I'm never in any kind of rush to see more teens on the programme as historically speaking I tend to abhor the cliche teen storylines and only like them as characters when they're involved in their own family dramas.

On that note, I do think it's very exciting to see our previous teenage generation grow up to become main-players. Abi and Lauren especially feel completely above and beyond some of the childish stuff they were getting up to two years and they now feel like top-tier characters.

For the sake of realism I would like to see EE invest in a few teen characters/talented young actors who are developed in a consistent way in a family context (Jay, Abi, Lauren are good examples).
I'd look for writers who are actually interested in young characters because the current team is clearly not up to the job. Rebecca is a shockingly superficial and unrealistic teen 'creation'.

Personally I've not been convinced by Rebecca / Denny / Amy or any of the kids shown, so it doesn't bother me that they are disappearing. Rebecca has failed as a character and Sharon doesn't need Denny to exist within the show.

As others have said elsewhere, many of the kids can reappear later on when they are young adults with different heads and can add real value to the show.

Have Dennis and Amy even met? In three years you'd think there'd be one scene of them walking to school together or sitting in the background painting.

Poor Rebecca wasn't even a part of all the drama involving her family and friends. How does she feel about that? Or her Dad having another baby?

Not especially. Janet is cute but doesn't bring anything to the programme really.

At The British Soap Awards and Inside Soap Awards they have the awards for best young performance so its best to use the younger cast so then they can show of their acting and be nominated for that award. Emmerdale have a young actress called Amelia Flanagan who plays April and she is 7 and she won 3 awards at 6 years old and they use her alot. Ellis Hollins who is in Hollyoaks won two awards when he was 6 and Eden Taylor Draper who plays Belle in Emmedale won two awards when she was 9. If those cast weren't used that much then they wouldn't have won those awards and got nominated. Maisie Smith won two awards.

If you were EP which young cast member who is a child/teen would you nominate for the British Soap Awards and Inside Soap Awards?

Lol. I'm sure it wouldn't be the end of the world if they couldn't nominate someone for a soap award!

I know it wouldn't but each soap normally picks a young cast member.
