What's happening in the Square this week?
Desperate to win over his daughter Alice's affections, Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) tells her that he's a changed man and is no longer a crook. But, when she finds out that he has been involved in more dodgy dealings, will their relationship survive?

cant stand the man turned off eastenders for that reason

I agree with the posts that he is an obnoxious individual, but then I guess there are people like him around, unfortunately.
My grievance, is Eastenders is sending out the wrong message in letting Ben get away with what he has done - surely,
sooner or later this has to be addressed. I personally can't stand the character, he is a useless actor, and always has
the same 'expression' on his face, whatever the story line? Please put him away for a long time!

this is crap this derek story the writer need to learn the law as most of what derek has done would have put him back in prison by now ex probation officers know

Derek is nothing like Den Watts. He is an unlikeable, obnoxious little man. No wonder his daughter walks away from him. Not a nice individual. x

moan, moan , moan, cry, cry, cry, shout, shout, shout, Give us a break

It will be very unfair if Phil (Ben's dad) is able to cover up Heather's murder. Infact it is doing my head that Ben is still moving about freely.

think they are holding out on ben to leave till christmas, they always lower the tone at christmas with depressing story lines, hopefully when ben goes we will have something to smile about. as for derek, well sooner he leaves the better.

also does anyone else think that alice looks like a police woman?
25/05/2012 20:55
He is the worst baddie i've seen for a long time. At least Phil is kind of convincing, Derek is like a pantomime gangster who steals kids lunch money. Not convincing at all! One headbutt and he'd be on the floor!

If people 'Don't Care' why are they commenting are they really that thick!
Hope their relationship does survive even though I'm not a fan of Derek

the fact that people despise him is only a sign of how well he has adapted to his character-as someone has said-he is, and was, a real life gangster-read his autobiography-he draws on real-life experience to add to his character, however unlikeable that makes him.
better than most of the so called "ACTORS" on there.

Get rid of this crap along with the licence fee and let the bbc fund itself by adverts and not government funding to a private company.

Cardboard actors, cardboard town ,cardboard script , All that crying is going to end up in a paper mashie disaster. Just as normal
22/05/2012 07:03
Who cares?
22/05/2012 07:11
hehe he is funny
22/05/2012 09:16
I think Alice is better off without her dad. Never liked his character as soon as he was introduced. Having been an avid Eastenders fan, I now don't care if I see the series or not!

Surprisingly Derek is turning out to be someone to feel sorry for in a way. At the beginning his character was really laughable and not to be taken seriously. Now he has become a lost character who only wants to be loved. The actor who plays him is always playing a hardened thug in other things.
