Storyline wise, everything has been covered. Nothing is new anymore, it's just the same merry go round of affairs, murders and "Who's the Daddy?" plots, just with interchangeable characters.And in terms of them covering real life issues, some of them have been so disconnected from reality for so long that when they do try and cover something current, it just feels shoehorned in. Like the recent storyline arc on EE where Denise was suddenly skint and eating out of bins and going down the food bank. They just don't do social issue plots well anymore because they're so caught up in resurrecting dead characters and explosive stunts.</blockquote>
