EastEnders - 25th March 1986

[@sideshowgod]

everyone was hustling and had multiple jobs just to make rent, it was raw, and believable, the drab decor, the rundown stores, the war era decor in the Fowlers house not updated in Moe's lifetime, I see so much more now than at the age of 9 when it was new

[@markdavies5933]

Exactly it was believable good storylines cast etc back then how I wished it was like that now

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Son and rain, joy and pain.

[@jaybee2402]

Yeah I thought it was all seriously grim at 17, at 55 I haven't changed my mind. Well the banter is quick at least. 😁

[@andrewhyde3146]

Thatcherism in action.

[@MsJackrussell2]

@@andrewhyde3146 More like the effects of living in a Labour-run council.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Angy does love that man. His cold heart is driving her crazy.

[@stephanblack4558]

Good old days.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Lofty in his army jumper. A real trooper.

[@ablueberrya10]

[@Dr.Thirteen]

I love how everyone is borrowing money from each other... just like these days

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Mary looked lovely without makeup.

[@leedummett4412]

ang was awesome.

[@snowbelle74]

Dee C Lee “come hell or waters high” playing in Dot/Tony cafe scene at 4.58.

[@Jakegothicsnake]

Mary looks cute and all, but I kinda miss her punk look.

[@jonbolton3376]

I think the punk look suited her better, even as a little kid lol, though as a 6 year old it was Sharon i fancied lol.

[@flight101]

Isn’t she pretty! Still is, they had her back for Dots funeral, same actress. I hate it when they change characters. Lucy Beale, Lauren Branning, Ben Mitchell, Sam Mitchell, Diane Butcher, Michelle Fowler, Vicky Fowler ( or whatever her surname was ), Janine Butcher.. so many changed.

[@traciemarsh1611]

id love to see all the old ee from the start but no where is showing them

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Wiksy is lovely.

[@Dr.Thirteen]

love how she had to look at her hand to see how many she was holing up lol

[@philomenamiranda4803]

Much better story lune in those days. More familt plors. Now it's nasty violent & selfish. Bring the community spirit back. Even Dan & Angie were so nice to the mistress .

[@jonbolton3376]

I watched with love from 1985 when i was aged 5 until about 2006 when i gave up lol.

[@Sawrattan]

Is it me or was it more diverse then than in the 2000s-2010s?

[@bensmithkent22]

Youre not wrong actually.

[@keeperofthe7keys1987]

Back when diversity wasn’t forced and actually worked

[@Mikey-mu1gj]

Loved Ethel.. shall I get Leg over 😂

[@MultiKs22]

its ironic everybody ask for tea and Mary pours cold water from the big tea pot . and the tables are always full of empty cups and mugs. .

[@flight101]

They wouldn’t dare show this now due to the pc bs. I refuse to be pc.. if the whole of the uk stuck together and said what we wanted, what they gunna do!? theres no law ! It’s our life everyone, say what you want, live how you like and if certain types dont like it then 🖕🏾

[@nicolacollett7943]

Why is Michelle so keen to give birth at home. ? 🤱

[@70srogertaylorwife33]

Idk

[@jonbolton3376]

Hates hospitals same as me, i'd never go near one unless i was unconscious.

[@nanair2007mk]

Stigma of being an unmarried mother

[@leederbyshire6158]

They treated Roly badly and a lot of racism back then.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Sue is beautiful.

[@kimdavison8083]

was moody Michelle really 16 years old then

[@hannahwillmott641]

did Simon Wicks just turn in to Clark Kent aka Superman

[@traciemarsh1611]

couldnt stand dot she was a trouble maker very nosy and she over reacted

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Den could have apologised. Wiksy can admit his weaknesses.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

God bless.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Poor shell she comes across as beligerant and ungrateful but really she is scared.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Ian might get his leg over but mary is keen on andy, a grown man. Those lads have no hope.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Fosters Lager (Melbourne Star) and a boomerang.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Dr legg probably has a nice flat in Islington.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Simon take your dad's advice. That bird is mad.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Ian is a nice lad. Looks like david platt but not nasty.

[@tomhiggins6542]

That changed during the 90s

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Melbourne Star - Eastenders version of Fosters.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Shall I get Legg over or a legg over.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

If you lived in a semi in epping with mum dad and a goldfish you could have it there.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

The bangladashi bird says divorce is hard to get in bangladesh for birds but forgets that its difficult for blokes too. Feminist propaganda and mysanthropy.
