Spoiler regarding Amira
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...rds-amira.html
Just read this about Amira hooking up with the Danny Mitchell. Not impressed really as I think it will ruin her character and the effect of her storyline with Syed/Christain rather than adding a new enhanced dimension to it. I also find it very unrealistic unless it is a very brief fling. Overall I am sceptical over the whole storyline, what are your thoughts.... |

Defintely, I think their doing it to eventually create more drama with the Chryed reveal, although I agree it's totally out of character for Amira, espesially so soon after her nuptials...

I think it's only going to be brief, and I think Amira will confess to Syed soon after... then how will he react?

It's only a kiss, not a fling.

that is very funny! Well done! ![]() Back on topic - could it be that Amira is realising there's something 'not right' in her marriage, maybe Syed's hardly touching her so she is tempted when someone else pays her attention? Or even if they're having regular sex her instincts might be telling her that something is just 'not right'. I take it she was a virgin when they wed so won't have any actual sexual experience to fall back on and will be relying on 'feelings' to a certain extent.

Ok when i first heard this spoilor yesterday so soon after the marriage and after she had saved herself .. i though ... really .. how bizzare
but today i thought about it .. yes i thought about it and i thought this kinda makes sense just because you as a person says no sex before marriage .. doesnt mean you dont crave the passion.. the emotion and sex ... you build it up and the need for it is all consuming .. but you think or you know once your married then you will get it... so it becomes a just till am married... just abstain but then you marry and it doesn't live up to expectation... syed is being cold and mechanical about sex.. its about having a baby... i assume no love in it... and if your Amira your sitting there going .. is this it... your vunerability .. some one gives you a moment of passion .. they kiss you . its sweet .. you respond... yep i can see how amira's situation could lead to a kiss with another so soon after marriage but to be honest i would really need to see it to see how and why |

How old are Syed and Amira supposed to be in Eastenders.
The actors playing them are around 30 i think |

I also wonder whether Amira's hasn't got overly romantic ideas about love, sex and possion. I don't know if anyone remembers but, in one if the episodes last week there was a funny moment when Fatboy was hiding under Amira's bed reading one of her books called "tropics of desire". This only going to make her situation worse. As others also mentioned, Amira's does not have any experience of these things having saved herself for the marriage. So she probably had quite high expectations anyway and if on top of that Syed is being cold/distant/mechanical then she must end up feeling awful and confused.
I think this plot development is realistic, it is only one kiss and I am sure Amira will feel terribly guilty afterwards as it is out of character for her do that. I also think that we can only really judge this once we see the full context of this development on screen as I find spoilers can be sometimes misleading. I am however surprised at how soon this happens after the wedding and I can't help feeling that is was a bit contrived to fit in with the general drama before the anniversary. |

What the heck have I missed, Amira's going to poison Syed ![]() Of course then I realised that's not what you were saying *sigh* too early, haven't even had coffee yet, yes I know, it's a sin

Haha. Sorry about the typo Sam. I will try to be more careful.
I think that this plot development will make people more sympathetic towards Amira despite the fact that kissing another man is technically a wrong thing for her to do but it should highlight how bad her relationship with Syed has become while she remains totally clueless, insecure and vulnerable. This plot is also useful because if Syed finds out then it will make him realise that he has to behave a lot better towards her if he wants his marriage to work and because it will help Amira to realise what is missing from her marriage. I also wanted to add that I hope to see more character development for Amira. I hope to see are more complex and multi-layered Amira emerging. I don't want her to be portrayed as an innocent flower all the time because no one is and I want her flaws to be shown as well as the conflicting feelings she is bound to experience now because while I will continue to feel sorry for her situation, I want to like the character more. Despite knowing that she is being cheated on and what will happen to her I never seem to like Amira very much. I wonder why? I think it is because she is portrayed as a one dimensional, spoilt rich daddy’s girl, who is snobbish, a little childish and immature and can be quite rude and insensitive at times. For example Zainab has done and said some seriously horrible things in the past few weeks but despite all these wrongs I still like her. Syed was a probably being a coward when he didn’t break-up with Amira before the wedding. She almost handed it to him on a plate (twice!) when she said “I though you were beginning to lose interest”. But I still love his character very much because I feel for him and understand his being a young gay Muslim man struggling between his sexuality and the enormous pressure from his family (I mean did you see his Mum, lol?), family and religion. He is trying to do what would make most people happy even if it mean sacrificing his own happiness but he is also driven by fear and ends up failing miserably. I hope that upcoming plot developments will make me understand Amira’s character more because I think this will make me really like her. Deep down I suspect she is an intelligent but lonely and insecure women who like many people just wants to settle down with a man she really loves. |

Deep down I suspect she is an intelligent but lonely and insecure women who like many people just wants to settle down with a man she really loves. My fault for not waking up properly before I read it.I think Amira already has alot of sympathy, but I agree that her reasons for kissing Danny will be because of the tragic way her marriage is panning out. Marc did say in an interview that Syed is going to turn into quite a cruel person. While we viewers can understand why, Amira has no clue why Syed is acting this way and if Danny gives her attention and makes her feel special it would be quite easy for her to slip up and get drawn in by it all. Personally I think this is a catalyst for Amira discovering who Syed is, but Syed might turn round and become even more determined to make this marriage work. Sooner or later though, he'll have to reach a point where he realises Amira deserves her happiness and he can't give her that, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't love her the way she deserves to be loved. He loves Christian so... |

I'm not really impressed with this storyline to be honest. They've spent the past few months showing Amira to be very traditional, and I've really started to like her. I was looking forward to the time when she found out about Syed and watching some very angsty scenes because she genuinely seems to really love Syed... but I guess that won't really happen.
It seems as though instead of going down the Syed/Christian reveal route, it may actually turn out that Amira is the one to reveal she's fallen for someone else and decides to leave Syed. It would also be an interesting twist if she confides in Christian about it after she kisses Danny, seeing as him and Syed are unlikely to remain friends for a while. I can see Amira being really torn and feeling like a failure at her marriage collapsing, and I think this will be when Syed confesses to her. |

Agree Sam. This kiss will definitely be a catalyst for Amira to discover Syed’s sexuality. I know a lot of people were disappointed when they heard about the plot but I think it is a good one. I was just surprised by how soon after the honeymoon it happens.

Dopey, I really like the idea of Amira feeling like the collapse of the marriage is her fault only for Syed to confess the truth to her. That would much better than having a theatrical reveal with lost of people present. However, I am not entirely convinced that the Amira/Danny thing will lead to anything beyond that one kiss. I think it is a short term plot to move the storyline forward but will have to wait and see.

When do those two get back off honeymoon? |

What I don't get is that surely Danny must only be about 18 or so, as Glenda had him after she walked out on Archie, so way too young for Amira.
