cant wait for the other "moon" to arrive who is matt lapinsaks playing as anthony moon
looks like a good week
but the massood storyline is getting boring also so i cant be bothered to watch soaps any more as they can help you with issues in real life and how to cope sometimes but some people just watch it for there whole life, i mean people who just watch it dont talk about it as much as live entaertainment.
im not tryin to be harsh or anything but eatenders needs to come up with more exiting storylines cos they just do similar disasters after disaster.
kulsuma : YaY Im 5th , WAIT THATS NOT GOOD
SORRY FOR TAKING UP SO MUCH SPACE
LOL
NOT REALLY

Imagine if Tam said to Afia that she should care for him and make him happy and that's her only job. People would say that is sexist.
And Yusef - gross - he asked Tam if he wants to be a man who puts his wife's wishes first, that's the kind of man to welcome into the family! How about Afia putting her husband's wishes first then?

He was however, being a bit of an idiot recently i.e. gambling for Phil Mitchell, not insuring the Argee Bhaji, being tempted by Jane etc... but Yusef puts all that into perspective as relatively insignificant compared to what he is capable of. I think Zainab is addicted to drama in her life, don't know how she would cope without it!!

First and foremost, what a warped portrayal of a Muslim family, please don't be influenced by the nonsensel!!! I'm Muslim, and come from a civil, educated, background, and follow Islam how it should be....
Secondly, all the story lines are dragging on...we need to see something fresh!
and finally, I love Cat & Alfie, they spice up the soap.
I also watched E20, the new parts need to start, refreshing to watch!!!

I hope Yusif gets kicked out by Zanib and Denise sees him for what he really is, a lower than shark poo man. Hope the Masood story picks up now...Zanib must be made to grovel for what she has put Mass through...

So glad that Masood has become a man at last though and punched Yusef!!! About time.

It`s about time someone senior at EE spoke to the iPlayer people about sorting this out. I never have this problem with other programmes dowloading on iPlayer.
BTW I love The Masoods! (apart from Afia as I presume she`s a Masood now)

He is not out to his family or friends. The story line is very realistic and true to life for those facing such issues of being gay in a Muslim culture. Seeing such a story line helps deal with these pressures and also helps gives confidence to those gay guys who happen to be from a Muslim background. Keep it running. It can help educate people as well.

At 24th Jun 2011, Ofcourse wrote:Afia had been out of order telling Tam to stop his dad from coming to the Mendhi - she said she';s scared of him but did she think Masod was going to beat her or her dad up there? Seriously!? Yes she should apologise to Tam and Masod. I know he ended up punching Yusef but that was only after Afia's aunt said he and Zainab were lovers! Now Zainab knows how it feels when someone says in public that you are having an affair. I agree with whoever said she should grovel to get Masod back!
@EastendersMegaFan2011 - you don't have to punch someone to be a man. What is this sexist rubbish where you have to be violent to show that you are a man?
Greg and Vanessa shouldn't get together - he's too good looking and young for her! lol Plus not really each other's type are they.

Every story line involves her with people, especially men, who claim they love her and she is naive enough to fall for anyone and anything. Shona is a great little actress but please let her grow up before we have to see the same story again. Perhaps she could have an epiphany and become a very powerful female character. I realize she is still young, but wanted to throw my opinion in.

At 25th Jun 2011, kzzrd wrote:Refering to Tony's comments - you are absolutely right! It is extremely beneficial to learn and understand some of the issues dealt with in the soaps like Eastenders and i applaud that Ö÷²¥´óÐã courageously continues to air a great deal of social issues bringing awareness in return.
Refering to Kohinoor's comments - whatever story the Masood family portrays in the soap , i view them as an Asian family and not as a Muslim family in particular. And most of the times,their portrayal as an Asian family are very,very realistic. Im truly aware this is just a soap , a drama in the TV....anything beneficial to understand and learn from their trials and tribulations the family faces i take them in and the rest , if they are not essential , i just leave them out.....Moral of the story Kohinoor - just chill ...It's only a soap...no sane person will assume like you did about Muslim families in general though i do know that every families in real life are not so perfect all the time......
