Is Eastenders Heading For An Assisted Suicide Storyline For Stan Carter?
Danny Dyer, who plays Mick Carter, reportedly recently revealed the possibility.
I watch Eastenders, and I think the beginning of the storyline aired last night. Stan, who has terminal cancer, asked Mick and his daughter, Tina, to help him die when the time comes.
It remains to be seen how Eastenders will handle their coverage of the issue.
I have never agreed with assisted suicide personally, as regular readers will know.
Readers, I will say again what I said when Coronation Street explored this issue through Hayley Cropper this time last year.
I know the popularity of Eastenders. I like Timothy West, who plays Stan Carter, very much as an actor. I can only hope that Timothy West, and Eastenders, will cover the issue with the sensitivity it deserves. I would be very disappointed if such a popular programme, watched and loved by so many, was to cover such an important issue in a way that suggested that assisted suicide is the best, or only, option for severely disabled or terminally ill people.

Ee did it years ago. Dot helped Ethel die. Corrie copied EE.
