Revolcram a Syed checkshirtfest for your birthday! I tried to find some slightly different (but similar!) caps from what we’ve already seen.

Oh is it your birthday RC? Happy Birthday!

Part 18

Loved Johnny on the BBC this morning, although I do wish he would stop saying "you know" every two seconds, it does my head in!!! It's a very bad habit and he needs to stop it He's so gorgeous and lovely though that I think I can forgive him

I wonder if he'll be going back on these same programmes in a couple of weeks to talk about Chryed lol?!

Sounds like Nina and Nitin are doing the rounds at the mo though - the One Show last night and Kris Green tweeted today that he has just spoken to Nina and was still taking questions for Nitin. I'm quite excited that they're doing the rounds already It makes me realise that the black hole is almost over! It's APRIL tomorrow!!!!

Happy Birthday RC *sigh* I remember what it was like to be 15! Enjoy it!

And welcome to any newbies


Yes, I love the fact that it's more of a love story now than a gay Muslim story, which is what it was first touted as. I often wonder whether they always intended for the storyline to head this way as didn't Santer say that we would never see more than one kiss? Like Johnny says, the chemistry between him and Marc has surprised a lot of people, including them, so I do wonder whether the love aspect of the story only came into play when it became apparent just how well Johnny and Marc work together and how much sizzling chemistry they have on screen....who knows though!

Obviously the Muslim aspect of the storyline is still very important though, and I just wish we had more scenes of Syed struggling with this....his religion is a huge part of who he is, after all. I know a lot of people may find religious stories dull to watch, but I've been really interested in this aspect of the storyline and it's certainly opened my eyes up to a lot of things and I've discovered a lot about the Muslim culture, thanks to this thread and EE.

But I love what Johnny has said about the storyline, that it's a story about two people who fall in love under impossible circumstances - awww

Wow part 18 guys!!! I wondered where all of the pages had suddenly gone!!

Congrats again CC!!

I knew I would be way down for Part 17 after the past few days!! I will come back fighting next week!!!

Congrats on part 18 ... RC gets ownership on her birthday.. very fitting Gooo youuu!!! Thanks Saz for the heads up!



*Ahem* .. Oh... RC is second and was 132 posts behind me... Wow..

PoppyMay - Quite clearly we've had to reassess how many times we post... what with work to do and all that.. So it naturally makes sense for us to be in the top 5!!

Angel - Sorry... I'll try and give it to you in this part, promise

So true, it's hard enough being a teenager these days but being a teenage and feeling different or isolated must be so hard to cope with, however accepted it seems to be in the public eye. Some places it will be accepted and some will be lucky but too many must have to cope alone. So sad it still happens.

I agree EE is a good vehicle for getting young people to understand it as you say as simply a love story too.

Thank you


I know I'm not RC but I love them!
I hope Syed wears another check shirt soon!

I am guessing I won't be very high up for this part either as won't be back to my normal posting behaviour until next Tues!!

Its probably only right that you are top poster anyway, what with your name and all!!!

Wow thread 18 already. How quickly do we get through these now?

I saw back on 17 that someone had read somewhere that Syed stays the night with Christian. Do we know if that's definite? Can't see how that could happen really as how would Syed explain his absence to his family?

Would make it easier though for them to give us the next scene then showing one of them in bed and the other in the kitchen or whatever but making it obvious they had been together. Then Syed could do his disappearing act.

On another subject, I too wish they had shown more of Syed's angst. It is only down to Marc's brilliant acting and facial expressions that he conveys that he is desperately unhappy. One of my favourite bits that does convey his unhappiness to us and Christian is when Syed is in the Unit working and Christian comes in to get some folders and I just love those two scenes between them and when Christian goes to touch him and he can't bear for him to do so. Does really come across how unhappy he is there, it's just that we need more like this.

I rewatched today the last scene between Christian and Syed outside the Vic and it seems so long ago now. I hope we loyal fans never have this long a gap again as it is just ridiculous. It seemed bad enough after the wedding and took Syed and Amira ages to return from their honeymoon but then to go to this fairly soon after is too much.

I agree Who Me. I don't watch Emmerdale but did catch that particular episode on ITV Player after everyone was talking about it on the thread. A part of me was slightly jealous of Aaron because he more or less had an entire episode dedicated to him where he went through a whole range of emotions whilst also verbalising his fears to Paddy, and by extension, the public.

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.

so night night my lovely chryedians xx
caht soon
xxxCHRYED 4EVAxxx
LOVE WILL PREVAIL
LOVE THE SPOILERS
AND YAY CHRYED MONTH IS HERE YAY
LOVE IT BEING APRIL I FEEL JUST REALLY HAPPY

So you can claim it for the next part then

Oooh.. ... The thing is that I dont intentionally post to put myself first... I just have a lot to say... otherwise I dont check the posting ranks except to write the stats, and maybe the odd occasion

So I'm guessing... 5 days at the most?

Gah at it being April Fool's tomorrow.. I'm going to be vary of anything we read tomorrow

Good! I'm glad!



I know I watched OTR and I really don't like that type of show! We're nuts aren't we?!

BIB I completely agree, you have great taste too!

Night buttercup.. Love will prevail!

Coursework time for me hopefully xx

Bemma - Welcome to the thread!!! Glad that you've delurked and I will post the official welcome tonight!!

Didn't see John on breakfast tv. Was he talking about EE or OTR?

We must keep our eyes peeled in next few weeks for interviews etc and presumably someone from storyline will be on This Morning at some stage. Would be so nice to see John and Marc together but I bet it's Preeya and Marc or something like that again.

Yeah... its THEIR time in the spotlight now!!

Apparently its been uploaded by endersfan.... So worth checking out! I missed it too!

I really want Johnny to take it easy!! Apparently he looked really tired today... sorry I'm just doing "mothering" ...

If we actually get an interview of Marc and Johnny together, I think I actually will turn into a puddle of mess on the floor
How long have we waited for this

Of course we know you don't CC! Its all just a bit of fun and interesting to see!

Sorry to sound like a parrot... but I really need help for tomorrow... I have no idea what I'm doing!
Elstree - Anyone gone before? Could you please pm me if you dont want to discuss it on here?! Thanks x

I worry about him too since I read the interview where he says he hardly sleeps cos of the commitments. Really don't want him to over-work himself.
