I was initially unsure of this as a GA, as I believed it was a bit too soon - however, the expansion that happened yesterday has made me reconsider that and I think with a few more sources it definitely can reach GA status. I also believe the characterisation is very strong and the reception shows good GNG :)

thank you!

Here are my initial comments for improvement:

1.) Lead - "Doddington grew up as a fan of the show, so was excited to be cast, with the announcement being released to press in early October 2024" - Can this be reworded/split into two sentences? I would also remove "Across her stint" and I suggest adding the actress' comment about Nicola's arrival before the "her storylines have included".

Done FishLoveHam (talk) 18:58, 18 December 2024 (UTC) What comment?[reply]

2.) Storylines - Same with Teddy's article, I believe that they should be below "Development" as the development (especially casting and characterisation) occurs first chronologically.

I would also replace "tipped off" with "finding out"/"told" as some readers may not know what that means.

3.) Development -

A.) "Set to debut in late Autumn 2024" - Think this could be removed.

B.) "The character went on to make her first appearance in episode 7011, broadcast on 11 November 2024" - This could be made more concise.

Not done How? FishLoveHam (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will shorten it. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

C.) "one step ahead [of]" Teddy" - could be changed to "one step ahead" of Teddy.

4.) Reception - the final paragraph is quite short, could the above paragraph (which is quite long) be split and merged with it?

Done The first paragraph was intended to talk about her introduction, with the rest to be for everything else. I've merged them and they can be split once more reception comes out. FishLoveHam (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

5.) "See also" section - I would get rid of "List of EastEnders characters (2024)" - it serves no purpose to the reader.

Done Disagree since every other article uses it, but I'm okay to cut it. FishLoveHam (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I recommended removing it because it is mostly EE character articles that include it without consensus - other soap articles do not - and it does not provide any more information to the reader.DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

6.) Can an image be included? A good idea would be Letitia Dean due to Nicola's rivalry with Sharon.

Not done Images aren't required and I feel like an image of Letitia Dean would feel a bit jarring without a section dedicated to Nicola and Sharon's relationship. FishLoveHam (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That is okay for now, but I think once the article is expanded it could do with a few more. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

7.) Same with Teddy's article, I think this page could do with more sources and expansion. More information could be added (e.g. collaborating with Ravi). I am happy to send you some offline sources I found if that helps? Not done See Teddy Mitchell, but in short this passes WP:GNG and doesn't miss out major stuff.

Once these have been addressed please ping me and I will do a full review :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:53, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Thanks so much for the review! FishLoveHam (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- - @FishLoveHam: Thank you for replying very quickly and addressing most of the points. There are a couple of sentences that can be tweaked but as this does not miss any major info, I will pass it. Well done! :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
