Re: Eastenders
Why going with this why? They have actual lesbians on the show ffs
Re: Eastenders
Dunno why people are acting like if they didn't do this story, they'd devote time to the other wlw. You can want them to treat them better and still like for more wlw instead of het

Because no one cared about treatment of wlw characters before and now you're all up in arms with people rightfully criticising this choice made for shock value and shippers attention?Guest wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 06:00Dunno why people are acting like if they didn't do this story, they'd devote time to the other wlw.

Just saying
Just be honest and say no we don't fucking care about lesbian rep for lesbian characters we just want bi (het?) attractive women suddenly having a forbidden affair.
Re: Eastenders
I mean, yeah. I'm not going to watch this show for something good, after seeing what they've already done for years now, or vent yet again on TLC where nobody except other lesbians will be reading. There's a chance this one might be interesting and have some legs, if not, it's no better than I expected from this show.Guest wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 06:08Because no one cared about treatment of wlw characters before and now you're all up in arms with people rightfully criticising this choice made for shock value and shippers attention?Guest wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 06:00Dunno why people are acting like if they didn't do this story, they'd devote time to the other wlw.

New article. More insights into Suki’s feelings. The soap press sure is making a big deal out of this friendship ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's not a matter of being miserable, this is a lesbian forum. Did you enjoy the stories given to multiple lesbian characters on EE? Did you care? They god rid of Tina for what? She was a lesbian in this age group, wasn't she hot enough? Wasn't the story forbidden enough? Was she just too much of a lesbian to care?Guest wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 06:59x2 You all can keep popping your blood vessels over this and stay miserable if you want to ,,,but I really like these characters so I’ll enjoy this for as long as it lastsGuest wrote: ↑27 Aug 2021, 06:00Dunno why people are acting like if they didn't do this story, they'd devote time to the other wlw.

Re: Eastenders
I'm just bored if this type of storyline, if not one straight character then two straight characters suddenly being gay. It's the biggest cliche on soaps & it's only there to shock. Like being interested in women is shocking. For all the time people are accepting this it's going to constantly happen.
Sorry to be that downer of people enjoying this but if this is the representation you want & accept then by all means ship but personally I think we deserve better.

It's going to be trash, everyone knows that. This is going to be trash too. But for the few eps it might be something, people will enjoy attractive adult women together. Sue us.

Re: Eastenders
This could be a really great storyline for them, even if it’s short-lived. Honey having to deal with the fall out from cheating on Jay, and Suki having to deal with her family. Can you imagine Ash’s reaction? Lmao… Kheerat has also said some homophobic things to Ash in the past, so I can’t imagine he’ll react well. I feel like they might think Honey took advantage of her. Interesting stuff to work with here, hopefully they capitalize.
Re: Eastenders
The actress who plays Suki said it is a friendship in a Digital Spy interview. EE already has 3 lesbians, and 2 or 3 bi women. Who they mostly do nothing with.

I sort of agree with you. Maybe things will change as the storyline happens, but right now it doesn't feel like an organic storyline that makes sense for the characters.
I've not watched Eastenders much recently, but Honey at least I've never seen have even any hints with another woman.
Emmerdale 'changed' Vanessa's orientation when she got with Charity, but at least with her it felt more likely as we'd already seen her have feelings for another woman, even if all her relationships since had been with men. And Charity had already had at least one other female pairing.
This just feels like EE are again throwing stories at the wall to see what fits. There are already women in this who who they could be doing storylines for but they aren't. It just feels like pandering.

I wish it was anon but they wouldn't push this in the press if it was just a friendship. KO and Jon Sen are very predictable, she's played the same tricks for years and now that the boat is sinking she's come up with this. Robron, Kana, Ballum...rinse and repeat, we know her MO.
Re: Eastenders
The way all these "I'm not a bigot, I just don't see why everything has to be gay" homophobes well be validated if that's the case

Yea…this is definitely happening lmao Honey got into a stupid fight with Jay today and Suki couldn’t stop giving her heart eyes. Still not sure about Honey though.

I hate that it’s being framed this way. Is what Suki’s doing wrong? Sure. But is it bullying? I don’t think so. She’s just being an inflexible boss because she couldn’t stand being rejected. I don’t know where they’re going with this. I like their scenes, so I’m just hoping they can at least get back on good terms as friends.Guest wrote: ↑21 Sep 2021, 05:46Bullying? Fantastic
