What do you think about EastEnders? Is a sexual abuse story going too far? We'll broadcast a selection of texts.

Trudy, Luton: Sexual abuse is a sensitive subject but children who are victims will be able to see there is a way out for them. Ali, Llanelli

Text new 'Enders number 07797 801614, including name and town (25p per 160-char text, plus tariff. Used on merit), or e-mail eastenders@teletext.co.uk.

The Max/Jack/Tanya storyline is a true example of how selfish parents are and the kids suffer most. Playing one against the other. Adelie, Kent

Trudy, Luton: I agree with you, let's all stick our heads in the sand and we can all pretend child abuse does not exist. Get real, if handled well it could help a child avoid or escape that hell - how could that ever be wrong? Anneli, Herts


Sexual abuse, what next? Dementia, stabbing, bowel cancer? These happen in real life too. This is all about ratings and headlines. Viv, Eastbourne

EE hasn't even shown the episodes yet, they are working with people who help victims, give it a chance. Wayne, E'ter
