This is too important a topic not to have its own thread, and no ImanH, I wasn't cheating. Laughing

Great idea Faustino. Let's see if we can get this to compete with some of those really long threads on other forums (fora?).
I am wondering how many people will publicly admit they are fans of Eastenders? Or is it just me who is embarrassed, given the amount of ridicule I was subjected to by my family?
And is it only Brits - and Irish - who are into it, or does it have cross-cultural appeal?

A great number of Turkish teachers of English watch Eastenders. Personally, I feel there has been an underrepresentation (is that a word?) of London's Turkish population on the show. To my knowledge, there haven't been any Turkish inhabitants of the square since the legendary Osman brothers of the late 80s.

I didn't see it last night, so somebody please tell me who died!!! Question

What is the Turkish population of London?
Nobody died, yet. I think they must be saving it for the double bill tonight.
vre when did you stop watching?

I've missed a lot lately because I tend to work nights during the week but am not ambitious enough to settle down on a lovely sunday afternoon to watch the omnibus.

Who died, anyway?

(small aside: when I was living in Ireland a decade ago, I shared a house with the older brother of Sharon's boyfriend who died in the fire---I forget his name but he was quite adorable)

I haven't followed it so much since Steve Owen was killed off. I just don't find Andy Hunter to be as charismatic a nemesis.

You won't have to worry about Andy Hunter for too much longer.(or Den Shocked

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I can't believe you did that dmb.
Right, that's it.
War is declared. I will stalk you until I discover which football/cricket/rugby team you support (oh no I know that already from the men's thread) then I will find out when you have recorded a game and spent all day trying to avoid hearing the score and then I will tell you.
OK. I know that won't work but I will find some suitable retribution.
Dammit, dammit, dammit.

Sorry ImanH. I promise I won't tell you how it happens. But one of them is alot more exciting than the other one. If it is any consolation I do the same to my friends and inform them of upcoming plots Twisted Evil

I know Dirty Den was out of the show for a few months recently as the real life conduct of actor Lesley Grantham was deemed too embarassing for the BBC to put up with. I guess he's too much of a liability.

I don't know what he was getting up to, but I'm sure you could find out by visiting www.thesun.co.uk Twisted Evil

That is one of the sites I use to get upcoming plots.

inanilmaz DMBcim. I must confess that I've visited that site more than once, just to check the footy scandals!!!

ImanH - DMB supports Glasgow Rangers, and they sometimes show highlights on Eurosport at about midnight during the week sometime. Twisted Evil
