Megathread of Eastenders

Syed has always been somewhat spineless though, how many times did he promise Christian he would come clean to his parents? I don't think he wants children atm and there's still a bit of guilt for being with Christian without Zainab/Masood's blessings. So him leaving it too late to talk to Christian wasn't surprising.

I cringe at how desperate Roxy is. I don't like the whole "in love" with her gay best friend thing cos it was so much better seeing them as friends and loved how she was there for Christian after the beating and the reveal. She already said "Amy will have baby brother or sister" so she isn't considering the kid as Syed and Christian's I can already see she isn't going to want to hand the baby over after its born and will probably use that to cause trouble for Christian/Syed or even try to get with Christian despite knowing he's gay.

I agree with you on the main points of your post but why do people always think Syed's spineless? Because I know if I was forced to choose between my family and the person I love, I wouldn't know where to begin to choose either. People say Syed kept flip flopping but to be fair to him, he told Christian all along he was going to marry Amira, it's only towards the end of his marriage that he promised Christian he'd tell his parents and then he didn't and Christian (rightly) got annoyed and pulled down the wallpaper and started the reveal.

Syed was a bit 'Dont come near me' and then 'I don't want to not have you in my life' which was confusing but he never SAID he'd do anything other than be with Amira despite knowing he was gay and loves Christian. The only reason Syed married Amira was because he didn't want to cause his PARENTS shame, I don't think sacrificing your personal happiness for your family is spineless, I think it's entirely misguided especially when your parents dont care about your happiness and are hypocritical like Zainab and Masood but people seem to forget Syed always tried to do the 'right' thing. It's just doing the right thing is rather difficult when you're being pulled in all directions. I wouldn't want to be in Syed's situation a year ago. But yeah, Syed= not spineless. Unless I'm the only one who remembers him shouting at his dad over the hotel situation with Jane...
I understand why he didn't tell Christian, he always tries to please other people and he wants Christian to be happy so he's not saying anything- wrong in my book.
Aw well, at least tomorrow

Sorry for the essay! I tend to get a bit defensive of fictional Syed!

I don't understand... they've both been getting it on with Glenda so neither is in a position to hold it over each other

So not once did he consider what he was doing to Amira? He proposed to Amira in front of Christian (if I remember correctly) and it was clear he was just trying to prove to Christian he was straight and could be the son Zainab always wanted.

I don't consider leading a poor girl on and using her as cover doing the 'right' thing knowing he was never going to make happy. He should've had the backbone to stand up to Zainab on his wedding day and tell Amira the truth before she became 'damaged goods' in her own community.

I still consider him spineless man but gorgeous one at that but each to their own.

How does Ian always find him in these situations? Last year, it was Janine and Archie

I couldn't take the Phill and Ian's Archers scene seriously tonight after Ian said 'I've been a very naughty little boy'.

Heather is disgusting.

Was Tanya doing an impression of the Gap Yah guy?
