown shall begin!

NOTE: You are scoring on your opinions of the quality of the ACTORS/ACTRESSES and not the characters. I have put the character that the actor/actress plays in brackets next to their name, for ease of access if necessary.

I think I may even be more up for this than I was for my own rate.

I think the difference is that I really can't work out who is going to end up at the top of this. Acting is so subjective, and there should be some great, contrasting opinions here!

One slight problem though - we seem to be missing a potential winner from the list:

Great idea, but it's going to be difficult as I think a lot of them are very similar in terms of acting ability. I think some good actors will end up near the bottom of my list.

If there's anything other than a Lacey/Lindsey top two something is seriously wrong. I can't see Letitia Dean being anywhere near the top ten.

You're wrong about the last sentence. Letitia Dean is an OK Actress, but she'll be somewhere around the top ten or five even if there are some stronger Actors/Actresses her in the show.

If she is then people will have voted on character again rather than acting.

Letitia Dean isn't the best actress but she's not the worst actress. She probably won't make it to the top 10 but people are allowed to pick any score about her acting talents...

Interesting because I always consider acting/performance as an integral part of a character.
I can imagine this poll will make a massive difference for Shirley/Linda Henry who is stuck in the most ungrateful phase of her character's 'development' (regression, really)

Exactly. I'm not a fan of Shirley but I will give Linda Henry a high score because she's a fantastic actress. I think Linda Henry will be in the top 5 and she deserves it.

Don't tell me I'm wrong. Who do you think you are? My opinion is just as valid as yours.

I think Letitia would be justified of making the top twenty. She doesn't have a scratch on the likes of Lindsey and Diane, but she knows what makes her character tick and she absolutely nails it when the moment is right.

I would give her a 10 as when she is good she has given me some of my favourite moments ever on the show. But she wont be making 11, that person is already decided. In fact got a good few 10s in mind.

Six scores in so far. I'd say we've got a bit of a surprise leader at the minute...

Hope to see some more scores soon!

I think Letitia being so OTT and camp works really well for the character of Sharon.

Exactly and when its emotional she can pull it off like scratching her own face for real when Dennis died. And the abuse story with Grant where it was very realistic and not the so obvious route like with Little Mo. But my 11 goes to a very special actor on the show who isn't my favourite character but the acting I love.
