I`ve got one eye on Eastenders while waiting for dinner. I don`t really follow it these days. What a load of rubbish! That guy who plays the landlord at the Vic is supposed to be quite a sucessful actor but he`s absolutely dreadful and so is his wife. They seem to have a different person write each episode so there is no consistency. How difficult is it to write a decent soap - Coronation Street seems to manage it.
If by successful you mean Danny Dyer has been in a load of straight to DVD movies in which he plays the same character every time, then yes, he is successful.
