And you'd think Amira would be a bit more excited about seeing her daughter for the first time in weeks (months??). Can totally see how Syed thinks she's better off with Amira and Potential Serial Killer For All Syed Knows. :sleep:

It is rather suspicious and kind of creepy.

LOL.
Cos Syed has lost C, and is broke, and feels like a total failure in every respect. Bleugh.
Yasmin likes C more than Amira.

Everyone likes C more than Amira.
Apart from fortuitous random man she met while she was 'away'

Seriously, one of the warning signs for unstable men is that they 'get way too serious way too fast'. But knowing Amira she's just like 'of course he wants to marry me and raise another man's child after a few weeks I am just that amazing', let's be honest. :sleep:

I still think its totally wrong that she's taking Yasmin out of her surroundings. Amira is thinking of her happiness but not what's right for her daughter.
I also feel sorry for Christian and Syed. Okay they'll have contact but they have been Yasmin's primary caregiver for quite some time now and to her just taken like that because mummy decides to pick her and leave her when she wants, is rather unfair. ”

I think Pete Lawson would say it's a plot device so that Chryed spend time alone as a couple - no Yasmin, no Masood and Zainab, no Roxy - and that when they return from the US, they'll move closer to Yasmin in or around Birmingham.
Mind you, I do think there's a chance Chryed don't leave together, since Marc said he was going to be interested in what fans think of the ending.
I'm afraid I think that was just poor writing.
I know we like to Gittins-bash, but I didn't know he was the writer until the end credits, but I could already tell.
Clunky. Shallow. Out of character (and not just for Syed, I felt that Sharon, Phil, Zainab were all a bit off).
He gets the main points across but it's always wooden, unnatural dialogue.
Better writing (ie with some kind of characterisation) could have made the 'we want to be a family in Birmingham' much more convincing. There could have been a line about the fiancee coming from a big family, or being desperate to meet Yasmin after all he's heard about her, or Amira missing her more than she thought she would.
There's just no FEELINGS in any of it. It's all surface facts. Which is why I think the actors struggle to make it convincing.
IMHO.

I wouldn't put too much weight into what Marc says about anything Chryed.

I'm hoping he was teasing!

Spot on.
But I do think it's in-character for Amira to sort of get carried away- she always had all these notions of the fairytale romance, and if this guy is genuine it'll be such a contrast to Syed she'll be amazed. I just don't think even Amira would be silly enough to expect Syed to give up a huge amount of access because she's fallen in 'love' after a few weeks. But, yeah, it was very very flat. Just sort of 'this is what the script outline says that's what you're getting'.

Exactly, it's all too quick! We first knew about Amira being off travelling on 28th September when Chryed received the postcard from her for Yasmin so if that was around the time when she first set off, she's barely even known him 2 months! and already they're engaged and wanting to set up home together with Yas?! I'm really glad that Amira's moved on with her life but there's moving on and then there's MOVING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Er, it's EE?
Evening
Initial ep reactions!
Tam is awesome!
Listen to him Syed!
Roxy talking sense!
Tam, Roxy and Zainab all talking sense!!
Syed won’t let anyone love him at the moment
Christian usually at nursery...he’s going to miss Yasmin so much
Kat and Syed scene was odd....Syed’s line was so strange....like they thought, we really should explore how he feels about being a dad, then they just give him a stupid line :sleep:
Urgh, Amira’s back :sleep:

True.
I hate Amira so much.
How dare she just come back and demand Yasmin back, Yasmin won’t even remember who she is. But of course Amira doesn’t give a damn about Yasmin, it’s all about herself. She’s got some random new man (who she barely knows, so good luck with that marriage :sleep: ) and now she’s going to take her daughter away from the dad’s who love and adore her and who she loves and adores.
Amira, selfish cow until the end.

That's why I think they're leaving together. If they weren't, it'd have been happy happy happy, bam, Danny bombshell, Christian leaves, devastated, Syed is gutted and can't bear to stay in Walford any longer and goes too. Instead they haven't been happy in ages. EE has a weird balance system for happiness.
It's just the way EE operates. Remember 'do you have any idea how much I love you?' just before the Ben stuff. THAT is EE. :sleep:
The most annoying this is that Amira would have probably carried on travelling leaving her daughter with Chryed for however long, if she hadn't have "fallen in love".
I mean I'm happy for her but she's know this guy for all but five minutes and I think it's rich that she's can quite happily leave her 1 year old daughter to go travelling but then changes things when she wants, making that little girls life even more unstable.
What ever happeneed to what's best for Yasmin?

It's what she's best at.
New bloke probably has pots of money.
