To be eligible a character had to be on the current characters section of the EE website/wikipedia (and definitely not a no show for 2011 - i.e. Stacey). I also added AUNT SAL and MERCY'S NAN (who aren't there but will blates pop up at some point), and Connor, who seemingly JUST WONT FLUSH. Oh and it would not be Eastenders without TRACY, hence her being there too.

It REALLY IS a CLASSIC CAST right now...
08 Bobby Beale
04 Ian Beale
08 Jane Beale - I have no idea why I like Jane. I think it's a combination of feeling sorry for her, whilst recognising that she has a little bit of evil in her.
06 Peter Beale - Weirdly likeable. I did like it the other week when he was trying to explain what he was studying at college to the resident Albert Square thickos and they all simultaneously rolled their eyes. YOU HOLD ON IN THERE, PETE!
05 Lucy Beale
04 Christian Clarke - It's a bit annoying that they seem to portray Christian as the alternative to Coronation St's Sean's screaming campery when Christian is another shit gay stereotype.
05 Abi Branning
08 Dot Branning
02 Jack Branning - What a DULL LUMP. Not even attractive.
05 Jim Branning
02 Lauren Branning
08 Max Branning - One of the few good, well-acted male characters on the show!
04 Ronnie Branning - I know she's going to be rated highly by quite a few but however much I like the Janus (WOMACK, WHATEVER), I can't bring myself to like this miserable bitch.
07 Tanya Branning - Better than Ronnie!
05 Bianca Butcher - Bit of a damp squib since her return.
09 Janine Butcher - Showing Corrie's Tracy Barlow how "CRAZY BITCH" should be done. The whole schtick could get old if she sticks around too long though. Needs a few more dimensions to her for the character to last.
-1 Liam Butcher - Ridiculously SHIT. Take your fucking cap off! Can't wait for the inevitable recast.
03 Ricky Butcher - Meh.
10 Pat Evans - She's still great, even if she is a bit pointless/a massive hypocrite. Was great when old PEGS was still about. Might go downhill now she's gone.
08 Carol Jackson - Sometimes almost too much of a cunt but i'm still a fan.
01 Connor the mildly offensive black yoof stereotype - Every time I see this guy, he reminds me of someone shit of Eastenders days-gone-by and I can't really tell who.
00 Morgan Jackson-King - Another pointless child of Bianca. I tend to think they added this wee one JUST to highlight the fact that Bianca CANNOT keep her legs closed. He serves no other purpose.
09 Ryan Malloy - Purely a vote.
04 Tiffany Dean - Not as cute or funny as everyone seems to think, but STILL better than ALL HER SIBLINGS.
-3 Whitney Dean - DULL as DISHWATER. When I didn't think she could get worse she started going out with Billie Jackson as well. Am VERY surprised by the previous high rates for her, but then again, I did miss out on her LANDMARK STORYLINE as it were.
09 Denise Johnson
07 Kim Fox
01 Jordan Johnson
10 Masood Ahmed - So very likeable. Love me a bit of Masood. Sometimes I even think I fancy him. (Don't worry, i'm off to the strange crushes thread now)
07 Syed Masood - Attractive but requires a personality.
13 Tamwar Masood
09 Zainab Masood
01 Kamil Masood
03 Ben Mitchell - Not seen enough of the new one.
01 Billy Mitchell - A WET FART of a character.
07 Glenda Mitchell - Lawl.
08 Phil Mitchell - Just for the CRACK SCENES.
06 Roxy Mitchell - I like Roxy a bit but her materialism and selfishness pisses me off a bit sometimes.
08 Aunt Sal
08 Alfie Moon
09 Kat Moon
00 Michael Moon - I've not seen it since this guy's been in it.
10 Tracey the Barmaid
02 Charlie Slater
09 Jean Slater - Bless her.
03 Big Mo Harris
05 Darren Miller
07 Fatboy - He got a lot less annoying! Especially since useless Leon and Zsa Zsa left.
00 Greg Jessop - Not seen this guy.
05 Heather Trott - In danger of turning into female version of Minty.
04 Jay Brown - Annoying little geezer.
04 Jodie Gold - THICK to the point where it annoys me.
06 Vanessa Gold - Has POTENTIAL.
01 Julie Perkins - We didn't need another Billy.
03 Mercy Olubunmi
06 Grace Olubunmi
08 Patrick Trueman - Semi useless and yet more welcome on the Square than so many other characters.
11 Shirley Carter - I really like Shirley. Very well-observed character.

A normal person must
Dismiss you with disgust
And weep for those who trusted you.
Why precisely is Peter Beale (NOW DEPARTED) in there when Stacey Branning (NOW DEPARTED) isn't?
06 Bobby Beale - he's good for a cute kid actor who pops up once in a blue moon but those giving EIGHTS need to CHECK THEMSELVES!
09 Ian Beale - has many facets from desperate pathetic loser to utterly hateful boss, stopping off at ridiculously stupid husband and father en route. And it makes great telly.
09 Jane Beale - you really do have to love a tryer and Jane ALWAYS tries - to be a mother, a wife, a tireless worker. And when most of the female middle cast is trim and glamourous it's nice to have somebody a tiny bit frumpy n' lumpy in there. She's like a less sociopathic version of my mother.
07 Peter Beale - i thought he became highly watchable over the course of this year and I really DO LIKE that there was somebody decent and concerned about the sheer level of immorality on the Square. But he won't leave a hole in the show.
07 Lucy Beale - i don't care what Moopy thinks, I always liked her and thought Melissa was very capable. I eagerly await the recast (if it's still happening).
05 Christian Clarke - excrutiating during his emotional scenes. He is truly a terrible actor AND has been tarred by the fact that all I can see when he is on screen is Johnny Patridge RAVING to the Dorothys' megamix on Over The Rainbow. The horror...
07 Abi Branning - has become thoroughly decent this year and has really benefitted from the addition of Darren into the Branning family dynamic.
10 Dot Branning - THE face of EastEnders. I really like her relationship with Fatboy.
07 Jack Branning - never did think he was especially awful. He's a pleasant enough supporting character.
00 Jim Branning - i feel bad but he's LESS than a spare part nowadays.
06 Lauren Branning - the new one on occasion makes for decent TV but mostly just walks around with a face like a slapped arse. But then she IS the daughter of Max I guess.
CINDY BEALE MEMORIAL SPECIAL (13) Max Branning - i don't even know how to put into words quite how much I love him. He is rarely predictable, always intense (I love how he invades everybody's personal space - you never know if he's going to twat somebody or lick them) and I never fail to feel for him when one of the many women in his life treats him like shit.
11 Ronnie Branning - i love her and I live for her. And I feel that she's just about to cement her status as the ultimate tragic heroine with this New Year storyline. Could she dethrone Sharon even? I'm not RULING IT OUT!
10 Tanya Branning - true QoL. FABULOUSLY bitter about Max and I'm certain she has self esteem issues because she does a LOT of comfort eating and binge drinking. I'd love to be her friend... or just BE HER.
09 Bianca Butcher - highly underrated. Patsy is great at emotional stuff and absolutely STOLE THE SHOW during the Tony/Whitney abuse reveal. Slightly underused since then but still a legend.
10 Janine Butcher - has returned to her status as the TRUE HBIC (Head Bitch In Charge) this year - PEAKING with stabbing herself in the name of revenge. Truly a sociopathic MESS and it makes the most fabulous telly.
00 Liam Butcher - can't stand. Utter LOSER. So is Ricky but at least Ricky managed to bag Bianca. All Liam will EVER be bagging is shopping at Lidl.
06 Ricky Butcher - very hard to get excited about but solidly dependable and he does have chemistry with his family unit.
10 Pat Evans - this year has been the year I've 'got' Pat. Previously I wasn't really sure why she was considered a legend but I absolutely love her now. And I LOVE how everybody goes to her for advice - WHY WOULD YOU?!
10 Carol Jackson - love. She's fitted in so effortlessly.
08 Connor - I am LITERALLY the only one but I actually really like him! He can act and he has chemistry with Carol. The story with Whitney was SHIT but that's not his fault.
04 Morgan Jackson-King - seems decent enough as the token 'cute' young child, even if Bobby Beale has that market sewn up already.
08 Ryan Malloy - there's SOMETHING about him. I'm not sure what it is given that he can barely act and isn't even my cup of tea in terms of sex appeal. And YET I don't get bored by him.
06 Tiffany Dean - cute! And showing slight signs of progression beyond just 'cute loud kid' recently.
05 Whitney Dean - she PEAKED early on, although I am beginning to wonder whether the Tony storyline was so well handled that it just made her SEEM like a stronger character/actress than she was. Now nothing but a whingebag.
09 Denise Johnson - such a STRONG personality. I wish she was given more to do.
08 Kim Fox - highly promising for a newcomer and I think she has potential beyond the comedy black whore with huge knockers.
FERREIRA (-3) Jordan Johnson - Monstrous. I hope he's gone for good.
09 Masood Ahmed - thoroughly likeable and a much more well rounded character since Syed arrived and he got the chance to show off his chops.
06 Syed Masood - personality free. Only scores 6 off the back of being a good character by association, since he's always by Christian's side.
08 Tamwar Masood - great at the comedy. Hopefully not far off being able to handle a decent storyline of his own without relying on Zainab muscling in.
10 Zainab Masood - a modern day icon. I think it's amazing that she's so likeable given that she's SO horrible.
00 Kamil Masood - why on Earth was he included in this rate?
07 Ben Mitchell - early impressions of the new one are STRONG. Hopefully he reaches his potential.
06 Billy Mitchell - poor Billy. Total loser of course but I do think he's reasonably well acted. I still laugh at the memory of his POST THIEF storyline earlier this year, which was SWIFTLY swept under the rug
09 Glenda Mitchell - future QOW surely. Literally the most frivolous, frothy character ever to grace the Square. Makes Chelsea look like a profound thinker.
09 Phil Mitchell - cornerstone of the show. I can't imagine it without him.
08 Roxy Mitchell - I like her but her motiviations always seem confused and she needs some serious characterization because she's beginning to feel like a spare part. Oh and she needs a MAN, PRONTO.
08 Aunt Sal - bitter as HELL. Fabulous!
07 Alfie Moon - overshadowed by Kat in every respect but still likeable and a nice means of bringing her down to Earth every now and then.
10 Kat Moon - lights up every scene. Has fitted in GLORIOUSLY which I wouldn't have thought likely six months back.
04 Michael Moon - during his short stint he was rather wooden, a bit pointless and nothing more than a plot device. Does he have to come back?
06 Tracey the Barmaid - CHECK YOURSELVES, TEN-GIVERS!
06 Charlie Slater - Well, at least he's not as boring as Alan Turner from Emmerdale.
09 Jean Slater - believable, sympathetic, stunningly acted. I just hope her return next year isn't a damp squid without Stacey to fuss over.
06 Big Mo Harris - at her best when taking insensitive bets on things in the middle of the market. I still live for the fact that she is GARY OLDMAN'S SISTER
08 Darren Miller - some serious LIFE has been injected into the character after pairing him up with Max. A genius decision.
07 Fatboy - Really beginning to make sense now. Must continue being paired with Dot.
03 Greg Jessop - pathetically wooden. Knowing that he's going to marry Queen Tanya makes me sick.
04 Heather Trott - RUBBISH!
07 Jay Brown - well acted although it's a mystery as to why he'd want to be a Mitchell.
08 Jodie Gold - I for one think she's really strong and well acted - showed another side to her character when she encouraged Vanessa to leave Harry.
10 Vanessa Gold - AMAZING. The hair, the suits, the hushed tones. She's one CLASSY BIRD.
06 Julie Perkins - decent enough but hard to get excited about.
03 Mercy Olubunmi - dull
06 Grace Olubunmi - humorous
08 Patrick Trueman - i really feel like more should be made of him. A very capable actor and likeable character.
10 Shirley Carter - total hurricane. Another latter day legend.
This thread is already UTTER GOLD
I'd give him ONE. WOOF.Originally Posted by TurnerPrize
A normal person must
Dismiss you with disgust
And weep for those who trusted you.
08 Bobby Beale - little warms my heart more than a Bobby Beale appearance
09 Ian Beale
07 Jane Beale
08 Peter Beale - i'll be VERY SAD if he's got a new head when he returns. He's become very good as a generic teenage boy.
00 Lucy Beale - the worst actress EVER. She makes Tracy Barlow look like DAME JUDI DENCH and is an absolute insult to Cindy's memory. Roll on the recast and return.
-3 Christian Clarke - RANCID. Just repulsive in every way, and John Partridge can't act for toffee. Christian shouldn't even be allowed to LOOK at Syed, let alone stick his cock up him.
06 Abi Branning - charmingly shit
10 Dot Branning
-1 Jack Branning
08 Jim Branning - . Though it's a bit wrong to say it, but the stroke probably did his character the WORLD of good
07 Lauren Branning
07 Max Branning
07 Ronnie Branning
07 Tanya Branning
08 Bianca Butcher
11 Janine Butcher - QoL
03 Liam Butcher
01 Ricky Butcher - just USELESS. I do quite enjoy how Sid Owen has ONE facial expression which he uses for EVERY emotion. And it's never apt.
10 Pat Evans - a cornerstone of the square. I love her recent relationship with Janine too
09 Carol Jackson - i'm so pleased she's back. She's one of the more believable people on the square actually.
02 Connor the black yoof stereotype - i do find him quite impressive in his weekly PANTS SCENES though, i must say. Everything else though = AWFUL
05 Morgan Jackson-King
08 Ryan Malloy
09 Tiffany Dean
05 Whitney Dean - i get the feeling they were aiming for a Stacey Slater 2, but it's not quite worked has it
08 Denise Johnson
09 Kim Fox - it's all a bit obvious, but i really do like it.
00 Jordan Johnson - PAINFUL
10 Masood Ahmed - i love him
10 Syed Masood - i really should have decreed that The Wrath of Peggy would fall on anyone giving him less than 10. He needs a haircut though. Almost as much as i need him to hold me.
10 Tamwar Masood - i love him
10 Zainab Masood - i love her
10 Kamil Masood - any Masood gets a TEN from me (not Shabnam)
06 Ben Mitchell - this would be higher if he was still played by that last catastrophe. YOU NEED SLAPPIN' DAAN
00 Billy Mitchell - he should never have lasted an episode, let alone TWELVE YEARS. Easily as bad as Gary and Minty (imo), and i can only assume he's still there because of his surname. And if that wasn't enough to save DANNY MITCHELL (with his sexy voice), it shouldn't be enough to save Billy.
10 Glenda Mitchell - she's gone from SHIT to SHIT & FABULOUS in the space of 12 months. I still can't unsee that tuft though.
08 Phil Mitchell - he'd be a 2, but the comedy crack addiction bumped him RIGHT up. He'd be a 13 if they'd had the courage to make him a full time crack head.
08 Roxy Mitchell - i'm still a bit angry at her for losing me a fiver by not killing her dad
10 Aunt Sal
08 Alfie Moon - i'm really pleasantly surprised by him. I despised him first time around.
10 Kat Moon - a worthy replacement for Peggy, imo
06 Michael Moon - i'd welcome a return, but only if he gets storylines outside of an obligatory Kat/Alfie love triangle.
10 Tracey the Barmaid - the Helen_S of Walford, ergo a 10
07 Charlie Slater
13 Jean Slater - a brilliant character, brilliant played and (mostly) brilliantly written. She fills me with JOY and SADNESS, often in the VERY SAME SCENE. Words can't quite do justice to how happy i was that she got the reprieve. SAUSAGE SURPRISE!
00 Big Mo Harris - the character's an 8, but if jark can mark her higher for being Gary Oldman's sister, i can mark her lower for being a SOURFACED CUNT-HAG who very nearly KILLED ME in the carpark of NEW CROSS SAINSBURY'S
06 Darren Miller
08 Fatboy - he's REALLY grown on me. It's a shame he's being used less now that he seemingly has more of a point (and potential as a sidekick to Dot or Mercy's nan), rather than earlier on in the year when he was like the main character nonstop for two months, and was pretty shit
04 Greg Jessop
09 Heather Trott
05 Jay Brown
05 Jodie Gold - my oppressed foreskin made me mark her down. BIGOT.
07 Vanessa Gold - JUST BE TANYA TURNER FOR FUCK'S SAKE
01 Julie Perkins - i really can't be doing with all her salt of the earth cockney sparra shit. And her saying "skidmark" all the time was just gross.
08 Mercy Olubunmi

00 Bobby Beale - Is this some kind of ghost child where I'm the only one not in on the joke? Because I know who he is, I just don't remember EVER seeing him more than once...so no score
07 Ian Beale
09 Jane Beale - though I wish the story about her originally being a man had been true, it seems so apt with her fabulously gruff voice
06 Peter Beale
07 Lucy Beale
-01 Christian Clarke - Fucking USELESS
07 Abi Branning
10 Dot Branning
00 Jack Branning - how does this thing keep winning awards?
05 Jim Branning - can you realistically rate him now? Thinking to before he was a pretty horrible character but believable enough.
06 Lauren Branning
07 Max Branning - I LIKE him but I'm not quite feeling the Max love. Maybe it's the whispering
08 Ronnie Branning - It's just endless whinge after breakdown after whinge, I find it all SO draining, BUT she plays it pretty perfectly and the storylines have been good if insane
07 Tanya Branning - Pretty standard these days but I'm sure she'll reach a new high once again
10 Bianca Butcher - I cannot fault her or her return actually, she's so bloody natural and likeable
11 Janine Butcher
00 Liam Butcher
00 Ricky Butcher - Unlike PATS PALM this one was best left in the pop toilet. Hasn't he been axed twice already? Third time lucky please. Acting aside he doesn't actually do anything in the show except wander around confused. I have actually just found myself watching the Good Thing Going video and finding it all terrifyingly similar to Olly Murs, as if the latter could be even less tolerable without making this connection
09 Pat Evans - It's DOWN from a ten I'm afraid - I don't really buy this Janine stuff. It just makes Pat seem a bit stupid even if she does care. After the Barry thing I don't believe she would have spoke to her again realistically, but I suppose it gives both characters a connection so I guess it's a moot point...anyway, she's great otherwise
08 Carol Jackson - this should be higher but fuck me are they going all out to make her pretty damn gross, dead kid excuse aside. As an actress she is a WONDER though
00 Connor the mildly offensive black yoof stereotype
00 Morgan Jackson-King
05 Ryan Malloy - pretty but yeah, limited
04 Tiffany Dean
07 Whitney Dean
09 Denise Johnson
09 Kim Fox
00 Jordan Johnson
09 Masood Ahmed
02 Syed Masood - An utter VOID to me. So the pairing of him and Christian makes pretty unpleasant, dreary viewing. I know he seems popular but I find him so insipid
10 Tamwar Masood
13 Zainab Masood - the best thing to happen to this show for YEARS. I want her as my mother even though she'd burn me. She's just so bloody perfect. And a great comedy and drama actress? YES PLEASE
00 Kamil Masood - as if
03 Ben Mitchell - for now, at least
00 Billy Mitchell - I get why he's there, but I don't like it
07 Glenda Mitchell - what exactly are we supposed to rate here? She's shit and seems a bit pointless, but it's compelling viewing. She's EXACTLY the same as she was in Emmerdale and I think it would be fitting if she ends up being inexplicably hit by a lorry here too, but not just yet
06 Phil Mitchell
02 Roxy Mitchell
10 Aunt Sal
04 Alfie Moon - yeah, he's better this time around, when years back he was one of my worst things about Eastenders when it was terrible, those were dark days. Still a bit crap though
10 Kat Moon
03 Michael Moon
08 Tracey the Barmaid
00 Charlie Slater - you can't even say he acts as a suitable "head of family" type figure that features regularly but never gets storylines because he barely is that, he's just dreary old Charlie, waiting on that next contract, and somehow, still with us
10 Jean Slater
08 Big Mo Harris - I assume she never gets big storylines because she can't act for toffee but for nonsense lines and joke stories she's good enough
05 Darren Miller - honestly I'd rather he went with the rest of his unwashed family, but I suppose there's some future value to be had, maybe
06 Fatboy
05 Greg Jessop - not because he's shit but it's impossible to say much so far isn't it? Actually that's bumped to a five, I find him pretty
09 Heather Trott - female Minty in the making is bang on but let's hope they stop that right in its tracks
00 Jay Brown
05 Jodie Gold
07 Vanessa Gold
-03 Julie Perkins - GO AWAY
07 Mercy Olubunmi
06 Grace Olubunmi
08 Patrick Trueman
10 Shirley Carter - but like Vanessa, I just wish it was YVONNE ATKINS back from the dead
I'll do a corrie circa 2004 rate.
11s for EVERYONE
hmmm now was I watching in 2004? Was that with KAREN?

00 Liam Butcher
04 Ricky Butcher - loveable, though the actor is useless
10 Pat Evans - queen of the hookers, princess of the night
09 Carol Jackson - jesus, there are a lot of strong women in EE aren't there?
03 Connor the mildly offensive black yoof stereotype
00 Morgan Jackson-King
10 Ryan Malloy - purely on sex appeal. i'm such a rubbish gei
08 Tiffany Dean - can out act half of the square
01 Whitney Dean - they should just kill her off now. too whiney/desperate
08 Denise Johnson

03 Syed Masood
08 Tamwar Masood - most underrated character 2008-2010
09 Zainab Masood - FABULOUS
00 Kamil Masood
-1 Ben Mitchell - didn't think he could get any worse than the whiney shit of 2006-early 2010 but somehow he has. fml.

11 Glenda Mitchell - THE MOST FABULOUS CHARACTER SINCE QUEEN TRACEY OF HEARTS! QOL! QOL! QOL!

10 Aunt Sal - GLORIOUS! her rant was the defining moment of 2010; heck not just 2010, my ENTIRE life

dido stanning so hard she's gunna exxplode!
Now that's what i call a first post.
That's QUITE a FIRST POST for who I assume to be the UMPTEENTH INCARNATION of Laqish.
Thankyou guys.
I just came here from the hell forum that is Buzzjack.
Loving moopy though <3
dido stanning so hard she's gunna exxplode!
Are you that one who got banned on Buzzjack for constantly spamming about Dido?
The content is all there, just the formatting needs some work.
02 Bobby Beale - I keep forgetting this child exists. Does he go to boarding school / nursery ?
07 Ian Beale - A great character but his sticking out stomach makes me feel decidedly sick whenever he's on screen. BREATH IN MAN
10 Jane Beale - PLays the downtrodden wife perfectly. The rushed Masood storyline recently was crap though
08 Peter Beale - Leaves after his first decent and believeable storyline.
00 Lucy Beale - Utterly dreadful and the whole Cyndi/mum wannabe act didnt work for me. Acting skills of a toilet brush
00 Christian Clarke - Just UGH. Why does he act as if he is in panto all the time? Vile.
08 Abi Branning - Aww, I think shes cute and the whole Darren obsession was quite amusing
10 Dot Branning - Brilliant - The lonely storyline needs to run, it makes me
03 Jack Branning - If he wasnt with Ronnie, he's be one of the most pointless characters ever.
03 Jim Branning - This would have been a 9 pre-stroke, and I know he cant help that and he does have a good use aiding Dots storyline at the moment, but COME ON, a few hand jestures and some grumbling does not a long term-character make.
00 Lauren Branning - Hated the old one, hate the new one even more. That fringe is HORRIFIC
09 Max Branning - Everyone loves a bit of Max - get back with Tanya please.
07 Ronnie Branning - Please give her at least ONE happy storyline
10 Tanya Branning - I LOVE Tanya. I cant explain why, she's just fabulous.
10 Bianca Butcher - I love how Bianca has turned out with her staunch family defending.
09 Janine Butcher - Not quiet at the heights back when she pushed OLD BAZZA off the cliff however. LOved her having Pat in her phone as FAT PAT
00 Liam Butcher - What school lets you wear a cap as part of the school uniform? Its not 1910
08 Ricky Butcher - A bit one dimensional, but I have a bit of a thing for our Ricky.
10 Pat Evans - Rancid fat old COW. Marvellous. Can she knock someone over drink driving again SOON.
09 Carol Jackson - Her shagging that young black gangstar makes me SICK however
00 Connor the mildly offensive black yoof stereotype - GROSS. Also, shave your stupid beard off
00 Morgan Jackson-King - I have nothing to say about this person. Is he the affro kid?
09 Ryan Malloy - I actually think he's quite a good actor, plus extra points for shirt-off scenes
00 Tiffany Dean - I cant stand this girl. Terrible acting, very whiney. Although I did like her scribbling Carol's face out of the photo album
05 Whitney Dean - She's got better since Billie left, but that wouldnt be hard.
10 Denise Johnson - I loved the Lucas storyline, Denise for great in it. She needs another good story soon.
09 Kim Fox - Fabulous one liners, but she is in danger of just being a bit part. I love her dancing though.
00 Jordan Johnson - GOOD RIDDANCE.
08 Masood Ahmed - I like MAsood, he's a very believeable character, although 2 points off for cheating on Zainab
06 Syed Masood - What has he done in the last few months. NOTHING THATS WHAT, well apart from getting his drink spiked by Roxy. But even that was crap.
08 Tamwar Masood - Just for his comedy face pulling and his website.
11 Zainab Masood - Brilliant in every way
00 Kamil Masood - ERM, WHO?!
01 Ben Mitchell - I cant tell where his eyes are looking when he's on screen and its very off putting.
05 Billy Mitchell - Not really a fan, although does the whole hopeless thing quite well. I did like his drunk passes at Carol though.
08 Glenda Mitchell - She's always be MAKEPEACE to me but I did love her rant at Phils party.
08 Phil Mitchell - Phil on crack 10, Phil not on crack 6, so 8.
09 Roxy Mitchell - I love Roxy, although I STILL dont understand how she blew 3 million. She only bought a Suzuki Jeep with a private number plate didnt she?
10 Aunt Sal - I hope she will still appear now Peggy is gone, even if it is just at Christmas dinner
06 Alfie Moon - MEH
10 Kat Moon - She's been fantastic since her return. The scenes with Jean this week were great.
06 Michael Moon - Just for reminding me how fit he was in This Life
10 Tracey the Barmaid - She holds the Queen Vic together, she really does. She must work 100 hours a week behind that bar.
05 Charlie Slater - Hasnt he gone yet? Hurry up
10 Jean Slater - Probably the only character that has made me cry on EE this year. Brilliant.
02 Big Mo Harris - 2 points for sometimes being funny. Garry Oldman must be highly embarrassed to have a sister that acts like that. On Come Dine With Me she was exactly the SAME.
06 Darren Miller - OK
004Fatboy - NOT OK. Although Im glad the gangsta sepak is dropping off, and he has some good scenes with Dot. They should expand on that
06 - Greg Jessop - Tanya's bloke? Hasnt really done much, but better than when he was on Dancing On Ice already
09 Heather Trott - I love her friendship with Shirley, its so unlikely yet so believeable.
00 Jay Brown - HIDEOUS
06 Jodie Gold - Meh
09 Vanessa Gold - After what 6 months, I still cant get Tanya FW out of my head, but thats no bad thing in my eyes. I love her comedy big hair.
00 Julie Perkins - Can she piss off already.
05 Mercy Olubunmi - Not eally doen much has she?
06 Grace Olubunmi - Is this the nan? She hasnt done much either, but 6 points for fabulous outfits
06 Patrick Trueman - I dont see he has anywhere to go now. Although I do like a bit of Patrick.
13 Shirley Carter - Just GREATNESS itself. Worst hair in soap history.
Oh yes, and can we have a Coronation St one please!
Hello Jack. Can you confirm if youz givin Fatboi the big oh oh, or oh four n tingz? You'z sorta put bofe down right now blud an itz jibbin on ma rate style.
Did Darren get circumcised in the end?
A normal person must
Dismiss you with disgust
And weep for those who trusted you.
He did I thought we were in for some big lecture off EE on how you don't change for anybody and then all of a sudden he goes and has it done
All children under the age of 10 get FUCK ALL from me.
00 Bobby Beale
09 Ian Beale - clearly the Ken Barlow of EE, but with the actual ability to sort of act. I love how he can flit from being protective father to spineless jellyfish to absolute CUNT all in the space of a 2 minute scene.
10 Jane Beale - although the I'm-going-to-leave-Ian-oh-no-I'm-not plot was SHITE
03 Peter Beale - his last episode was a ROCK ON moment, especially his complete assassination of Ian, but a shame we had to wait years for him to do anything of worth.
00 Lucy Beale - The love of the hopeless Melissa Suffield ranks amongst Jark's most bizarre worldly opinions, which says a lot. She was everything that he's slating Tracy Barlow for right now.
03 Christian Clarke - odious smug cunt who really doesn't deserve his happy ending. The sad thing is he started out so well - he was neither a camp stereotype nor a simpering angst-fest. Now he's both.
05 Abi Branning
09 Dot Branning - only Dot could pull off the loneliness storyline with such
04 Jack Branning - more appealing since he got shot and had to drop the wannabe-gangster routine.
00 Jim Branning - well what's there to say? I know it's terribly sad and God bless EE for keeping him on because I guess it IS a realistic situation for many. But there's really only so much entertainment you can get from watching an old man mumble and groan unintelligibly.
06 Lauren Branning - I'm not quite getting the hate for New Lesbo Lauren. She's INFINITELY better than the blank plank she replaced.
10 Max Branning - he really has become a MUCH more sympathetic character this year. I actually hope they keep him and Tanya away from each other, because certainly he's a much more appealing character when he's not screwing her over.
07 Ronnie Branning - Sam Womack is a decent actress no doubt, but the whole paying Sam off thing was a lowpoint.
02 Tanya Branning - she's a great character played by a great actress, but her return really has been an utter non-event so far. Sort it out, and get her back on the Square PRONTO.
09 Bianca Butcher
09 Janine Butcher - the beauty of Janine is that you could literally do ANYTHING with her, there are no boundaries. She will have a tough act following up her stabbing herself on Christmas Day. Delightfully deranged.
00 Liam Butcher
04 Ricky Butcher
09 Pat Evans
10 Carol Jackson - although if they continue the rather creepy I'm-shagging-my-would-be-surrogate-son plotline, she shall not remain a 10 for much longer. We need her to get back to being a joyless old cunt as soon as.
03 Connor the mildly offensive black yoof stereotype - great tits
00 Morgan Jackson-King
07 Ryan Malloy - although I can see him fast becoming irrelevant without Stacey or Janine
00 Tiffany Dean
05 Whitney Dean - a potentially great character played by a decent young actress but she really has been given some total SHIT this past year.
08 Denise Johnson - they need to fast work out a way of stopping her from being overshadowed by Kim
09 Kim Fox - they'll never be able to give her anything serious to do EVER, but she does what she does well.
00 Jordan Johnson
09 Masood Ahmed
06 Syed Masood - pretty but he's lost ALL his edge since he got with Christian. It's difficult to believe that when he first arrived on the scene he was looking like becoming Janine's partner in crime at one point. He's completely colourless now.
09 Tamwar Masood - the most underrated character on the show right now.
10 Zainab Masood
00 Kamil Masood
02 Ben Mitchell - just as I was beginning to appreciate the beauty of Phil Mitchell having a gay son who dresses up as Lady GaGa, they go and reset him!
07 Billy Mitchell
09 Glenda Mitchell - everything Suzy Branning almost was
10 Phil Mitchell
06 Roxy Mitchell - they need to actually decide on a character for her
08 Aunt Sal - I fear she will be somewhat lost without Peggy to bounce off
06 Alfie Moon - nowhere near as annoying as the internet gays would have you believe, nowhere near the saviour of EE everyone else would
07 Kat Moon
00 Michael Moon
13 Tracey the Barmaid - CLEARLY
02 Charlie Slater - true to form, the bumbling old fart certainly seems to be taking his time in leaving
10 Jean Slater - I actually preferred the Jean Christmas aftermath episodes more gripping than the Christmas Day eppy.
04 Big Mo Harris
05 Darren Miller - saved by the unlikely Max pairing
07 Fatboy
03 Greg Jessop
06 Heather Trott - I didn't think it could ever be so, but I'm now fed up with all the HEATHER LIKES FOOD gags strewn about every scene involving the Vic. They need to find something else for her to do, especially now she's been removed from Shirley's side
06 Jay Brown
03 Jodie Gold
07 Vanessa Gold
02 Julie Perkins - have a wash and drop the "skidmarks" business STAT
06 Mercy Olubunmi
07 Grace Olubunmi
06 Patrick Trueman
10 Shirley Carter

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The AARP has released a survey that finds voters at least 50 years of age are concerned about their health and financial future when it comes to Social Security and Medicare.
AARP members gathered at the Westcott Community Center in Syracuse Friday morning to hear the results of the survey and to see what they can do to help. The company polled registered voters who are at least 50 years old from the newly created 24th Congressional District and this is what they found.
Nearly 90 percent of the people polled say they collect Social Security, but only 14 percent say they are confident it will continue to be there for them and their children. 95 percent of respondents say Medicare is critical for seniors, but only 10 percent say they believe it will continue for future generations.
"This poll really shows that people are concerned about their future, they're concerned about the future of their children and they want these programs to be discussed and how they can be strengthened," said Bill Ferris, AARP State Legislator Representative.
AARP officials say the best way to help the future of Social Security and Medicare is to reach out to their Congressional candidates to voice their concerns, and to see where they stand on these important issues.

VLC media player is a multimedia player, framework, streamer, and encoder. It can play inputs like files, network streams, DVDs, audio CDs, Blu-Rays, capture devices, and screens. It can play most audio and video codecs and formats (MPEG 1/2/4, H264, VC-1, DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC, MKV, etc.), but can also be used to convert to different formats and/or send streams through the network.
MPlayer is a movie and animation player that supports a wide range of codecs and file formats, including MPEG 1/2/4, DivX 3/4/5, Windows Media 7/8/9, RealAudio/Video up to 9, Quicktime 5/6, and Vivo 1/2. It has many MMX/SSE(2)/3Dnow(Ex) optimized native audio and video codecs, but allows using XAnim's and RealPlayer's binary codec plugins, and Win32 codec DLLs. It has basic VCD/DVD playback functionality, including DVD subtitles, but supports many text-based subtitle formats too. For video output, nearly every existing interface is supported. It's also able to convert any supported files to raw/divx/mpeg4 AVI (pcm/mp3 audio), and even video grabbing from V4L devices.
xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available--and some of the most uncommon formats, too. All those features come in a reusable library (xine-lib) which can easily be embedded in your applications.
GeeXboX is a standalone media player Linux distribution, similar to MoviX. It's a small bootable CD that allows you to play your favorite video (DivX, XviD, H.264, MPEG 1/2, VCD, DVD, OggMedia, Windows Media, RealMedia, etc.) and audio (MP3, Audio CD, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, etc.) files. It also supports networking, and is able to play media from Windows/Samba share, NFS, UPnP A/V Media Servers, RTP/RTSP servers, or SHOUTcast. It supports TV-out, TV tuners, DVB cards, and WiFi cards. It is based on MPlayer, and can be used on any x86, x86_64, or PowerPC computer. It's easy to modify the source to build your own GeeXboX or use an alternative boot method.
Libquicktime is based on the quicktime4linux library with several enhancements. All 3rd-party libraries were removed from the sourcetree. Instead, the systemwide installed libraries are detected by the configure script. All original codecs were moved into dynamically loadable modules, and new codecs are in development. Special API extensions allow access to the codec registry and more convenient processing of audio and video data. Libquicktime comes with original utility programs and additional tools, like a command line player and a GTK configuration utility that can configure the parameters of all installed codecs. The configuration is stored in the home directory, and can be used by all libquicktime applications.

Bear-Baiting Is Un-IslamicIn rural areas of Pakistan, particularly in Punjab and Sindh, there is a phenomenon known as bear-baiting, in which trained dogs fight a defenseless bear who is tethered to a short rope. This blood sport exists solely for human "entertainment," yet it is a completely un-Islamic practice that is illegal in Pakistan, banned by the Qur'an, and condemned by the Muslim world. The bears who are used for this sport have their teeth and claws removed. Their teeth are crushed or extracted with a hammer, and their claws are plucked out. Not only does this deform a beautiful creature of Allah and cause torment merely for the excitement of humans, it also takes away all the bear's natural defenses. The bears cannot fight back, and the dogs are trained to attack. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) disapproved of forcing animals to fight against one another for sport. He prohibited "inciting animals against each other as people do with rams and cocks" (as reported of Ibn 'Abbas by Abu Dawud in the book of Jihad and Al-Tirmidhi). The Prophet (PBUH) also opposed mutilating animals and altering their natural appearance. He once found a donkey who had been branded in the face, and stated, "May Allah condemn the one who branded it" (Sahih Muslim). He disapproved of cutting off horses' tails and manes because this act was clearly "interfering with the natural beauty of the horse." (Abu Dawud). The Prophet (PBUH) did not approve of hurting animals needlessly and condemned those who did. Bear-baiting is an activity that takes place simply for the cheap entertainment of humans. The following excerpts are taken from Sunan An Nasai: The Prophet (PBUH) stated, "If someone kills a sparrow for sport, the sparrow will cry out on the Day of Judgment, 'O Lord! That person killed me in vain! He did not kill me for any useful purpose.'" The Prophet (PBUH) also stated, "Whoever kills a sparrow or anything bigger than that without a just cause, God will hold him accountable on the Day of Judgment." This hadith shows us that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) opposed the unnecessary imprisonment, torture, or killing of any animal. The Prophet (PBUH) stated, "Fear Allah in your treatment of animals" (Abu Dawud). Very often, as mentioned in hadith, kindness shown to animals is the deciding factor in a person's fate. "Allah's Apostle said, 'A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger.' Allah's Apostle further said, (Allah knows better) Allah said (to the woman), 'You neither fed it nor watered when you locked it up, nor did you set it free to eat the insects of the Earth'" (Bukhari). The bears who are used in this terrible ordeal are taken from their homes in the wild and raised in captivity to lead a life of torment. The Prophet (PBUH) stated, "Rights will be restored to those entitled to them on the Day of Resurrection, so much so that the sheep without horns will receive its reparations from the horned sheep" (Abu Dawud). There will be justice in the afterlife for the tormented bears. Surely, those who encourage and organize such activities will be punished in the afterlife. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stated, "There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human." (Saheeh Muslim and Saheeh Al-Bukhari). Please support the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) in helping to eradicate this terrible "sport."

Welcome to MOPGEL Official Website
MOPGEL was established from the idea that cultural and traditional practices denied the girl child, women and people with disabilities access to education and training. MOPGEL believes this manner is curtailing their ability to improve livelihoods, literacy and to make a better quality of life for themselves and their families.
To bridge this gap, MOPGEL works to empower individuals and communities to overcome poverty, hunger and disease, focusing on gender equality.
Gender equality
For us, it means that women and men have equal conditions for realizing
their full human rights and potential to contribute to national
political, economic, social and cultural development and benefit equally
from the results. Equality is essential for human development and peace.
For us, it allows both men and women to take control over their lives by
gaining skills, setting their own agendas and building self-confidence
and self-reliance. It also means that women have increased control over
their lives by acquiring a voice to challenge and overcome the
inequality they experience. We encourage you to work with us to move
this process forward.
Since independence, over 162 years ago, adequate effort is yet to be made in Liberia to address inequalities that women, children and disabled are confronted with as part of their everyday lives.
This is coupled with the lack of adequate vocational training centers, medical health centers and academic schools. To bridge this gap. After 14 years of civil unrest, MOPGEL believes effort must be made to setup development in these areas.
To do this, it is important to stimulate sustainable initiatives for this relatively new approach: improved academic schools, vocational training centers, medical health centers, advocacy, and monitoring systems are needed. Sufficient human resources must be allocated to this task and training is required to raise awareness.
Consequently, MOPGEL is leading a project title Linking Human Rights & Poverty, Empowering individuals and communities. This project seeks to link education, medical health care, sustainable agriculture, sustainable media initiatives and vocational training.

PREDATOR AND PREY: Killing prey fish can actually help predatory fish recover, counterintuitively.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

Read More »
Predators need prey. So, theoretically, brown trout (Salmo tutta) should thrive in lakes teeming with arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), a potential meal. Yet, brown trout, depleted by overfishing, remained scarce in northern Norway's Lake Takvatn even though fishing was halted and there were plenty of char for them to eat. Only when scientists removed 660,000 of the char (between 1984 and 1989) did brown trout once again rule the waters.
Ecologist Lennart Persson of Umeå University in Sweden and colleagues tracked the two fish populations through 2005 to determine how culling prey affects predators. At first glance, it would seem odd that the trout population would recover so quickly when its main food source was reduced by 80 percent.
But Persson says that the dwindling number of predators allowed the char to grow too big for the remaining brown trout to swallow—and, in fact, enabled the former prey to become competitors for other food sources such as insects. The brown trout needed small, quickly reproducing char to feed on in order to rebound, so killing off the bigger, more sluggish prey actually benefited the predator. "Before the thinning, the density of char was very high but the population consisted of slowly growing individuals with low fecundity," Persson says. "The predator, brown trout, increased 30 times in numbers following the char thinning."
Further, the brown trout were capable of sustaining this ideal condition for themselves; numbers of smaller char increased along with the numbers of their predator in subsequent years. "The predator causes an increase in its own resource—small prey—availability by eating on it," Persson says. Brown trout and char numbers have reached a new equilibrium that has been maintained for the past 15 years, the researchers report in Science.
Neither temperature nor nutrients in the lake changed during the study period and a nearby lake showed no similar recovery without the culling. Given the collapse of a wide variety of predatory fish worldwide due to similar overfishing, this new strategy might help promote recovery. "It may be more feasible to thin out the prey fish population than to stock with predatory fish," Persson says.
For example, collapsed cod stocks in the Baltic Sea might be saved if its prey, herring and sprat, were more widely fished, he says. And assigning individual quotas on the amount of fish anglers are allowed to catch, credited with fish recovery from New Zealand to Iceland, might prevent depleting populations in the first place, according to another report in Science. By combining such tradable quotas and selective fishing of prey species, there may be hope yet for restoring the bounty of both the ocean and freshwaters.

Sexual-Misconduct Policy is Faulted
May 12, 2006
Gettysburg College was told by a Philadelphia foundation that its policy was too broad.
The Philadelphia Inquirer
An impulsive hug could land a student in serious trouble at Gettysburg College, or at least that is the interpretation of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which yesterday challenged the school to change its "arbitrary and overbroad" sexual misconduct policy.
Most colleges have such policies, but Gettysburg's is unusual in identifying "physical contact of a lewd type such as brushing, touching, grabbing, pinching, patting, hugging and kissing" as violations.
Gettysburg also requires that verbal consent be given before engaging in sexual conduct, reminiscent of a policy at Antioch College in Ohio that became the butt of late-night television jokes in 1993. Antioch, though, did not bend to public pressure and its policy is intact.
"I understand that what these codes are trying to get at is the very real and very serious problem of sexual assault, but they're not doing the problem any favor by trivializing it in this way," said Greg Lukianoff, president of Philadelphia-based foundation.
"They need to come up with a sensible policy that doesn't make everyone on campus the equivalent of a rapist."
The foundation does not litigate, but it has had success convincing institutions to change certain policies by focusing public attention on them. The foundation most often goes after schools with policies that allegedly violate First Amendment rights, but the nonprofit organization also is concerned about due process in campus judicial proceedings.
Gettysburg officials seemed baffled by the foundation's objections yesterday, noting that few students have been punished under the policy.
"We just don't have the problems that they're implying one could have," dean of students Julie Ramsey said. "We're not criminalizing normal behavior. We don't have cases coming forward where students are saying she or he brushed by me."
If that did happen, Ramsey said, a disciplinary panel of administrators, professors and students would be able to identify frivolous complaints and dismiss them.
But Lukianoff rejected that argument.
"They're saying: 'Yes we know we've written a code so broad that people will violate on a daily basis but trust us we won't abuse it,' " he said.
Ramsey said the college would review the policy.
