I really felt this week was dragged out every last bit of them.

Possibly a bit too much

They've been absent for most of the year, so no. It's Branning fatigue that some people will be suffering from by the end of the year.

Exactly. Particularly because of "Big Bad" (sarcastic) Derek Branning and his litter.

If it's a choice between a missing Masood cheque stub, or Moping Moon/Kat and her mystery shagger, then.

Stub every time.

I already am. Derek and his brats and Jack lusting after Sharon...spare us.

The Masoods are one of the best things about Eastenders.

The Masoods hardly had any storylines this year and they were very underused this year. They have every right to dominate this week. The Brannings on the other hand are way overused and I'm sick of the Brannings...

Masoods definitely better than Brannings - can't stand Max - he's virtually off-hand with everyone unless there's something in it for him.

Really? and i thought EE became the brannings show! Love the Masoods over the brannings "keeping it in the family" and well kat the slapper sleeping with anyone that moves.

I actually disagree: LOVE the Masoods (all bar Syed and his emotionless face - urgh) especially Zainab and Tamwar, who are hilarious. I am even warming to AJ!

Less of the Dereks, Sharons and Lucys for me. Those could all be axed and the show would be much better.

And would love a storyline involving Kim, another underused character.

I hope so to but I'd rather these than the Brannings at the moment.

Yes, I'm not overly keen on the Masoods either, they all make for rather turn-able off TV for me, "dram queens", the lot of them barring Tamwar - who is the only Masood I have any time for really, dry humour and intelligent - very rare in EE of course! That said, Syed was ok for me too as he didn't over react to anything and was good at keeping a lid on matters in a crisis....but is now leaving! On the negative side, Zainab's soul pastime in life is making a mountain out of a molehill, Mas's self righteousness is beyond irritating and AJ loves playing the grown man fool but in a rather tedious, not particularly amusing way. :sleep:

People say they've been under-used all year long but they had all of last week and lest we forget, hogged all of the last Christmas Day episode of course.......

Having a week about the masoods was such a nice break from the others!

They all (masoods) have such a natural, believable chemistry about them, even AJ who has slotted in really well.

Loved last night and Thursday with the fallout and the parallels between both syed and tam feeling distant from one parent, and how that's impacted on their recent behaviour.

Though marc, himesh, nina and nitin were all magnificent and in my opinion, one of the best weeks in a while. Proper drama.

I would watch the masoods over Derek, the Brannings, kats mystery man, any day!

The masoods and Lola/Phil/billy/jay/abi are all thats interesting me these days

Syed and tam in particular have been hideously underused this year, shame as they are two of the more talented actors in the cast who aren't over the top and panto

The Syed stuff was boring, but when the Masoods found out for me it was good viewing.
I love the Masoods, much better than Who shagged Kat, or just Kalfie on screen.

I love the Brannings, except (Derek and Jack, and occassionally Joey and Alice) and personally I dont mind that they are the focus of the Xmas SL but they are over involved in EE and are the biggest family that are growing by the second.

When will the Foxes or the Beales be the focus??
