It's so odd. I remember so clearly watching this when it aired. I knew Z wouldn't have been having an affair, I think I guessed she was going to meet the mysterious Syed. But little did I think what it was all going to lead to...

ETA It's like the Abba song 'The Day Before You Came'.

I know I didn't believe she'd have an affair. Not sure if I thought of Syed though, can't remember.

Very good idea to start with these clips, I always start watching from 1st kiss, so haven't seen these for aaaages. Can't wait till Christian shows up! No idea what clip that will be

It's really interesting seeing Z lying to M about Syed. This was carried through all the way to the end, when Mas accused Syed of always getting in between them.

Awwwwwww.
And there he is.
So weird thinking of everything he's been through, what's going on inside, the journey he's going to go through. That he's about to meet the love of his life that'll turn everything upside down and then right way up.
*sigh*

Hello

Don't think I've ever re-watched these. Loving Jane laughing about Bob.

I think TPTB set up his relationship with Z and M really well. Especially how much Z dotes on him, and adores him, even getting dressed up to look beautiful for him. There are elements of their relationship that are like a love affair.

Hello!

It just always makes me think of Nina in the 'Revealed' show saying Bob in a Pakistani accent.

And of course, Z lying about S to M is brought up again when she lies about the money in the run up to Chryed's wedding. Full circle.

Yeah, there was one that started 'Are you ignoring me?'
Makes me think he's trying to do something, or taking a shower, and she's texted him and doesn't get an instant reply and goes all 'Where are you? Why aren't you replying? Answer my question instantly'.

I always love watching these clips again. I really like the humour and the friendship between Jane and Masood.

So funny that they chose the name Bob. LOL

Love it that Z was so excited about meeting Syed. She looked so pretty, and I LOVE that scarf!!!

The bookclub scene was great. It reminds me of the bookclub scene in one of the last Vicar of Dibley eps, where Geraldine hasn't read the book, but just reads the comments off the cover, as Denise has clearly done here, lol.

I'd forgotten about Syed's fabulous painting being above the sofa, lol. When I first watched all the Chryed scenes, I don't think I ever noticed that painting until the MQ fight scene!

I can never get used to Syed in that suit, I'm so used to the tee shirts and plaid shirts.

I don't like seeing Syed in a suit. Cheap looking one as well.

I do make an exception for the CCC episode though, because well, how can you not

OMG I totally forgot to look out for the painting!
No giant seagulls on it yet...

What point would that be? :sleep:

Yes, that was the one that made me laugh. (And 'not long now!'). Very Zainab.

Well yes, fair enough! Long way to go...

No, it's not a nice suit. And then all the showing off round the swanky apartment in the next bit. I really didn't like Syed when he first arrived. How things change...

But I probably shouldn't be preempting next week's rewatch!

I saw that
Not at the time though probably.

Bye! See you around for some of the other clips

Oops, I forgot the rewatch started tonight I probably won't be around tomorrow or Monday either but will hopefully be able to join in from then!

They so should have brought Linda back in the build-up to Chryed's wedding, she was a brilliant character! Linda and Zainab would have been TV gold, such a missed opportunity

The Amy stuff was so sad, Christian was so excited about being a family with Roxy and the baby

I love all the Christian/Lucy stuff too, when she moves in with him and has him wrapped round her little finger!

I've got all the Christian stuff saved on my computer but not sure if any of it's on YT or not...I could probably start uploading it if anyone wants me to although it'll take me a while as I have a stupidly slow internet connection at the mo!
I don't believe Linda would have missed her commitment-phobe son finally settling down with someone if she could possibly help it, she would've been so proud of him. Such a shame she wasn't there Her and Zainab would've been hilarious together!

Ohh yeah, I'd forgotten about the Christian and Lucy stuff! I remember seeing some of that at the time, they were great together It all changed when new!Lucy arrived though, scenes between her and Christian just didn't seem right because she was so different to the original one.

Laura and anyone else wanting to watch the early Christian clips as well - they are all on yt, but on a different channel to the one we're using for the rewatch. (LL has some of the early 2008 stuff actually, but not the stuff inbetween.) I obviously don't want to link it here - I'll send you the link and anyone else who needs it can PM me.
I've found some of Christian's early stuff on YT before so if I find those I'll probably come across the rest of it too Would just be lovely to see it again because I've only seen most of it once, whereas I've seen a lot of the stuff from Syed arriving onwards countless times - that never gets old either though

It's so odd. I remember so clearly watching this when it aired. I knew Z wouldn't have been having an affair, I think I guessed she was going to meet the mysterious Syed. But little did I think what it was all going to lead to...

ETA It's like the Abba song 'The Day Before You Came'.
I didn't watch enough of EE to know who Syed was but I'm with you, I knew Zainab wouldn't be having an affair! I always find it weird looking back at some of Chryed's earliest stuff, especially Syed arriving, because he was the first new character to arrive after I started watching every episode so it all feels particularly nostalgic. I never read any spoilers back then either, so things like Chryed's first kiss were a massive surprise to me - a good surprise though!

Sorry I missed the rewatch! (I was actually at a roller derby with a fellow Chryedian, believe it or not.) I'll be here at 6pm tomorrow though. Have watched today's clips now...

It feels so weird seeing the Masoods again as a solid family unit after all this time. Haven't rewatched any clips in a long time, and haven't seen these early ones in years. Loved how devoted Mas and Zee were to each other, and Jane and Masood's lovely friendship. I will not dwell on what was done to these relationships later. :sleep:

My god, Marc looks so young.

The book club scenes are brilliant, so much love for them - Zainab's fake coughing is hilarious, and the moment when she tells everyone to get out of her house ("I think you should go, now, all of you") and they all just ignore her.

Also loved Z bursting into tears when she comes home and sees that Mas has cooked a nice meal for her. I think she was a lot softer in a lot of ways back then - still Zainab-ish, but we saw more vulnerability as well as the pig-headedness. She became a bit of a caricature in later years I think, like a lot of soap characters do, and was only allowed to shout and scream rather than occasionally being allowed to back down and apologise. Though it was also lovely when Mas told her "it's nice to have you back" after she stopped being tearful and apologetic and started snapping at him again. He loves her despite of - or including - all her faults.

Favourite bits of dialogue:

M (to T): What have you done? Should I be angry with you too?

Z: You must think I'm a total killjoy.
M: Nooo, not at all. That's Ian.
