Berridge quits 'EastEnders'

Louise Berridge has quit as executive producer of BBC soap EastEnders.

"I've loved every minute of my time on EastEnders," said Berridge, "but felt it the right time to move on to new challenges."

Her decision comes amid severe criticism of the soap's direction and a slump in ratings. In May, the BBC's continuing drama chief Mal Young was forced to issue a statement in support of Berridge, saying that she'd stay despite previous calls for her resignation.

Today, Young said: "This must be the toughest programme-making role on British TV. Louise has done a superb job, overseeing some of the most talked about telly moments of the last three years. It's a relentless job, both as manager and lead creative of over 200 hours of prime time drama, in a very public spotlight.

"There are not many people talented or resilient enough to handle this job, and Louise has proved herself one of the few. Without Louise, there'd be no Alfie Moon, no Dennis Watts.

"At a time of all channels losing audience share, she has helped EastEnders keep its share stable year on year. We're sorry to see her leave her current position, but pleased that she's staying on in BBC drama, as she will now be involved in a major new drama project."

Holby City executive producer Kathleen Hutchison will take over Berridge's position at the soap.

Fourteen 'EastEnders' stars to be axed?

Fourteen EastEnders stars are to be axed as part of Kathleen Hutchinson's plan to save the show, according to The Mirror.

Hutchinson has taken over Louise Berridge's position of executive producer for the show, following Berridge's decision to quit.

The newspaper claims that Hutchinson is planning to get rid of Wendy Richards (Pauline Fowler) and Leslie Grantham, who plays Dirty Den.

Other characters expected to be axed include most of the Ferreira family, including Ronny (Ray Panthaki), Adi (Ameet Chana), Ash (Raji James) and Kareena (Pooja Shah).

Tariq Larousi (Nabil Elouahabi), and Sasha Perkins (Jemma Walker) could also be facing the boot, joining Derek Harkinson (Ian Lavender), gangster Andy Hunter (Michael Higgs), and Phil Mitchell's wife Kate (Jill Halfpenny).

Rick "Minty" Peterson (Cliff Parisi), Jane Collins (Laurie Brett) and Nana Moon (Hilda Braid) will also be cleared out.

An insider on the show revealed, "There are a lot of worried faces around here at the moment.

"Everyone's feeling extremely vulnerable and paranoid that they're about to get the chop. The atmosphere's very tense."

However, old favourites Bianca Butcher (Patsy Palmer) and Kathy Mitchell (Gillian Taylforth) could soon be making a return to the show.

Hutchinson apparently wants to turn around the show's fortunes by Christmas.

The insider added, "She's determined to throw out anything she hates and have her ideas and storylines on screen by then.

"She has a reputation as being very good at getting her way.

"The writers and schedulers are gearing up for a lot more work very soon."

September 26, 2004
Letitia Dean will be starring as the Princess in the Birmingham Hippodrome's Christmas production, Jack & The Beanstalk. It will run from the 21st of December to mid January. This obviously means that Sharon Watts shall disappear from television screens for a while, but it doesn't mean Letitia is leaving. When she returned to Eastenders in 2001, a special clause was written into her £150,000 contract allowing her time off during the pantomime season should she need it.

New BBC soap to rival Corrie?



The BBC are planning a new Northern soap to rival Coronation Street, according to The Sun today.

The newspaper claims that the new soap could even replace EastEnders if it is successful.

A source told the newspaper, "We’re looking for a new soap based in the North.

"It won’t be launched with a view to immediately replace EastEnders, but if it’s a success who knows what will happen?"

The BBC apparently came up with the idea as plans were announced to relocate 1000 employees to Manchester.

"We need something really big 52 weeks a year," the BBC's drama boss, Jane Tranter, explained.

"I think the most important thing is to give a voice to an area. The way to do that is to film that area. Manchester boasts really fantastic writers, on-screen talent and locations.

"About four years ago we hadn’t got much in the North. Then we knocked on the door and started to do Linda Green and Cutting It.

"Now we plan to truly open the door."

'EastEnders' set for 'Sopranos'-style thugs?

A new breed of Sopranos-style gangsters are making their way to Albert Square, according to The Sun today.

The newspaper claims that the introduction of yet more cockney hardmen is the brainchild of new exec producer Kathleen Hutchison, who wants to better reflect "the real East End."

A source said: "Baddies like Andy Hunter look like pussycats compared to real-life ones who rule the East End. She wants to make them more scary."

If true, the move is a risky one for Hutchison: one of the key criticisms of the soap in recent months has been - somewhat ironically - its tendency towards "unrealistic" gangster storylines.

'EastEnders' star gets nightclub ban

EastEnders star Ray Panthaki has been banned from any further nightclub appearances after being attacked outside an Essex nightclub at the end of August, according to The People today.

Panthaki, who plays Ronny Ferreira on the show, can apparently make up to £60,000 a year by turning up at nightclubs to greet fans.

However, the soap's new executive producer, Kathleen Hutchinson, has told Panthaki not to turn up for any more club appearances.

Hutchinson is apparently concerned over the star's safety, and the disruption to filming which resulted from the attack.

Ray was left with a gash above his right eye after being attacked with a broken bottle outside the nightclub.

A source told the newspaper, "EastEnders had to re-arrange shooting for weeks because of the cut. You've got to feel sorry for him though. He was the innocent victim and now it's going to cost him around £60,000 a year."

Rumours suggest that the unpopular Ferreira family will be axed from the show once Hutchinson takes over Louise Berridge's role as executive producer.

The source added, "Ray knows he can't cut up rough over the ban as he's in the firing line."

Barbara Windsor hit by heart scare

EastEnders star Barbara Windsor has been hit by a heart scare, but has vowed to return to the BBC soap next year as planned.

The People reports today that Barbara has had tests for lipids - including cholesterol, which can clog artery walls, increasing the risk of heart trouble.

A source revealed, "Now she is waiting for the results. Like anyone she is anxious because anything to do with the heart can be serious.

"But she will cope and is confident that everything will be fine."

The source added, "Everyone is telling her not to get stressed until they know the results of the test. Babs won't let these things get her down and will still be going back to work in EastEnders on time."

quote:

Another piece of news to add to the woes of EastEnders bosses is that its flame-haired former star, Patsy Palmer, has turned down the chance to return to the soap that made her famous.



The show's producers were hoping that Patsy, 32, would jump at the chance to bring Bianca back to Walford. But unfortunately, it seems Patsy has caught the theatre bug, after her success in the West End play We Happy Few, which was met with great acclaim.

Patsy said, "EastEnders is a great job and I'll always be grateful, but I have three children. I like theatre because you work nights, so I can be with the kids more."

Her decision will be a blow for bosses on the soap, who want to bring back some of the show's more popular characters to boost flagging ratings.

quote:

EastEnders had been lurching from crisis to crisis lately, but with the arrival of a feisty ne Slater girl, things could be looking up', Stacey Slater, played by 16-year old Lacey Turner is the cousin of Ka1 Lynne, Zoe and Little Mo, and within days of turning up in the Square, she tries to seduce Lynne's husband, Garry. "I think people will love to hate her like they did Janine," says Lacey.



Another addition to the Slater family could be just the boost hat the troubled soap needs. Last month, the ratings were down to just 6.2 million and new boss Kathleen Hutchison is tackling the situation head on. She's scrapped the main Christmas storyline, which would have seen Zoe fall pregnant with Dennis Rickman's baby, and she's poised to wield the dreaded axe on several characters. Tipped for the chop are Kate Mitchell, Andy Hunter and, unsurprisingly, most of the Ferreira family.
