[@xxlil_dounutzzxx7655]

My favroute Family in the eastenders series Is the Masoods

[@bugutwo]

When this show first started back in 1885, 25 years after Coronation Street, that during the time was still the number one popular soap, the critics said; Eastenders will never last, they gave it a year at the most. 2015 and 30 years later, it is still going strong, now a serious competitor with Coronation Street. My favourite character was Nick Cotton, the no good son of Dot. Knew we were in for some exciting episodes every time he reappeared in the Square. Gave up watching when Dennis Watts was resurrected from the dead and then it became unbelievable and stupid.

[@JonHunt1969]

1985*

[@sb6678]

Yea, past characters that are still in it

[@prettyyoungthingpyt5015]

What?? Deano, Gus, Gary, Dawn, Minty all gone?? Eastenders must really suck in the future. Thankfully, I'm 10 years behind so I'm actually enjoying these guys right now...

[@miabrucefan]

Yeah uhm I don’t want to spoil it but you won’t like Deano anymore...

[@seasidemarkedwards5434]

I hate 99% of these characters and the writers who write eastenders should be executed

[@davescopes249]

Hi. Thank you for putting this great video together and sharing it 👍. Can I please ask you if can remember any clips or have any clips of Dennis fox before she came into the show before she was Denise fox. She definitely was in it but played a different part. Either she sang in a band in the pub now and again or she was the boyfriend of the owner of the night cafe. But only now and again. Please help. It's doing my head in trying to find a clip of her. I've Googled it and it says she was only in it for about 6 months and left in 1998 . Her real name is Diane parish Thank you 👍.PS I've just Googled her again since I typed the first part of this message and it says her name was Lola Christie and she was in Nicks Jaz band. 🎶👍.

[@MrKasim91]

I was 12 that time

[@ashleighstokes4968]

Joe wicks 🥰🥰🥵

[@Yosoyamcamc]

Hi. I was actually looking for James Scott from Day's of Our Lives. I didn't see him come up at all, but noticed something peculiar. There are several actors that share the same last name. Fowlers, Brannings, Masoods are a few that come to mind. Could all these people be related working on the same show? Sorry I'm in the U.S. and yes sometimes some cast members might be related, but this seems to be a recurring thing.

[@deebo80sw6]

They are the ficticious family names

[@rileysutton633]

Johnny Allen died in jail of a heart attack on 20th October 2006.
