There have been some pretty epic deaths on EastEnders. Some felt earned, others broke viewers\u2019 hearts.<\/p>\n

But, is the soap killing off too many characters? Yes, according to an exclusive RadioTimes.com<\/a> poll.<\/p>\n

Out of the total voters, 71.5 per cent thought EastEnders should stop killing off characters, feeling that it was unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Only 28.5 per cent thought the soap shouldn\u2019t stop killing off its characters, saying that the plot needed it.<\/p>

\u201cThey should kill off the right characters in a way that reflects real life because that\u2019s ultimately what soaps are. Storylines like terminal illnesses or accidents. Seeing portrayals of grief can help certain people who watch it,\u201d one fan tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another added<\/a>: \u201cThere should be deaths but they kill the wrong characters. Chantelle comes across as a necessary one or Daniel in his cancer plot but the likes of R&R or Denny were completely wasted and their voids haven\u2019t been filled.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
