[@scottamsterdam7799]

It's interesting reading the comments below about how the acting in this was really terrible; I actually think that Bill Treacher (Arthur) and Wendy Richards (Pauline) were two of the strongest cast members Eastenders have ever had. It's nice to see a soap dealing with the effects of an affair on an older couple rather than just young adults. Kudos to both actors for keeping the pace going without resorting to histrionics.

To me this is how Pauline Fowler will always be remembered before the writers turned her into an evil sour cow. U can tell Wendy enjoyed playing her during this era, back in the 90's. Pauline is and was EastEnders...it took Wendy's death to make me realise this. You will be sadly missed x

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

For me, this was one of the few moments where there seemed to be something other than distant irritation between them, and there was a hint that they might have been able to be happy.

Back when Eastenders was good, rather than the utter drivel it has been for most of this century

[@scmtuk3662]

It hasn't been "utter drivel" for _most_ of this century. Just the last few years. Remember that storyline that gripped the nation, and even brought people to tears by how extreme it was? It was so horrific, I could barely watch it. Feast your eyes on this (fan-made) trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqSzm6uKpM-Mmrs

[@tebraizshahzad3364]

I felt it was good in 2000-02 but after Mid 2002 started to go downhill , despite some good moments. I think going to 4 episodes a week, while good for the first year, in the long run, was too much and spread the content a bit thin and became too saturated. By mid 2006, when Grant left, I struggled to watch it and stopped.

[@gyobfan22]

The 2000's had some good storylines but it really went downhill over the past decade I stopped watching it around 2011. The 80's will always be the best era for eastenders.

[@gyobfan22]

@Roborav 90's was good but 80's was more gritty and had great characters like Den and Angie, Dot and Ethel, Mary, Pete etc. Yeah 2005 went over the top with Den's demise and the gangster element with Johnny Allen I didn't watch it as much after that. I'll definitely start watching again when Dot dies though, that will be sad.
