Will the British show EastEnders find itself trafficking in honor killings? The affair between Christian Clark and Syed Masood, a Muslim character is already in tatters, thanks to Masood marrying a woman. And in upcoming episodes, his wife finds out, and Clark is attacked by a Muslim man. Is it Masood? Masood’s father? Masood’s wife’s father? We don’t know! What we do know: You don’t get down this plot path and not expect everyone to expect you to traffic in stereotypes!

As much as I like their storyline, it’s too drawn out. They have been keeping their relationship on the DL for years! I’m more of a Luke/Noah kind of gal=]

Where is John Partridge going after this job? He is a very handsome man and I would like to see more of him.
