Yeah, what Derek said to David was well out-of-order. I guess we're starting to see Derek's true colours.

1. Syed let them down before he came on to the Square but since then he has only let them down because they are homophobic and didn't want him to enter a gay relationship. Do you think the Masoods were right to more or less force him into marriage with Amira? Is that what you are saying, that they were right to be homophobic?
2. That's not his parents' problem. If he thinks Christian makes him happy then he does, that's what any parent should be supporting.

As I recall, Syed came home one day with rich girl Amira, a girl they had no knowledge about. He proposed to her and because he was broke his parents were forced to pay thousdands for his farce of a wedding complete with fancy horse.
Now I would call that letting them down.

i personally love tameka empson as kim. she is hilarious. classic kimbeley going back to an ep at the end of september when she was gettin ready to go on the pull with kat and she asked patrick and denise what dress to choose from the yellow or blue:
"moira stuart on a sunny day or kate middelton , moira or queen kate." delivered brillantly and so funny. and they say ee dosen't do comedy. i think the writing has been great lately and has a lot to do with former corrie writer daran little who now writes for ee. i think the relationship between kim, denise and patrick works very well and they have had some lovely scenes lately. ee is certainly on top of its game.

Thats the thing, It just feels like apart from getting Carol pregnant, Derek has just held this grudge

He did it because he was under pressure from them to find a good Muslim girl because of their views on homosexuality. He was trying to please them. It was the Masoods who let Syed down not the other way round.

Maybe there's more to it that we don't know about yet, or maybe Derek is just the type who'll hold a grudge to his death - he seems the type. I'm glad to see David standing up to him, so far, anyway.

I'm loving the scenes between Carol and David - reminiscient of EE at its best.

They let Syed down when they allowed him to scam then for thousands of pounds
