Yes they do the right thing by airing such things but no way will there ever be a happy ending while the BBC is the monster we prop up. trust me there will never be happy endings for gays on the BBC.

Do they get their kit off? I don't bother with soaps either but I'll record it if they do. They are both quite fit. Do they get their kit off?

A gay muslim/coming out story and all revelaled around christmas and new year! I mean wow! You would'nt have even got the ink to the script 10 years ago! Well done Eastenders. The acting is also superb, and not just with the gay storyline, and shows why this soap stands way above all others, with the acolades to prove it. As for muslims who cry out for a 'normal' muslim character. Oh please....it's the repression of gay people within all religions thats not normal!!

In many ways it's quite an adventurous storyline. (Pity they couldn't have found a convincingly SubContinental actor to play the role but hey, you can't have everything ...!)

Why on earth didn't they have a gay mulsim chracter marrying a lesbian muslim as a secret marriage of convenience. So much more scope for interesting things...
