EastEnders is has a wealth of characters at its disposal, but there are some that seriously need sorting out.
The BBC soap has chopped through its cast in recent months and gotten rid of quite a lot of deadwood.
However there is yet that need addressing.
Callum
It was a toss up between Ben and Callum really but when it comes down to it Ben’s just more interesting.
Former hat-wearing soldier, Callum may have shrugged off the Halfway nickname (thankfully) but he’s just not that intriguing.
It’s time to give him smething else to do other than pining after Ben.
Whitney
Oh poor Whitney.
She’s been through so much over the years and yet nothing quite as bizarre as her current predicament living in an imprisoned murderer’s house with the mother of his children.
Let’s be honest – Whitney ran her course a long time ago.
There’s only so much trauma a character can take before it becomes unseemly.
They’re doing the right thing having her take a back seat at the moment, but maybe it’s time she took a trip away from the Square for a real break so she could be brought back refreshed.
Harvey
The entire Monroe family were never the most interesting characters..
His romance with Jean gave us a bit of light.
But he needs to do more or he needs to go.
Alfie
We know he’s only just come back but good lord it’s time for him to go.
On land or water, Alfie isn’t a welcome addition to EastEnders – not since his last few stints.
He is a bit of old Walford, that much is true, but so are the bins and we don’t need anymore storylines about those thank you very much.
The simple fact is that Alfie doesn’t fit in with anything anymore and his ‘enduring love’ with Kat is toxic.
He’s to move on and be updated. An Alfie for 2023, not the early noughties.
Billy
The weakling of the Mitchell family, Billy has never been a sparkling addition to the Square.
His romance with Honey has long run its course and he’s bounced between non-jobs and non-storylines for years.
Phil has the chance to rid himself of the runt of the litter and send him to prison.
But could granddaughter Lola’s impending death be the making of him?
Sonia
What does the Angel of Walford do exactly?
Pop up now and again to be judgemental towards Dotty, Janine or Martin despite the fact that she stole from Dot, has cheated on pretty much every partner she’s had and threw herself at her ex.

Poor Natalie Cassidy must be bored senseless.
She’s a legacy character – give her something meaty to do, please.
