This week on EastEnders: Suspicious minds...
Christian, Syed, Amira: The truth came out!
Gor blimey, guv. We love a bit of drama as much as the next person, but we're not sure we're strong enough for this level of heartache - Syed outs himself, then leaves distraught (where's he gone? A number of Team Syed claim he's been round theirs' doing naughty things. Behind Christian's back!? Surely not...); Amira gone, but not forgotten, especially by Team Amira who are mourning her departure in full force; and Christian beaten up by Qadim and his henchmen, with Team Christian struggling to fit in a cab bound for Walford to protect Mr Clarke. And now Mas has found out that Zainab knew all along. What next - are we going to have to set up Team Masood and Team Zee!?
Meanwhile, if you wish Monday's episode had ended differently... rewrite the script!
Cheating, cheating and more cheating...
But it's not just Chryed/Symira who have been dabbling with illicit dalliances. Peggy and Pat were seduced by hoodwinking hack, Harvey this week. Running around "like two soppy schoolgirls" as Dot put it. It's not the first time that they chased the same man (Frank Butcher, anybody?). Frankly, where two seasoned fighters like Peggy and Pat are concerned, Harvey's lucky to have made it out of the Vic alive, once they found out. 
Or... a game of pool full of awkward silences, as Phil faced his fear that Ben's disinterest in bare-knuckle fighting, greyhound racing and other manly pursuits might be indicative of his sexual persuasion. Phil practically deflated with relief when Ben revealed that he's hot on a young lady at school. Little does Phil know, though, that Ben's also beginning to bully little Louise...Quote of the week
Mo on Stacey - Her ankles are swollen up like the elephant man's. it's not a pretty sight. Eh!? Aren't women supposed to 'bloom' in pregnancy?

I think Zainab's done and said a lot of troubling things, but I still think she's a great character. Nina Wadia's amazing. Scary Ben though! Stella may be gone, but she's not forgotten...

As a gay man myself of 70 I remember only too clearly what it was like to be gay in the bigotted society that was Britain then. Christian has said that he doesn't want the police involved. Surely he must realise that, if those thugs catch up with Syed whom he is supposed to love, they will kill him. Come on script writers get this right and don't ruin the story. I just hope that Syed has not already killed himself. By the way Marc Elliot, who I understand is not gay, has turned in a wonderful performance of a guy who is caught between his feelings and the beliefs of his family (I would like to describe those beliefs in stronger terms but you may not allow them to be shown here such is the "political correctness" of the age.)

Besides they are dead boring and have too much airtime, Eastenders is a long running well respected soap opera for crying out loud STOP RUINING IT!

Duncan, do you mean that your comments would be regarded as Islamophobic? Well, I'm sure that some people here would like to air their views on homosexuality but cannot do so because of the "political correctness" of this age. I'm sure you are not against this sort of "political correctness" which stops people making comments that may be considered by some as homophobic and may be offensive to you.

Why has she become so tight.
Allowing her cousin Billy Mitchel to have no money and now has got three kid's to surpport, Ronnie is going through hell with loads of debts,
And after having lost the Money because of Sam Mitchel.
Roxy was always that kind of girl who had a big heart.
Well not anymore.

He is not Masood's son after all but the son of the dude who molested his mother on occasion. the ?brother-in-law? I think he is. wotch this space! No mother could ever despise her son the ways she does Syed. it has nothing to do with his sexual preferences. why else does she hate him as she does. it is solely because he reminds her of that time in her life ... when she was abused by the other man.
