I’ve been watching a bit of Classic Eastenders on the Drama channel lately as they show two episodes a day so it goes by quite quickly since there were only two a week back then. Eddie Royle is about to be murdered by Nick Cotton next week and I think Mark may tell his family about his HIV by Christmas.
I must say it’s much better than it is now. I’d forgotten how great Ethel Skinner and Pete Beale were as characters. It’s still the only soap I watch, but it’s a shadow of what it was back then.
Amazing recent line. Pauline to Kathy talking about Ian:
“ ‘ere, did you ever hit him when he was little?”
“No I don’t think I did”
“Well it’s never too late to start”
