I love the way he is funny but so kind and considerate.. it pulled at my heart when he had his chat with Jack

He will make a great dad to Tommy

Michael seems to show no emotion towards Tommy I can see comparsions already between him and Archie

Again Jessie Wallace was so convincing. The cemistry between her and Shane Ritchie is so amazing. If was defenitaley a good thing bringing them back. I rmember she did not want to quit EE.

I felt sorry for Jack. Vanessa did a good thing there. Nice to see her with some emotion for a change.

[Abbie]

I thought that about Vanessa cos you only ever see her interact with Max at least shes branching out

Yes, I think the Masood/Yusef relationship is very complex and is an excellent storyline, probably one of the best Eastenders has done insofar as exploring the interaction between different characters with the added complications of Tam/Afia and Syed giving further dimensions to it.

Plus, of course, it's not just Bhatti, but all of them are excellent actors which helps make the whole thing more believable. As far as characterisation and acting goes, this whole storyline is one of the best (if not THE best) Eastenders has ever attempted and so far it is coming off.

Sorry to quote myself (!) but I just wanted to add that I think, in true Eastenders style, the scriptwriters have turned what was an excellent story into a ridiculous one. All that garbage about winning £8000 on two horse races etc. Oh dear....

It is possible.. depends on the odd.. he started with 50 on an 11/1 shot. .ends up with 600.. if put all that on 13/1 then he could make 8000! however, it think it was more than the 2 horses... we only see Jane pick too...

Masood is a hypocrite, he gambles, nearly has an affair with Jane yet he throws his gay son out of the family - I am getting sick of the Massods now mainly Mas and Zainab

I know it's possible, but how likely is it? And if it's more than 2 horses that makes it even more unbelievable. Perhaps we can all get out of our money worries by gambling on the horses - it obviously works.

You would be surprised.. I worked in an betting office (on and off) for 10 years.. and you get some people who win big randomly!! and if it was an occasion track like ascot or cheltenham then the outsiders (big odd horses) win more than the favourites... but in the end the bookie always wins.. as my dad says (and it is a reason I don't gamble) "you never see a bookmaker on a bicycle so tell me, who wins? "
