Kill Mick off! If he wants to go let him go! Don’t see why these actors should hold shows to ransom! He’s only where he is because of EE putting him in the limelight.

true he was failing in the void before EE and I'm sure he made some weird demands being in all episodes (at the beginning). I do like Danny Dyer but he's not bigger than a show and no one is. Eastenders need a shake up its so dire

If you still like EE but are bored of current storylines like I am, you guys should join me in watching the 2008 episodes on iPlayer! It’s so juicy 🤣 I was too young back then to clock what was really going on so it’s nice to watch now I’m an adult

Same here I was young back then when Eastenders was on to understand, but now I’m an adult it’s nice to look back and understand the storylines. I mean it’s so dry at the moment I’d rather watch my washing machine wash my clothes 😆

You two wet behind the ears youngsters are far younger than me as I was very much an adult in 2008/9 but I’m enjoying watching those episodes again

I’m very much up to date on those repeats and have watched the ones uploaded this week from the week commencing 19/10/09. They contain one of my favourite scenes from that year in the episode on the 20/10/09
when Pat & Peggy get drunk in the ice cream van and Peggy drunk dials Phil

I looked it up too, after being told to educate myself over a comment I made a few weeks ago - fair play, but it states alcohol is forbidden. Sex outside of marriage is frowned upon. Marriage is expected and a non-Sikh must convert if they marry a practising Sikh. Furthermore, why does only one brother wear a turban? I know it’s not required, but they showed themselves to be very traditional when Jag’s died, so it’s confusing. The way the family are portrayed doesn’t tell us anything about the religion, but it’s our fault for being ignorant!

I think it’s personal preference, also I come from a family who are majority Muslim (I’m not) , and everyone practises their religion differently. Everyone has different levels of belief. I believe it’s the same with the panesars, they’re showing that religion isn’t just a set thing. It’s personal to every person. I’ve known Sikh people in real life who don’t wear turbans and who drink but still take part in things because it’s part of their family/culture and I relate to that. I think actually their representation of a Sikh family is really realistic

So basically it’s just as lapsed as any other religion where certain practices aren’t meant to happen! 🤣

Eastenders 2009 is amazing, what I’d do for eastenders to be like that again, it had the right amount of everything and I genuinely find myself laughing at some scenes, now I just watch Ee with a blank face and mostly looking up from my phone. Such a shame

Completely agree with this. I am so bored of the current eps. Totally unbelievable. I like all the naughtiness and excitement of the 2009 eps.

Every religion has peopl in it who follow it differently, everyone’s human no ones perfect🤷🏽‍♀️

Really unimpressed with Dana, just feels like they’ve made her ignorant on purpos!! She already knows what her brother is like. She’s literally heard him say things about Bobby and she knows he’s pig headed but now suddenly she thinks he’s a nice guy? What is going on, feel so bad for Bobby

Yes I'm finding Dana irritating too. She must know that her brother has some dodgy views by now but I guess she doesn't want to believe the worst about him.

She’s getting on my nerves too She does know what Aaron is like, but I guess with him being her family she doesn’t want to believe that he is a bad guy so is maybe blocking it out. I feel sorry for Bobby it’s like he is constantly in the wrong, I wouldn’t be surprised if he won’t be able to take it anymore.

I wish I could like Bobby but I just can't stand him.

I know that I should feel sorry for a vulnerable young man with OCD who is desperate to do the right thing after murdering his sister and crippling his loving step-mum but nah
