The good old days with Lou Beale 🎉

Childhood memories

Fucking hell, Ian demolished that van like the Juggernaut!!

Poor Michelle her body even her gran lou understood

i once met susan tully (michelle fowler) mid 80's in stringfellows - after a few pints of harp lager i went up to her and said - iv'e got a huge crush on you - she smiled and said ''that's nice'' and walked off - to this day best rejection i have ever had - and iv'e had a few...

Poor Lofty !

Love Anita Dobson 😍👑❤️🥂I'm so happy I met her years ago she's such an ICON

Outstanding acting

"... we're talking premature funerals." What a line 😅😂😅😂

That's so odd because when I first saw this decades ago as a little kid when it first aired, I could have sworn I saw Pete actually beating the mess out of Nick.

Lou your pressure lecture didn’t work for anyone.

Pete had no endearing qualities at all.

Bless her she died the next day

Ian Beale the Squeal. The most annoying character.

Den & Angie as "Michelle" being played on the piano 🤫 Classic EastEnders at it's finest!

Pete was a good man

Why is Wicksy dressed like Enya

Ian's well built here 👾

Some of the comments here are proof that we still have a long way to go when it comes to people's attitudes around mental illness.

Lofty touched me

Donna was a cutie here ❤

Why's a posh bloke like Wilmot Brown knocking about the east end

EastEnders was good back then all had a cockney accent now they don't more real then

Have you noticed that the Beales head to New Zealand and Mitchells flee to spain

Absolutely outstanding actor😢

Lofty was a gem. A shame that Michelle treated him so bad

Lou was the definition of "I speak, everyone else listens!" ❤

And from that moment, Ian hasnt stopped crying

Why did it take pauline so long to confront den ? She found out on christmas day 1986 and she pretended she didn't know. Also pauline was still fairly reasonable towards den even though she already knew he was the father. I can only assume they bought this scene up because lesile grantham had announced he was leaving the show around this time and it would be better for the viewers to let den know that pauline already knew and thats where the true hate from pauline towards den came from.

Why was Angie angry that Den was drunk when she was drunk all the time? A bit hypocritical!

Reminds me of Jim and Norma in the Royle Family

Grant was being out of character by wanting a rapist to stay in the flats. I think Grant would actually had preferred Sharon to lose the pub in order to not let a rapist in the square. Even though Grant was dodgy as they come even he had principles.

To be fair, Den only lightly slapped the pair of them. Not acceptable but wasn’t the worst of slaps. Sharon was more of a clip than a full blown slap.

Everyone felt sorry for Michelle but not for lofty. The poor guy was jilted and humiliated 😢

The only contraception is the word no? Yeah....coz saying no always works.

I remember when tom watt was on talksport as a football pundit and taking calls from fans.

SHUT UP 😂😂😂

Den smirking in the background. 😂😂 Legend.

Jesus, what a poisonous old woman 😮

When a murder rape or medical emergency only ever happened every seven years instead of every seven weeks 😂

Back when the characters lives didn’t revolve around the intensive care unit of walford general 😂

Why did David say to Pauline years later that Pete never paid child maintenance when he said he did in this clip? Is it a retcon or did Pat feed him lies?

Why did Pat say it was Pete’s brother that was Simon’s Dad when it was really Brian?

Kathy calling her mum

I never thought depression makes you angry?!

In later years, it's really shown how much of a trainwreck Michelle was and the type of woman who treats good guys badly and falls for the wrong ones. She keeps Den's child, someone who was old enough to be her Dad, but aborts Lofty's, oh yeah, and keeps Grant's chid. 🙄

RIP Leslie Grantham and Douglas Fielding.

Mary was a bettie

I was 16 then, same age as them young ones
