If you were born in February 1985 or later, what was happening in EastEnders the day you were born? I've seen a Corrie thread for this, so I thought I'd start an EE thread.

Yeah I couldn't find out
However, the day before:
:L
Tuesday, June 16th 1987 Lofty is called to the hospice where his aunt is on the verge of dying. The London in Bloom competition begins.
Thursday, June 18th 1987
Den is getting more mysterious phone calls from the firm. They are upset about the drug bust and want him to shift the blame for the drug dealing. He is on edge and snaps at everyone including Magda.
She confides her concerns to Sharon, who passes the information along to Angie.
Lofty and Michelle are getting more visits from the social worker. Arthur is visited by the psyciatric nurse.
When Den isn't looking, Pat has a word with Dot that she should stop wasting her money on the slot machine. Dot is not persuaded as she knows she is going to win the jackpot.
The hospice sends word to Lofty that his Auntie Irene died.
14th July 1987The next morning, Ali is exhausted and Sue is extremely satisfied. She wants them to stay in bed shagging all day, but Ali quickly drags himself off to work while he has the chance. Sue grins and calls him her "randy Turk."
Naima leaves the shop in Tina's hands to have a drink with Farrukh, who is leaving soon for Bangladesh, and she says she will miss him. They agree to keep in contact and plan future visits with one another.
Ian and Tina have moved into Kelvin's flat.
The Walford Town FC (Wallys) beat Arsenal and Arthur sets about starting a weekly lottery in support of the team. Lou is going dotty and briefly thinks Arthur is her deceased husband, Albert. Then she lets the kettle boil dry and accuses Arthur of doing it. He goes to Legg for advice, who suggests giving her an occasional brandy and a close watching over.
Singh is trying to sell Legg on an ambitious expansion plan for the surgery. Legg is very resistive to any change.
Pete talks Den into having a country and western evening to boost business at the Vic. Colin gives him an anti-country and western speech.
When Arthur goes to the Dagmar to sell his football lottery tickets, he mentions this to James and says that a theme for the Dagmar might help bussiness. He suggests sports; football!
Wicksy's car goes in for MOT at 12.00 (the only time Winston could do it) and he'll get it back at 3.30. The car fails the MOT and Simon is left afoot. He goes to tell his troubles to his Auntie Pauline.
On his way back to the Vic, he stops off at the shop for a newspaper and spots Naima snogging Farrukh in the back of the shop by the canned goods. He leaves the money for the paper on the counter and silently leaves.
16th July 1987James decides to form a five-a-side football team and asks Arthur to help with it. Arthur doesn't think it is right bringing outside players in and refuses. He mentions this to Den and Den makes him manager of the Vic team. The first one he signs on is Barry as Colin had signed on with the Dagmar.
Lou invites Magda to see her World War cookery books and they have a chat about Den.
Pete wants to make some changes on the stall but is worried about Lou's reaction. She is talking on about goats. Albert had wanted to keep one and there had been one in Basset Street off Turpin Road which lasted up until the Coronation. She says she thinks it ended up in a curry and then falls asleep while Pete tries to tell her that the veg stall is failing.
Den is abducted by the firm and is sweating it out at an abondoned portakabin. While the country and western night is getting started, Brad sneaks into the Vic to pick up a few things (including Den's passport) and leaves a brown envelope with Simon's name on it in the back hall. Den is to take the night plane to Moroco and make a package pickup in exchange for clearing his debt to the firm.
Den can't talk his way out of this one!
The police suspect arson in the car lot fire. Ian decides some things should be kept in the family.
Continued at the fire scene, No 7 Albert Square. Police investigate the fire at the car lot and start with questioning Frank about ownership, his whereabouts etc. They obviously suspect arson. After they leave, Ricky asks Frank why he didn't tell them about the problem with the rival cab company.
The next morning Frank visits the scene.
Phil stops by the café and learns from Kathy about the tramp getting burned in the fire. That evening Phil visits Frank who is very agitated over the death. Phil is worried that Frank is going to slip up and spill the beans.
Shelley goes by the laundry and tells Arthur and Pauline that they need to persuade Mark to up his offer for the stall. Nellie's there and an argument starts when Pauline tells her its none of her affair. Arthur goes to the café and learns from Cindy that Ian plans to sell the stall to Richard. At the Vic, Ian and David tell Richard that they agree to sell him the stall. He plans to take over on Monday.
Pauline remembers the money she got for selling her share of the café, which is about 10 grand and gets Cindy to bring Ian round to talk about the veg stall. Pauline calls Mr Marshall at the building society and arranges to get the money tomorrow. Ian is very meek and agrees to sell it to her instead of Cole to keep it in the family. They all gather round the stall and send for Mark, who is unusually appreciative when they all tell him it's his. Cole shows up and is indignant that Ian backed out of the agreement to sell it to him and says he will top any offer. Ian with a sly grin tells him that the stall stays in the family.
Richard gets a visit from Bianca and he throws her out.
Pauline's 50th birthday is tomorrow and Arthur asks her several times if there's anything special that she wants to do for her birthday. As they are about to go to bed (he's still sleeping on his own) she says there is one thing she would like to do for her birthday and gives him a hug. Hint SEX!
Frank is on the verge of a mental collapse over the death of the vagrant in the car lot fire. He has started smoking a lot of cigarettes and drinking heavily. The episode ends with an unsteady Frank tossing an empty scotch bottle at the car lot with an anguished cry.
Michelle ask Lou if she remembers what she said to her mum when she found out that she was pregnant. Lou then puts down the paper that she is reading, saying "Yes I do." She tells Michelle that she told her to get rid of it, and how in those days they went down to Granny Gregory's, where things were so messy & dangerous that a lot of them died, and that "The only contraception there is -- is the little word no." When she asks her if that's what she's trying to tell her, Michelle starts crying, as Lou hugs her in her arms.
Mandy sets up a shanty on the Square, upsetting Dot who wants to call the police. Richard kicks down the shack telling Arthur that he did it as a favour to him. Mark tells Mandy she should leave the Square. And she agrees. Richard looks on as Mandy leaves.
Hattie invites Steve to go to Norwich with her for Xmas.
Frank mentions going to see Mo on the 23d. Pat says she too busy with the cab business and gets Frank to help out with the cab driving.
Dot's carol singers start dropping out so Donald invites Dot to St James at Piccadilly for a concert to cheer her up.
Mark decides it's time to move into his own place spends the day looking for a flat. He persuades Steve to share expense with him when he finds something.
Ian gets a Xmas tree for his flat and invites Cindy and Steven to come stay with him for the holiday.
A good-time Santa visit the Vic and gets too drunk to see the kids or drive home. He hires Pat to drive him home in her mini-cab but then he starts pawing his helper and gets rowdy in the cab so Pats throws him out in front of Arthur and the kids. Martin gave Vicki a look of disbelief.
So funnily enough Mandy left on the day I was born and only recently returned. Don't know if that episode was interesting to people.
Jules was mugged, Mandy and Sam go shopping.
