摘要

这篇文章关注的是《东区人》的粉丝们对故事情节“the Six”的反应,故事情节始于2023年2月播出的一集,涉及六个女性角色在当地的维克女王酒吧面对一具尸体。该公司认为,《六人组》可以被解读为一种“事件电视”形式,它强调了该剧在肥皂剧类型中创新的尝试,建立了一个粉丝可以尝试“破解”的核心叙事谜题,并使粉丝能够保持对剧集角色的现有依恋。因此,本文认为这提供了一种“法医粉丝”的形式,它带来了阅读模式,比如在剧集中寻找证据,在文本材料中寻找证据,以及更常见的与肥皂剧类型相关的人物和关系的阅读。

Solving ‘The Six’: EastEnders , convergence culture, and ‘forensic fandom’
This article focuses on EastEnders ’ fan responses to the storyline known as ‘The Six’, which began with a flash-forward in an episode aired in February 2023 and involves six female characters faced with a dead body in the local pub, The Queen Vic. It argues that ‘The Six’ can be read as a form of ‘event television’ which highlights the show’s attempts to innovate within the soap genre, to set up a core narrative enigma which fans could attempt to ‘work out’, and to enable fans to maintain existing attachments to the series’ characters. The article thus considers how this offered a form of ‘forensic fandom’ that brought reading modes such as looking for evidence within episodes and in paratextual materials together with the readings of characters and relationships more commonly associated with the genre of soap opera.
