EE - Julias theme
I'm glad they've left it over a year for this theme tune to be played, it makes it more special to the character exit and Zainabs tonight was emotional. Before Tonights it was used 10 times in the space off 3 years. I'm hoping they save the next one for another moment like tonights

It worked really well and had the desired effect.
I think Zainab deserved it as well, 5 years may seem a short time but she's been very popular since the start and as an actress Nina Wadia has provided some excellent performances during her time there. Stacey was there 6 years and had Julia's Theme 3 times, all of them worked though and fitted each scene perfectly, especially the last one which ended up as an updated Kathy exit! |

How was it out of touch? The exit of Zainab prompted the end of a long running storyline for the Masood's, an event the more than warrent's the use of the theme. It wasn't created merely for the use of specific character exits.

I don't think she was ever in the league of Peggy or Grant Mitchell, and I thought that's what Julia's Theme stood for; sadly IMHO, the show's depreciated to the point where Zainabs a big fish in a small pond, thus the Julia's theme - still don't think it was warranted.....

It was great that Zaniab got the Julia's theme because she is a great character and she truly deserve but the way that her exit storyline was written it wasn't needed. In other words the terrible writing in tonight's episode ruined the Julia's theme.

NO. The Theme is for endings where the 'Duff,Duff' doesn't really work.
Nice one Dan! |

It's just the theme music arranged differently

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it tonight, not because I though Zainab didn't deserve it, just because it was a shock.
Zainab totally needed a Julias Theme though, she has been a fantastic character for years. |

It doesn't matter how often it's used. All of the times it has been used, it has fitted the scene.
Just look at the description for the first time it was used "Ian Beale cries into the arms of his grandmother Lou after a heart-to-heart, because his father Pete disapproves of him becoming a chef."....hardly ground breaking stuff, is it? My favourite Julia's theme moment is Frank's funeral or when Nigel told Clare that Debbie had died. I absolutely balled my eyes out at that one .

I totally agree. Julia's theme should only be used for truly Iconic characters. Zainab is certainly not in that category. When it's used for lesser characters, it cheapens the effect.

Those of you saying Zainab didn't deserve Julia's Theme:
Zainab was a character which brought both drama and laughter... not many characters do this and she will go down in history as a memorable and much-loved character. Nina Wadia was outstanding throughout! Julia's Theme, as explained by exec producers, is used to represent a 'bitter-sweet' exit where the show is suffering a huge loss and Zee was definitely a BIG loss. |

They couldn't have used the duff duff ending after tonights scenes, there was no shock ending or Cliff hanger just pure emotion, it wasn't just Zainab's departure, it was the end of a Masood era and like it or not they have played a massive part in the square over the last five years. The scenes toward the end were beautifully done, the goodbyes, little Kamil with his Dad and then smiling up at his Mum in the taxi, Tamwars reaction and Masood following the cab, Zainabs tears. The duff duffs wouldn't have been as effective as Julias Theme.
