As a "Good Muslim" he would know that homosexuality is a sin. How do you think that made him feel?

As a Good Muslim he would know that homosexual sex was a sin, even though he did it before he met Christian. Homosexual feelings ( which are beyond his control) would not be a sin.

I suspect that many muslims in his situation opt for celibacy.

You can't have your cake and eat it. IMO his choices were to be a celibate muslim or to leave the square with Christian and have a secular lifestyle.

Zainab, Syed, Mas and Amira are all at fault WAs Amira at fault for allowing herself to be deceived?

Very disappointed and shocked at Max and Jack tonight helping out their so called hard man brother Derek yet he needed his two back ups to help him take on David and poor Carol lost her true love gone and got a smack from her brother

Presumably you are not a gay Muslim though?

sarah c

14-01-2012, 08:59

I guess we will never know what would have happened if he had been honest from the start but the whole storyline was about been gay and a muslim and the conflicts and disgrace it brings... It surprised me the reaction that his family gave him considering at one stage when Tam was doing standup, his mother joked about him been gay like she accepted that... I think as Syed was the first born,he had more to live up to.

I dont think this was Zanaib accepting it, I think a frequent reaction to people/parents when they suspect someone might be gay is to make light of it in the hope of getting the big 'how very dare you' denial...?

sarah c

14-01-2012, 09:01

You can't have your cake and eat it. IMO his choices were to be a celibate muslim or to leave the square with Christian and have a secular lifestyle.

I think this should read his choices should have been....when you are faced with the third choice of staying deep in the closet and doing your best to pretend to be 'normal' wouldnt most people take the easiest option?

Dazzle

14-01-2012, 13:43

Poor Carol :( I really felt for her at the end of last night's episode.

It was lovely to see Simon at his mum's grave, even though it was only for a moment.

I'm sorry to see David go - Michael French has brought a bit of class to EE this last couple of weeks.

I don't think that people in a soap have this choice as if they did, even the viewers wouldn't know about them.

Michael French has brought a bit of class to EE this last couple of weeks. He certainly did. However, he's so good, he's a bit out of place in EE. David does love Carol but in the end he couldn't take her away from her family.

Dazzle

Derek is such a sorry character. I do not like bullies. He has no right in interfering with Carol's life. Even when he hates David.

yes it was Janet that Pat cited, but why her and not Billy's son?

He might be working behind the camera rather than in front, so he might be very busy. But I agree, I would have liked to have seen him there for a bit longer

Not a good epsiode.
We had Alfie Moon prancing about and shouting his usual gibberish
We had Dangerous Derek apologising to Carol and asking for forgiveness. I thought she was going to burst out laughing at him.
Then we had Thick Ricky giving us a giant size portion of his gormless looks.
It appears that him being dumped is Carol's idea. Bianca's reasons for dumping him are rather silly. If she had dumped him immediately she found out about Mandy I could have understood it.
The Police have not given Ben any good reason to inform on his father.

So Lauren shouldn't have dropped out of school, coming from the girl who cheated in her exams...

I read something that Sid Owen (Ricky) is now having the rest of his break, as he was brought back in prematurely to tie things up with Pat leaving. I wondered if the reason for the Julia's theme was because Ricky and Bianca split up in the episode as well, as it became clear that she hadn't just said it was over in the heat of the moment the other night.

I have to say I'm not really understanding Inspector Mars Bar's investigation. Does she not have written evidence that Phil was involved in the car lot fire that killed the tramp? Why does she not use this to arrest Phil? The evidence as regards Stella is tenuous to say the least and the CCTV film is unequivocal that he did NOT push her. Ben's evidence is second hand and any lawyer would rip it to shreds. Why not get him for the murder she has more substantial proof for?

Agree ,and there certainly wouldn't be enough evidence for a court to remand him in custody for the Stella incident.

DI Marsden or Mars Bar is like a stalker She threw some money away but it wasn't hers

Of course it's second hand. It's Ben telling the police what Phil told him. That's the definition of second hand. It's not Phil telling the police what he did. That would be first hand.
Anything said by the accused to a witness is not hearsay evidence. If Ben gave evidence in court, anything that he reported that Phil had said to him would not be second hand and it would be admissable.

It would be second hand and hearsay evidence if the Police reported what Ben told them.

parkerman

20-01-2012, 16:14

we are talking heresay are we not here? which is not admissable in Court, or I might be wrong...

It is hearsay but confessions to a third party are allowed in court under certain circumstances. One of these is to corroborate other evidence, which in this case, is singularly lacking. The defence can challenge the nature of the confession before the trial starts and a hearing would be heard on whether in this particular case the evidence can be produced at the trial. If it is obvious that the person reporting the alleged confession has his or her own agenda it would undoubtedly be thrown out. So I think there would be more than enough grounds for Phil's lawyers to get it ruled out in this case.

Which brings us back to the question, why doesn't Inspector Mars Bar follow up the written evidence on the car lot fire instead of wasting time on this?

parkerman

20-01-2012, 18:42

You're confusing the fact of being told with what is being told.

If Phil tells Ben that he murdered someone then Ben's evidence in court is first hand in respect of the fact that Phil told him he had murdered someone but second hand as an account of the crime and would fall under the hearsay rules as applied to evidence that I outlined above.

Even with fully stretching the boundaries for TV storyline credability , the CPS would not take this to court based solely on hearsay evidence from one person, who is easily proven as predjudiced ,been recently convicted of a serious assault. who lied at the time. and who under questioning would show himself to be a complete knobhead. As has already been said there's more evidence with the car lot fire to prosecute.

I would questuion as to whether she is entitled to kick him out. Ben was stupid to think they would find out sooner or later
However, the Obnoxious Shirley is wrong to keep harping on that Phil has been fitted up. Phil is guilty and nobody has told any lies.

Did MarBar tell Denise she couldnt get Phil on Kev's death or the car lot fire and death as the letter wouldnt be admissable if that is the word and that is when Denise told her about Stella?

As I recall he chased her to the roof and continually threatened her till she fell off. He is certainly responsible for her death.

When Phil has finished in Panto and Ben eventually retracts his statement, Phil will be ready to return to his kingdom:thumbsdow

She won the money when she was starting to have another episode and asked a load of people if they wanted her to get them a scratchcard. Kim convinced her to get one for herself as well.

Jean did give away money but I thought it was Kat and Alfie's money from the till rather than hers.

Hopefully he'll take Ben with him whose only response to anything, is a dodgy stare. I've gone from being somebody who can't miss it, to couldn't care less, may give it a miss until I hear of something interesting happening.

ive just finished watchin ee omnibus for wk ending 4 feb. i know the wks eps had a lot of scorn from certain forums and many ee, aunty bashers, but i really enjoyed the wks ep's. derek is really growing on me. he had some great lines like when knocking on tylers door,' ill huff and ill puff. ' brilliant. love the relationship between anthony, tyler and michael. and seeing michael beaten up by derek was boardering on kinky. i thought some of the script was cleverly written, the racism that came out with derek and patrick. strange that jim and patrick became such good friends as jim when he first appeared was one of the biggest racists on the planet. shame they are killing hev off. liking her relationship with andrew. and aunty kim, you never disapoint. the best line came from benjamin billy elliott mitchell, describing phil as a pit bull without teeth. and they say ee dosent do humour. 'r u avin a giraffe.'

Agree with the above ^. I am bored of the Phil storyline, they are dragging it on for far too long IMO. Kill him off and be done with it

Max and Roxy make me cringe. It's was EE is all about

I wonder if Janine and Michael will last? It depends on how you would define last. There is no chance of a long term relationship.

Ok so is Amira is gone for good ????I do hope Syed shares the truth with Christian. Looks like Lauren is now gonna train her beady eyes on Anthony ??? Glad Zee has finally accepted Christian into the family ... did she give ALLLLLL the money to Kim and Denise ????? or did she hold back some for Tamwar and Afia ??

What truth. Bear in mind that Syed is naturally sly and devious.

Loved the scenes with Shirley, Heather and Andrew.

I did as well, even with Shirley in them. What happened to Shirley at the end will have a big impact when Heather is no more.

I doubt it considering she's having a 6 month break in the summer

Wouldn't you want a long break if you worked on Eastenders?

Dennis tanner

12-03-2012, 10:49

Fair point but perhaps it's more to do with working for the BBC

Shirley will be hard to take once Heather is gone I think they always were great together

I was expecting Ben to say he was raped or beaten up in the juvenile centre

megan999

I've forgotten, Ben got sent to juvenile centre because he hit Jordan with a spanner or something?

Yes, I agree with flappinfanny, a good episode.

Who thought Tanya had lost the plot, when she appeared with the knife, psycho came to mind, talking of psycho, Ben looked very much the part tonight, baking his cakes and smirking,

thurs was another good ep. jo joyner was superb, loved tameka scenes, very funny. ann mitchell stole every scene she was in. and not forgettin ben he has really grown on me, even though he has had a personality transplant, bye bye billy elliott, hello norman bates. ee is on a roll this wk. 9/10.

Only EastEnders could come up with a stupid scene like that.

Eastenders has never been able to do comedy, so I don't know why they still try - the shredding of the sofa was beyond ridiculous.

Kim and Cora are two examples of characters who are great for comedy in EE

Brucie

Don't know about Cora, unless it's funny to smoke around a cancer suffere, but the girl who plays Kim is definitely a natural comedienne. It's the scriptwriters who haven't a clue about comedy

Cora delivers some great one liners

I agree about Cora. Kim just makes me cringe. Far too OTT.

Cora is the one liner queen....

and apologies for being thick, how does smoking affect the cervix?

im sorry i have to disagree, it may not be slapstick northern humour ( and that isn't a dig at cs or ed) beacause they do humourous scenes in their own way which works for that type of continuing drama very well. but it is a myth that ee dosent do or cannot do humour. for example:-

the charity shop scene with cora, tanya and lauren

cora, tanya and lauren were trying hats on in the charity shop. tanya: 'a bit mother of the bride. cora: 'village of the damned me.' lauren: nan you got me all wrong,seriously, im not anti mariage.' then lauren with a big grin on her face says: 'im just waitin for some one just like my dad.' cora had the best line: 'your really sellin it to her tanya, aint you got feet to file.' that scene was ee at its best. zaniab and denise are having funny scenes again, good to see them gettin back to their biting selves. denise to michael in the minute mart: 'keep me away from joyful jamilla.'

Like the pairing of cora, rose and dot, walfords answer to the golden girls. cora is ee saviour.
