Wow, has it really been a year?
It's Children In Need night, which I had conveniently forgotten until ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
izzles said so. This time last year, Shane Richie (EastEnders' Alfie Moon) was releasing his charity single and performing it live during the show, with Jessie Wallace (Kat) doing a cameo 'playing' a saxophone, because it was a week after the Alfie-rescuing-her-from-marrying-Andy episodes, which I had to tape on the Thursday and Friday because of working... and was probably anticipating it far too much for my own good. There was a comment in the episode the Monday following as the song came on the radio in the Queen Vic and Kat said "No, leave it on, I love this song!" - a rare occurrence of self-aware irony.
That was a year ago. A year ago, we were all full of hope for Kat/Alfie. They married at Christmas. And now one year on, she's left him to sort her own issues out, and there are rumours of Little Mo - who is meant to be getting back with Billy - getting together with Alfie... which I don't really want to believe, though I wouldn't put it past them. Truth is, Jessie's off having a baby. Something happened to do with Kat and a baby, I think; I missed that bit of plot, somehow, but I suspect it may have been Andy's or something, but in any case, they're not writing Jessie's pregnancy into the show.
It just seems so strange that a year later everything's gone to Hell on what was potentially the only OTP to ever grace Albert Square (Sharon/Dennis aside, but that's another story) - I wonder if it was planned that way, or just a strange coincidence?
Yeah, I just did an entry about EastEnders in all seriousness and thought. Look, you give me another fandom, and I'll stop watching crappy television. :P

The whole "lets borrow money from Andy" thing was doomed to start with, and then the whole 'repayment' issue and Kat sleeping with him was just plain.. stupid on her part. I mean "Sleep with me and I'll cancel your debt" "OK, because Alfie won't question why you've stopped the debt at all after weeks of 'I'll kill ya!'..." and then after spiralling ever downwards with storylines getting worse and worse -____-;;
Tie that in with the Ferreras (or however you spell it) and their eviction-woes-that-nobody-cared-about and subsequent taxi firm. And all the while they were facing eviction, you were just screaming in your head at them all to..GO AND GETA JOB! There were four of them? and only one was actually working on the market stall.
And the BBC wonders why it's ratigs are falling?
Not that I'm bothered or anything *acts cool* ;D

And they killed off my other two OTPs of Sharon/Dennis (was I the only one wanting to poke Den with sharp objects during his pep talk to Dennis?) and Ash/that betting shop woman. Forgot her name, now.
Oh, and what's the what on Ian/Jane these days? One minute she was slapping him for kissing her and the next he was visiting her in her husband's hospital room. Not that I, er, desperately need to know, or anything. ;)
