Everyone likes Will Smith. Christ, we can’t think of anyone who doesn’t love this not so fresh-faced rascal. Since growing up, Will Smith has taken on a variety of film roles. In Men In Black he saved the world from aliens. Likewise, Independence Day saw him repeat the same heroic feat. Come to think of it, didn’t the same thing kind of happen in I Am Legend? Taking a step back from this extra terrestrial creature stuff, Will wants to make an appearance on Eastenders. Quite likely to save Albert Square from Pat Butcher.
Middle-EastEnders is probably a big hit in the Islamic Republic of Iran... The show's writers traditionally shy away from the social taboos of go-karting, liking America or talking to women. The British however, have no such idea of tact and religious sensibility. Their version of the show often goes down like halal-packaged pork chops and recent developments in the East End will probably lead to nuclear winter. BBC soap, EastEnders, plans to feature a gay Muslim, played by an actor who is possibly taking his life into his own hands.
Soap operas are brilliant, aren’t they? They all give a retrospective insight into life in the various locations where they are all filmed.
In Emmerdale for instance, all the characters belong to rival farming tribes and live in the middle of nowhere. Coronation Street is full of a variety of characters, from the old, young and transsexual. But the best has to be EastEnders. It's attempt at showing murky gangster activity is hilarious. All these soaps also have one thing in common.
It doesn't matter how legendary a soap character is, as soon as they've been killed off they'll never work on television again. For one unlucky EastEnders character, their 14-year stint is soon to be over. But who is it? Find out after the jump.
The thing that sets EastEnders apart from all the other British soaps is how gritty and realistic it is compared to everything else.
After all, anyone who's ever been to the east end of London knows that every five or six weeks a gang of unconvincing, slightly-too-theatrical thugs burst into the local pub for no real reason and kick a pregnant woman over.
That exact thing happened on EastEnders not so long ago, and now Ofcom has criticised the episode. Not because of the unusual and irresponsible level of pre-watershed violence, though - but because it was honestly the single most rubbish thing to appear on television in the last 12 months, other than the failed BBC2 pilot Look! Adrian Chiles In A Bikini! And because of the violence too, actually. A bit.
Quickly - think of the very worst thing you possibly can. Forget wars and pestilence and all that nonsense - we're talking really horrific here. What have you come up with?
There's a very high probability that you just thought 'Shane Richie starring in a remake of Minder for Channel Five'. Because, objectively, that's the very worst thing the human brain will allow you to imagine before it goes wrong and has a stroke.
But guess what? There is going to be a remake of Minder, it is going to be on Channel Five and irritating cockney wideboy gasbag Shane Richie will star in it. On the plus side, if you start destroying your TV with an axe now, there's a good chance you'll miss it.
EastEnders routinely inspires violence in its viewers. OK, in us. And the violence is mainly directed at our sofa, accompanied by yells of "This is so rubbish! Why is this even on? Arrrgh!"
However, sometimes this little violent whirlpool leaks out from inside our heads and ends up elsewhere, like the outside of Lacey Turner's head.
Basically, Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey in EastEnders, got beaten up in a car park. In a supermarket car park.
You’ve got to take your hat off to life every now and then. It’s jam-packed with more surprises than a sexual health check after a night with Britney.
Just when you think you’ve got the world sussed to a point where you can put your feet up and relax, that pesky God character whips the carpet from under your feet and, suddenly, from out of nowhere – and we really mean nowhere - Sonia from EastEnders would definitely get it.
