Does it bother anyone that every Christmas there is always a death in Eastenders? No happy Christmases ever happen in Eastenders. And i think that's quite sad. 2006 - Pauline dies 2005 - Dennis dies (ok that was NY's eve but still.....) 2004 - Dennis Snr dies (was that Christmas???) but still it seems like every year someone has to die in the show. Why can't there be a happy ending at Christmas on Eastenders for once? Why can't someone get married, or have a baby or win the lottery or hook up with their long lost child or something? Sorry but i find that to kill some character off on Christmas every year is very disturbing.
