Dallas Escorts: Angry Christians slam BBC
HUNDREDS OF angry Christians have blasted the BBC over the storyline in long-running soap, Eastenders, which sees Pentecostal preacher Lucas Johnson turn into a crazed killer.
Viewers have complained that the plot is offensive to their faith, with others questioning whether the channel would air a similar storyline with a Muslim cleric.
They story has seen devout Lucas fail to help dying ex-wife Trina, strangle love rival Owen to death and most recently, murder his wife, Denise after confessing all transgressions to her.
A BBC spokesman has called the plot challenging but said: Theres no suggestion Lucas behaviour is connected to those of the Christian faith.
Soap chiefs had originally planned for him to kill a girl, but rewrote scripts last month after the real-life Bradford prostitute murders. They have defended the rest of the storyline.
