Rubbish Soap Family Alert



Could the Miller family in EastEnders prove to be even more pointless and unpopular than the SoapStar family in Emmerdale? It's not looking good so far. As well as being a total rip-off of the Battersbys, circa late-1990s, there just seems to be no way for them to integrate into Walford. Whose going to befriend a bunch of characters that have been designed to be as vile as possible? The Slaters and Ferreras already go around in their own little bubbles, only appearing in scenes with their own family members. The Millers are text book annoying family (dad's handy with his fists, the daughter's got a star name, they've got a dirrty dog, etc). Surely the producers are planning to give them some depth? Or will they just remain two-dimensial stereotypes like so many other Albert Square regulars?
