Picture gallery: w/c 19 April 2010
*Contrary to the byline, this Picture gallery is the work of Insider_Rob*
Amira may have baby blues, Jack's still out of whack and Masood's messed up after seeing his son in a new light.
This week's all about... babies, bullying, and a bit of doctor, ooh!
Monday 19 April:Ìý
Steeled with a kiss...
It's definitely a case of "doctor, ooh!" as Ronnie gets smoochie with the manly medic. Just don't stick your keys in his ear, dear!
Cake and heartache
There may be talk of a bun in the oven, but there's definitely cake on the table round at the Masoods'. What (or who?) will birthday boy Syed wish for when he blows out his candle?
You gotta have faith
AÌýconfused Masood heads to the mosque to talk things through with Imam Ali.
Café confrontation
Never mess with a Mitchell, or try to be smarter than a Carter! Phil and Shirl bother Ben's bully's dad in a feisty face-off with Tasha's pop, Joseph.
Ìý
Thursday 22 April
Mouth-to-mouth
Just when we thought Steele might just be what the doctor ordered, Ronnie's decided to get a second opinion - trying out the kiss of life with Jack. Nurse, the screens!
Testing times
Chelsea and Amira take pregnancy tests at Roxy's Salon. Presumably they're really hoping the results will be pink - if only to match the décor!
Friday 23 April
We are family
The gloves are off (well, actually they're still on, aren't they Zainab?) as the Masoods meet up. We just want to know what's in the box. Perhaps somebody should call Noel Edmonds?

Jack and Ronnie are such a beautiful couple and they should be together. This time the build up has been great.
I hope it's not Chelsea. It's a very repetitive storyline.

N why make chelsea preg with jack, he should be with ronnie, n christian should be with syed. Sorry but eastenders needs cheering up n 2 b made happy n not full of depression!! ?Christian n Syed and Ronnie n Jack........ great couples!

Showing somebody driving around in a battered ice cream van has to be THE most ridiculous storyline i have ever seen.
Ronnie is an emotional mess all the time,so god help poor Mr/Dr Steele.
I actually think he could be good for Ronnie.
Why the sudden obsession with the young characters on EE?
We just got rid of Kylie and her chavvy mates,only to be replaced with Fatboy and his impossible to understand language.We are going to need subtitles soon.
Read in news today that six characters are being axed and possibly more to come.
Minty is one of the best characters in the soap.I am glad Adam and Libby are going,but why Charlie Slater?
Are we going to get more characters like the awful Zsa Zsa,Leon and fatboy,not to mention the twisted and nasty Louise (what is the point of her character?)
She delights in seeing Ben being made a fool of in front of Phil.She is a dreadful character and as wooden as a puppet.
Was it appropriate to show Syed and Christian rolling around the floor in the flat at that time of night?
Of course Masood saw it was Syed with Christian,and next week is going to be great.
Thank god dreadful Danny Mitchell has been axed.
I used to love Eastenders,but i read the ratings last week dropped as low as 5.9 million with Emmerdale beating it for the first time in a long time.
Eastenders needs to stop concentrating on the Mitchells and young characters so much.
It's time Stacey was in it more.
Gary and Minty were great characters,but now both will be gone.
Keep the young chav element in the EE spin off online NOT on screen.
I have watched Eastenders since day one,but it does NOT deserve soap of the year this year,Sorry!

I think what will happen is just as Massod is going to confront Syed and Amira about what he witnessed (Chritian snogging Syed) and just as he is about to spill the beans....... Amira announces to everyone that she is pregnant. How about that for a Duff Duff ending.

At 22nd Sep 2010, imnotobsessed wrote:I have voted for Marc Elliott because he has given some stunning performances as Syed Masood.
Syed, Amira and Christian isn't a love triangle. Syed didn't love Amira, he knew he was gay but didn't want to admit that he was because he didn't want to face the consequences. Once, he realised that he did have feelings for Christian; he knew that he couldn't change them; he was in love with him. Amira was someone who he thought he could love, someone he could try and be with but couldn't.
He got married to Amira because of Zainab, Syed wouldn’t have entered in a sham marriage if it wasn't for Zainab, and she enforced him into marrying Amira. He knew the consequences that would be enforced on to his family, getting disowned from his community, isolated from his family. He was ready to deal with them but wasn't strong enough and didn't want to fail his mother.
He tried to live a happy life with Amira but couldn't. He didn't want to consummate his marriage. He knew that being with Amira was living a life of lies, a life of unhappiness, and a life where he couldn't be happy.
I thought, Marc has done some outstanding scenes, during the reveal, trying to commit suicide, de gaying himself. 2 of my favourite scenes, has to be when he broke down in front of Masood and Zainab. Where he tells his parents that he has tried to face his feelings but couldn’t stop falling in love with a man, Christian, he tried to repress the feelings but couldn’t stop them any longer. Another favourite scene of mine has to be when Syed is talking to Allan, how he has to try and help him get rid of these feelings, how he tried them on Christian but it doesn’t work, how he needs help, he begs him to help him. These 2 scenes have shown the outstanding performance of Marc Elliott. Where there have been many other scenes where he has done some outstanding performances.
Christian, Syed and Amira isn't a love triangle. It’s a storyline about Syed struggling with his sexuality, about him admitting to his family that he is gay, the consequences that come with his actions, the isolation from his family and community.
I have so much more to say but I don't want to bore you any longer.
