    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During the affair storyline between Stacey Slater and Max Branning, Jo Joyner (who plays Max's wife Tanya) did not read any parts of the EastEnders scripts other than her own, as she felt her acting was improved by not knowing what Max did behind Tanya's back, and because she felt that she could better justify to herself why Tanya would not suspect Max of cheating if she in reality did not know what he was getting up to.
    • Goofs
      The birth dates and death dates of events often vary from the date of their broadcast. This is due to the episodes being set on different days.
    • Quotes

      Dot: Luke, Chapter 4, Verse 23. Physician heal thyself.

      Zoe: Zoe, Chapter 1, shut your cakehole

      Dot: How rude...

    • Crazy credits
      From 1985-1993, the series titles was a black and white city with a bright blue river.

    Really awful
    I think this programme is a load of rubbish. All they do is argue and slap each other across the face and they call this acting?! These people get paid lots of money for this and most of them can't even act to save their lives. Also, the story lines are awful and after watching it for a few minutes, I am bored with it. I like the way that Harry Hill takes the mickey out of it on his TV show 'TV Burp' e.g. the weak joke "The Princess and the Pea isn't exactly Shakespeare is it?" that had Sonia and Naomi in stitches. I don't see how that is funny. I think this is a waste of everybody's money for their TV licence so this can be shown 4/5 days a week. Isn't there anything better than this?
