E20 comin' at ya!
If you haven't heard the hype about the EastEnders' new online drama E20, where ya been? Let me guess... curled up in a blanket, clutching a mug of builders' tea and buried in chocolate wrappers.
What's the deal? Four street-wise teenagers hit Walford with a bang and move into the Square. Meet tomboy Zsa Zsa ("smurfette"), wheeler-deeler Fatboy ("innit, bruv"), Christian Mercy ("you're disrespecting my faith"), and pretty boy Leon ("don't touch the face")... they're about to shake up the Square and it's residents!

Wanna know what happens in the opener on Friday from 8.30pm? Read on my friends.
It's all action, action, action (with rockin' sountracks). In a nut:
Zainab bumps into Zsa Zsa, as she's being chased across the Square. Fatboy attempts to fleece Big Mo (nice try), and Masood has a strange meeting with Mercy and the wheeler deeler in the dark. The troubled foursome meet up and begin their journey, as they squat at 89b Albert Square. Shock horror.
Enjoy a tour around the set with the lovely Emer Kenny (Zsa Zsa) on Radio 1's website.
Wanna know even more? Tune in. Episode one airs on Friday, 8th Jan at 8.30pm. www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/e20/. It's epic.

There is a stark contrast in the acting, camera work, setting, lighting, and general feel to eastenders and this e20 episode, if they don't improve the style, predictability, and ease up on the need to "sex up" eastenders, i feel this charade will be shortlived, and any of my friends who like eastenders like it for what it is.. if they wanted hollyoaks or skins they would watch it. a word to the producers, dont jeprodise an ever popular primetime progam.

I mean it's not like E20 is on TV to rival or take over EE but it's a bit of fun a little spin off to show how far the EE journey has been. It ends on Jan 25th and you don't HAVE to watch it. Hope u get what I'm saying :).

I'd like to hope that after it's 12 episode run that it becomes popular enough for them to run a 20-30 min episode per weak along side the main soap. It's a very different take on eastenders, but with a good storyline and characters and it's good to see that it can occassionally crossover with the regular action. They'd be insane to stop this after 12 episodes, who can fault new young talent.

and i just have to say i dont think it is anything like skins or hollyoaks and to be honest im really interested in it. eastenders is great and i love the plots and storylines but e20 has just made it abit more exciting. i guess some people just dont like change but theres not much they can do about it. im all for it and cant wait for the next episode!!

I'd like to see more episodes made after the 12 listed as I believe this has the credentials to be a long running and successful show, whether they move it to television or not I dont really mind. If they do not make more episodes of E20 after the scheduled 12 then I think it would be a wise move to keep the characters in EastEnders. I like the characters, they are all well developed and they bring something new to the square. I like the style of the characters and admire how well they have been mixed considering the different backgrounds they all have. They are all definitely like a breath of fresh air that I would hate to see erased. Plus I think Zsa Zsa is pretty fit haha :) but seriously I think this could be really big and I certainly look forward to the up and coming episodes. Again I'd just like to recommend bringing these four characters in to the actual soap if there are going to be no more episodes of E20 made, I think they are great characters with potential for some great storylines. Keep up the good work :)

Theres only one thing that might get confusing people who watch Eastenders and may not have the internet. and cant use it or will not use the Internet to watch e20 it might confuse the people who just watch Eastenders I say BBC3 IT Willberz
