Eastenders: Albert Square
built 656 days ago
For US viewers annoyed by US soaps' resistance to showing the slightest physical imperfection, EastEnders' characters are, with a handful of exceptions, gloriously average looking folk. There are plenty of protruding midsections (male and female), acne scars, receding hairlines, and crooked teeth in Albert Square. Not only that, but the characters eat poorly, smoke too much, and drink a lot, which makes perfect sense considering that the show's hub of activity is the local boozer, the Queen Victoria.

EastEnders is the most popular BBC television soap opera which was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC1 on 19 February 1985 and continues to date. EastEnders' storylines examine the lives of the people who live and work in Albert Square, a ficticious Victorian square of terraced houses in the east end of London, consisting of a pub, a street market and various small businesses.

Over at EastEnders, there will be the mandatory Yuletide death. This year Kevin Wicks, played by Phil Daniels, will be written out of the show in dramatic fashion. He will follow in the footsteps of Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richards), who breathed her last in a snow-filled Albert Square last year and Tiffany Mitchell (Martine McCutcheon), who was mown down by a car on New Year's Eve 1998.
