25 years of crimes and deaths
Shock! Horror! There's been a murrrrrrrder on the Square. You don't say. EastEnders wouldn't be the same without sins and corruption - It's what grips us on the edge of our seats... and makes us shout at the TV screen (well, that and footie).
How many crimes and deaths can you think of over the years? 18? 28? 48?
Try a WHOPPING78 (and counting!)

What's your favourite crime or biggest death? What deadly moment gripped you?
See our fatal photo gallery of some of the greatest corrupt crimes and deaths from over the years. It's almost offensive.

I am in a bit of a dilema now though because I am on going on a weekend away with the in-laws on 19 Feb and they dont like Eastenders they like that stupid coronation street and I have to go on this weekend away because its to celebrate a birthday, what do you think I should do to try to pursade them to let me watch it, I am the biggest Eastenders fan afterall!

Don't you have a dvd-recorder?
And there is also the possibility to watch a missed episode on the internet.
But if you really wish to watch the episode of Friday the 19th on that day, you must think of a good argument. Why not compare it to an important soccermatch? Wouldn't that be a good argument?
And afterall what's the harm in watching the episode which only takes half an hour?

Favourite death; Well there are many indeed Nanna Moon, Dennis Rickman, Tiffany Mitchell, Danielle Jones. But mine is Pauline Fowler! The way she died was sad and dramatic as well.

At 01:42 1st Feb 2010, xiansheng_cee wrote:for me the one that springs to mind is the Eddie Royle murder, which was the first EE whodunnit murder storyline, with Nick Cotton, Grant Mitchell and Clyde Tavernier all in the frame for quite a few weeks. In those days there were only 2 episodes a week as well. The scene where Dot Cotton discovers Eddie's body and shrieks "murder!" is an iconic EastEnders soundbyte. For my money though, the best death was the Halloween house explosion that killed Trevor - Mo's insane, deranged and somewhat enstranged husband. It also doubles up as one of the best "doof doofs", where almost rescued, he says to fireman Tom: "live to see another day eh..." cue jerry can explosion and BOOM!!!

I will put a good arguement across because they like Doctor Who and if that was on that weekend I would have to sit through that for half an hour (yawn). I agree with the point you made it is only half an hour so if they dont let me watch it I will threaten to go home and ruin the weekend for them!
