EastEnders fans' fury over Danielle

Lauren Crace's character Danielle was
killed off in EastEnders

More than 41,000 devotees have voiced their fury in a series of on-line petitions, including EastEnders fan Vicky Cole, who has collected 7,000 signatures.

Vicky told The Sun: "People have waited for a year for Danielle and Ronnie to be reunited. We wanted to see how easy it would be for them to have a relationship, but as soon as they got together Danielle was killed."

However, executive producer Diederick Santer told the tabloid: "It's been incredible. It's fantastic to have made such an impact."

He went on: "I knew from the shiver I felt every time we talked about the story, my tension when I read the script, and my own feelings of devastation for Danielle and Ronnie when I watched the director's cut, that we were telling an incredibly emotional story and that the audience would have strong feelings about it."

    I also agree that they shouldn't have killed Danielle. And the strong feelings about the storyling aren't good ones, so how is it a good thing for the soap? The producers should want everyone happy about how things turn out. I also think this means that they have no intention to change anything!!
