The Masood's - realistic, funny, excellent watching. Best set of actors in soap?
Zainab and Masood are the most convincing Soap couple on telly - their acting is first class and everything is very real with them. If I didn't know it was a Soap, I would believe that they were actually married and actually a couple.
Their entire family is realistic and that's down to the excellent acting - I didn't think I'd warm to the Zainab pregnancy storyline but I am very, very much enjoying it! Thumbs up to Nina Wadia and Nitin Ganatra - The main reason I enjoy Eastenders is the Masood's! Long live the Masoods! |

I do disagree with you however that life if never that exciting or whirlwind. I recognise some of the dillemas the EE characters find themselves in, and I think this is what makes a soap watchable..the fact that it is not science fiction, these are real life problems. The fact that sometimes we can recognise something in the script that has touched our own lives. This is why they often play that announcement at the end, "if you have been affected by". I guess some people may actually find a true to life experience being played out in a soap, somewhat healing in some way too, it is possible. I live with someone who has bi-polar, and believe me, there is certainly never a dull moment! |

I think like the Fowlers were they have been realistically drawn and their whole history well thought through. This has been the key to their success. Zainab and Mas have chemistry together as well all too often soap couples can be stood next to eachother like two blocks of wood but this couple you can believe in.

I do love them but I love Bianca just that little bit more. Misery Whitney lets that family down for me though, so I prefer the Masoods as a whole.

Great family. Realistic? Sadly not. Most Muslim men I know wouldnt engage in a relationship with a man, not for all the tea in China.

I also like watching the Masood family very much, I love the comedy in their acting and the some of the scenarios they find themselves in.

They're great!
I loved it last night when Zainab said "I was walking through the market and I could feel everybody staring at me thinking 'there's that poor woman with the alcoholic son!'".

She does go on a bit and always seems to be up in arms shouting about something. For a pregnant older mother she isnt exactly doing herself any favours. She will end up with high blood pressure at that rate. Tamwar is a nonentity for me he just looks a bit gormless. Oh well everyone has there own ideas about these things. |

That is one thing I admire about Muslims they in the main stay within the rules of their religion well the friends I know do. |

On a more general note, I totally agree with OP. I love the Masoods, they're definitely my favourite family. I didn't like Zainab when she first arrived, as she was so horrible to Denise, but I've really warmed to her now. They are very "real" as characters and as a family unit. My favourite is probably Tamwar, he's such a funny and adorable nerd type, bless him!

The story, writing and acting is very, very good (certainly the best thing in EE at the moment for me). The actors are all great and interact so well.

Yes, the dad's name is Masood, and the family's second name is Masood. |

You're not one of these people who think men like Syed don't exist in real life are you?
