however his constant loving of the younger moons annoys me, i didnt like the tyler/whitney SL, kat/alfie permanently unhappy/lola baby/constant loving of derek (only want him in small doses

Only fair to start with the best and work my way down as he hasn't been all bad during his time as EP.
Best stories, Tanya's cancer, Lauren's binge drinking, Max and Tanya, Jack & Roxy, Janine, any story she has been involved in during BK's tenure has been good.
Charlie Brooks will always be the best actress of the younger generation IMO. Not sure who I would choose as best actor over the past 2 years, maybe Steve McFadden.
Underused characters, Kim and Heather. The latter needn't have been portrayed as the stereotypical fat woman. Heather at least deserved a decent exit storyline after being downtrodden for so long. More comedy scenes could be written for Kim if Easties could be bothered, she was hilarious in the wooden spoon/hostage scenes.
Worst character who has been totally spoiled under BK, Ben. There hasn't been a need to have him at the center of so many major storylines.
Worst exit, Pam St Clement, enough said.
Rocket562 Hit back at the Lauren's drinking storyline by saying:
How on earth can Laurens drunking be seen as a good storyline. Oh Laurens pissed again. How exciting! Not. - But GetMeOuttaHere Hit back saying: You've obviously failed to see the significance and links between Lauren's drinking and Tanya's cancer. Why do you think Lauren drinks the way she does?
Towers Said:
I like most of the new characters BK has introduced - Derek, Anthony, Ray, even new Ben - but he's seriously overused them since the new year ( not Ray ) seriously neglecting other characters that I like in the process including Christian, Syed, Kim and to a certain extent Janine - like Christian and Syed, she gets one or two decent episodes a month and that's it, hovering in the background the rest of the time.
I won't miss this aspect of Kirkwood's era, nor the higher-than-average feeling of violence and misery.

What he gave us:
Improved Janine's character no end and paired her with Michael who has also grown into a great character..can't wait for baby evil.
Cora + the development of Raine..hope she returns.
Love new Lauren and Ben as well as Lola.
It was good to have David Essex in the show, Eddie was a good character.
The B & B fire and Pat's demise were brilliant.
Like Mandy, although she seemed a strange match for Ian at first. Hope she's another one who stays around.
Having said all that it may take me a while to forgive him for Derek
There have been some things I haven't enjoyed and it's not been perfect but then it never has been.

For me the main failure of his tenure has been Kat and Alfie.They had years of being off/on in their first stint, so bringing them back for more of the same was lazy and depressing viewing. When they are happy and bouncing off each other they are great. Shane and Jessie have a great partnership, which is seen off-screen when interviewed etc... and I do believe people like seeing them together.
Character regression back into 'Kat the slapper' and 'Alfie the ever forgiving nice guy' just grates on the viewer. Sure add some conflict, perhaps have them tempted to stray, but stop with the one night stands and constant break ups. Just let them be happy.
What makes the above worse is that they're running the pub - the focal building within the Square where the majority of characters meet and interact. Having two miserable sods not talking to one another in the middle of that creates a cold, uninviting atmosphere. Having them united behind the bar with some humour would make one hell of a difference.
