What we must remember, is that Syed's position is very complex. By comparison, in my opinion, Aaron's position is far less grave. Aaron doesn't have the real fear of losing his faith, his family, his community. Yet, Syed has to battle all these external factors whilst still battling the internal things that a closeted gay man battles.Because of the extra factors in Syed's story, he desperately needs this to convey to the public who are unfarmiliar with that background just how much of a struggle this is.
How I would love a moment like that in Emmerdale for Syed. I'm still going to remain optimistic that we may be pleasently surprised and get something similar between him and Mas after the reveal, but it may be wishful thinking.
EE have struck gold with Marc. He has the ability to encapsulate everything that Syed is.”
I think Aaron's issues are as complex but for totally different reasons. He too (wrongly in my opinion) has the fear of what his family and the village/community will say when he comes out. He too fears that he will be shunned and excluded. Obviously this isnt down to his faith but I think the fear is still the same.

Actually I'm hoping Henry comes on for a little bit anyway just to see the welcome he will get (just hope he doesn't score!

Big bowl of spaghetti Carbonara for me tonight. I am not moving from that TV set until the whole thing is over. Had a really good feeling when the draw was made (I get weird feelings about footie matches - and am usually right) but for some reason I feel really nervous today

I really want to see Henry. If he comes on, I'll be one of those cheering him. We need Cesc though and Gallas. Oh man, I'm getting nervous again...”
Me too!!!

I agree. Inititally I was a Syed girl but the more the story has gone on I have started to fall in love with Christian. I would say that now I like them both on par and even more so when they are together.

. Not so much that I don't want Chryed to be together obviously but i do like her. I like her naivety and princess attitude and in general she's a really sweet girl.
For me it adds more to the story, maybe it's the sadist in me. I was a huge Mcdean fan but I loathed Sarah Barnes (craig's fiancee) so i didn't care if she got hurt but i do care about Amira's feelings.
Plus I think Preeya Kalidas is absolutely stunning.”
Oh yes!!!! Me too. Could not STAND the girl (or the actress that played her). Was sooooooooo pleased when all that came out.
Oh and thanks in advance for the potential spoilers Miss DL & Indie. You are too good to us
