"Shut up, Barry, I'm trying to watch telly." Another classic quip from Roy.

[@rorymckernan8502]

As Frank would say 'Roy, Bleedin turn in it will ya'

[@slammednation8528]

I stopped watching Eastenders several years ago but this was Eastenders at its best! Frank was one of the best characters!

[@paulfrost8895]

You ever see Scrubbers ' the actress who played Pat was a screw in a womans prison.

[@rickhardman7376]

Despite everything Frank Butcher always had the viewers hearts and never came across unlikable

[@matthewscarsbrook5654]

How she runs round the square is hilarious!

[@1980extremeG]

Watching this makes me feel nostalgic and sad. These characters were so brilliantly played that the show almost seemed reality instead of acting. Why? Because the people themselves were great characters (especially Mike Reid, RIP). Eastenders these days is nothing compared to what it was back then, it's almost indicative of society itself, ie it was much better 20 odd years ago, and it's reflected here. These characters have gone and ironically there is a lack of character/personality in society these days!

[@richardbroad2848]

I couldn't agree more. These days most people are just standard blueprints. I can't see where the next Frank Butcher is going to come from.

[@erosion271]

oh shut up your nostalgia goggle wearing wetwipes. You have a bias perspective on it thats all.

[@mercutio843]

i think this is a question of volume. There are too many episodes of each soap so too many characters as lots more time needed to fill, and none are that well developed as a result and you’re less invested in their storylines. In terms of reality there is so much social media and so many influencers and everyone becomes clones of one another trying to copy each other and we just lose individuality. A real shame.

[@1980extremeG]

Frank Butcher was/is the greatest soap character of all time; genuinely good acting!

That dummy of Frank always had me dying, especially when he punched it. Really wish i could find a clip of that 😂😂😂😂

After seeing Roy punch Frank, Barry should have said to him, "I didn't know you had it in you!".

Great acting by the late Mike Reid, it was a shame he left the show as he was excellent in his final stint in EE from 98 - 00 acting-wise.

Got Mike Reid playing a villian in a Minder episode (You need hands) from the early 80s ' think its the same episode which Suzie Quotro appears in ' have a look.

[@elgee6202]

A classic storyline. I could never tell whether Frank saw Pat in the mirror and left her deliberately (knowing he could never provide her proper loyalty and stability), or whether he didn't realise she was chasing his car and left thinking she had already left herself.

I stopped watching eastenders about 5 years ago and i have never watched an episode since...This was the golden period of eastenders with all the big families and great characters...I had watched it since day one but it seemed to go astray somehow and there was nothing gripping about the soap anymore....

[@tebraizshahzad3364]

This might sound clichéd but this was when Eastenders was worth watching. It started to lose it's way in 2002. I started to stop watching in 2004 apart from a few episodes here and there but stopped for good in mid 2006. Ironically, I used to get laughed at for Watching It back ASAP teenager and in my early 20s (maybe because people that age were out an about) but people think I'm harsh that I can't be bothered and haven't watched a full episode for over 18 years. I remember watching this IN November 2000 and remember thinking it was the end of an era. Frank never returned again to the Square aside from a few spin off episodes in 2002 - 04. RIP Mike Reid.
