Syed's expression when Christian says 'let's go home' is so beautiful.
2021 and still this is the best Eastenders story. Christian and Syed were one of the most beautiful stories. Never tired of watching their videos. The love, the passion of this two actors was out of this world. They deserve a comeback! We all want to see them!
"I don't think you can go to hell for having loved." Such a powerful line.
But this is exactly what at least two religious books say. ('I'm not religious, in any way, but it is v clear that this is what it says - so it doesnt make sense to me that Syed can still call himself a member of his religion and cherry pick)
@@psps2034 Exactly, it's all nice and that for tv, but in reality gay and Muslim is is not tolerated/accepted in Islam and most other if not ALL religions.
@@psps2034 In the Christian bible (not Muslim) it was a mistranslation, back in ancient biblical times homosexuality was practiced extensively
@@deardiary8292 Murder and burglary was also practiced extensively , it doesnt mean it was accepted as a normal thing to do. Thats interesting though, so what should the actual translation have said?
Shouldn’t lay*
Wow, It's been over a decade and this scene can still make me cry.
There’s no point even trying to compare Ben and Callum to Syed and Christian because their storyline was so unique they were made for eachother, it was such a powerful storyline to be told back then it reminded me of how Rana and Kate’s storyline started in Coronation Street, because again Rana was battling with her feelings for Kate alongside what her religion meant to her.
Syed annoyed the hell out of me!
The other connection with Corrie was both Christian and Kate were insufferably patronising, I honestly wished Kate had died instead of Rana, Rana was too good for her.
The stories are similar. Both Ben and Callum struggled with familial and societal expectations just like Christian and syed. No one is "made" for anyone. They chose to be together no matter what the world thinks. However being in his second gay bashing seems to have driven Ben back into the closet
@@gwynnethcoan761 they are not at all similar. Yes they had that too, but this was about the differences in culture and religion too. Syed also went through conversion therapy which obviously was a massive waste of time 🤣🤔
It's great, I want to watch it, where can I find it?
I wish Eastenders nowadays was more like this!
Syed/Christian was probably one of the best storylines on EE. Syed was so conflicted because of his religion and culture, and the love triangle between him christian & amira was sooo good. eastenders in its absolute prime.
Syed didn't ask to be born gay no matter what in Islam your still meant to treat everyone like a human being and not judge. It was more about culture, traditions and society.
@@dynahvelvixin.8615 sadly not all muslims think the same way as you do
@@alsimanche oh I know because they bring culture and traditions with society into it.
@@dynahvelvixin.8615 YOu're not born Gay
@@ahsenkhan5386 It's their natural sexuality they can't help it.
I am so glad this came up randomly in my explore page because it was the most beautiful confession I have ever heard! The way Syed expresses himself with his full heart and soul. My favourite line is: ‘I do not think you can go to hell for having loved’ 🥺🥺🥺✨
Watching Christian & Syed's storyline helped me feel normal/valid at a time I felt like I was the only one in the world that was gay. Think it helped my mum understand me a little better after I came out to her when she was struggling too accept my sexuality. She's now the most supportive mother I could ever want/ask for!
i can remember this like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful storyline and well played by all the actors involved!
Ikr, old Eastenders is better
They need to bring Christian and Syed back.
The second they set foot back in Walford they would break up. And then Christian would wind up sleeping with Ben and etc.
@Anonymous Reader yes so true 👍🏻
They could have a cameo kind of thing, like the current storyline with Tamwar and nancy's divorce- Tamwar could return wanting to talk to Nancy but visit his brother to get advice.
I wonder if in a few years they might have Syed and Amira's daughter return to the square to kick up some trouble.
But if they bring Syed back they might have to recast him as Marc Elliott has moved on from the role and has said 'he's unlikely to ever return to the show.'
@@peterjesse9483 DFKM🤣😭🤡
Ben and Callum will never be as good as Christian and Syed
Facts
THIS.
PREACH
Honestly I don't think EE will ever do a gay romance storyline as good as Syed and Christian. There was much more drama especially because of Syed's religion and family etc. Ben and Callum are cute and all but I don't feel the passion as much as Christian/Syed arc had.
I agree #syedandchristian
I think there both are absolutely amazing,adorable and absolutely perfect for each other
I just loved it when they played that special Eastenders music at the end 😭 😭 ❤️
Wish we had characters like this on EE again.
"Lets go home" ....and wrestle? yes Sir! LOL
omg this emotional music is a old one.
Why does this guy look like Harry Potter and Diego Sans had a baby? 😍😍😍
Diego Sans? You sir are a man of culture
Diego as in Dora the Explorer's cousin? 🤔
@@eleventyseven3742 oh you sweet summer child.
@@WhiteRaven696 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This brought back so many memories!🥺❤️
I'm very close with my mom, I have no idea what I would've done if she disowned me for loving someone just because of what religion tells her. Seeing his mom just turn away in disappointment is heartbreaking. I've never watched this series but I hope they find a way to reconcile.
This happened years ago on Eastenders and yeah they did make up after👁👄👁
Masood and Zainab came around in the end and accepted Syed was gay. They accepted Christian into the family too. If Syed is gay he cannot change what he is it's his natural sexuality. If he wants to remain Muslim while been gay nobody has the right to judge him it's between him and Allah proper Muslims don't judge they love no matter what.
@@dynahvelvixin.8615well said.
@@dynahvelvixin.8615well said.
@@celtictarotreadings333I am a Muslim revert and I am still friends with Gays.
Why y’all keep bringing up Ben Callum during their clip? There can be more than one or two gay relationships on the 35+ year show y’all. Hahahahaahah
Hope too see these two back soon
Gee! Christian bulked up! Daddy!!!! 😁🏳️🌈
I hope Syed and Christian do return to EastEnders.
Luv Syed. Miss him. Impressive character he's playing here. How is he now?
Is it possible you watch their storyline somewhere?
There's some clips on UA-cam, but on BBC iPlayer they're currently showing 2009 episodes I'm sure in a few months the episodes of Christian and Syed will air
on here, type chryed c & s storyline
BBC iplayer eastenders 2009
Bet where do you watch them ? 😭
Fab scene. Thanks for posting.
Handsome actor.
can you tell me since wich episod this story beggins? becuase I found there is 6000 episodes...
Can you do when Jean leaves
First time I'd ever seen a gay couple on TV - love them.
I used to work in Borehamwood where EastEnders was filmed. I was heading home from work one day on the train and Marc Elliott who played Syed was sitting on a nearby seat on the phone to his agent. "I just can't do the panto. I really, really can't." They must have been discussing career options after leaving the show. It's a tough world for former soap stars.
The major downside to this storyline was that their relationship started off as an affair.
right ? 😭 that part makes me so upset and disappointed but i do love their storyline so much
so what? sounds exciting and charged with homoerotic tension.
@@sibionic because it fuels the view shared by many ppl that not being straight is dirty , immoral and to just do with sex. It also portrayed syed as gay rather than bisexual .
@@psps2034 and yet people have same-sex affairs all the time and always have - TV drama doesn't have to 'correct' the view that 'not being straight is dirty' - it's not 'fuelling' it either. Besides people that think that aren't going to have their bigoted instincts changed by pretending some gay relationships aren't illicit (and dramatically just as interesting)
Because Syed was secrety gay he was he was too terrified to tell his parents he was gay because of their culture, traditions and society.
I'd love for them both to come back, 15 years later, in 2025.
it’s really rare in most cases it’s just a don’t ask don’t tell, this drama doesn’t happen again in most cases.
Back when EastEnders was at its best and the #1 and most talked about soap.
Nowadays it's become a laughing stock thanks to the overrated Kate Oates and Jon Sen.
Disagree Coronation Street was more talked about than eastenders because corrie was better than eastenders in 2010
EastEnders was at it's best back in the early-mid 2000's. Plus the show was doing fairly well until the scamdemic.
@@Hoops_2004 Each to their own.
🎻
Just get rid of Kim, for starters. Try-too-hard comedy which makes me cringe.
what a slay honestly
I love Ben and Callum but these two are the best gay ee couple
These too, and Robert and Aaron from Emmerdale, will always be my fav gay couples 🥺
Why compare Christian and Syed to Ben and Callum. They are four individuals or two very different couples.
I have no idea where this is from, but damn I wanna watch it, what happens after this scene ? Do they end up together ? 🥺 Omg
I used to watch all of their scene long time ago lol so if I remember correctly and maybe someone can correct me if Im wrong, there were a lot happen to them after this scene (because its soap, of course). In the end, they had a child together and decided to move out of town and that was their happy ending... :)
Upload ronnie and Roxys death scene please
One of the very very few happy endings in EE.
I don’t agree with the line “whatever faults I have, Allah (God) gave them to me”. No religion believes that. They believe in free will and choosing good and not wrong.
Love is not wrong.
It is wrong and a weakness to be stamped out
@@tla2119 Nope, that's religion.
@@tla2119 How so?
How old is this?
Christian would make a good gaston
Syed you fell in love with a man Christian you shouldn't have to choose between him and your family it's your life nobody's have the right to tell you who you can love and who you can't love you fell in love with Christian you can build a wonderful future with him he loves you too have a wonderful future with him
Why are people comparing two gay ships? You wouldn’t compare het ships so don’t do it with gay ships. Both ships had completely different storylines.
Yea i agree like there different people and different Story lines so there both amazing in their own way,so i don't get why people are comparing them
Agreed.
Christian & Syed’s relationship was based on the hardships of religion and homosexuality.
Whereas Ben & Callum just focus on their toxic relationship based on constantly lying to eachother.
Because gay relationships aren't common in EastEnders. How many have there even been in this show, five?
@@H.K.5 So?
@@PsionicDiamond He's complaining about people comparing gay relationships so I told him why people are doing that lmao
Bring them back, Eastenders now is completely bull......
Syed would make a good Aladdin
The tale of Aladdin was taking place in China originally and he was Chinese so you might want to stop watching disney cartoons. Oh and by the way santa claus (or by his real name St Nicholas) is dressed in green and gold (that(s coca cola which created the red and white santa), and Cinderella's shoe was not a stiletto but a sleeper and was made of fur not glass (The french for the fur it was made of is called Vair which is the white part on a squirrel's stomach and the word Vair sound like Verre in french as well, meaning glass and disney didn't bother to hire a good translator and the shoe turned into glass. Also Mulan never falls in love with a man in the real story and actually has many mistresses and concubines which she honours with a strap-on, not joking there either. In the original snow white the dwarves rape her while she sleeps, ...
etc etc etc.
Aladdin was muslim but he was Chinese .
We are already in hell with the opinions of today.
No religion, no god or goddess or mythology can trump love, and try as they may to hate and destroy , these types of heteros will never win. Hope one day these stories aren’t needed any more and our people live free right from birth
Such a horrible situation that religion puts gay people in. Religious ideals were formed in ancient age when man’s understanding was limited and unfortunately 2000 years ago man believed in evil spirits and the devil and in black-and-white and good and evil and possession and silly things that are not the determinants of sexuality. They probably believed the Earth was flat, they believed that the Earth was the centre of the universe, they believed that the universe was probably the only universe and that God spent all his time watching over his creation mankind. They didn’t know about dinosaurs or Neanderthals ! genetics and hormones and yet they want to follow these ancient rules because if you start dismantling the rules you dismantle religion, and they lose the hope of order and paradise
Doctor from Holby city;))))
why do they name every arab guy syed? lmao
I mean, his brother's called Tamwar and his dad's called Masood if that helps. The show's had quite a few Arab and Muslim characters over the years and I think he's the only Syed.
@@ejva2000 I meant in other shows, there other "Arab" characters named Syed
@@MokaLoca Oh yeah fair. Dunno if you're talking about British shows specifically but it is a fairly common name in the British Asian community I guess?
He's not Arab, he's Pakistani @@MokaLoca
Pero qué mal actúan TODOS

Syed isn't a name. Saeed is but Syed is more like a surname.
Where's the bucket at...
Tripe.
How is Islam a religion of peace, lol?
I wish you and your family nothing but peace in this life.
Read about it I am a Muslim revert I learned about Islam myself and its nothing what the media says. Alot of people compare and mix culture and religion and forget the difference.
WoW That was some bad acting!
This is very poor acting
White. Colonial. Fantasy. The white savior rescuing the brown person. Let’s try a new storyline. The brown Muslim boy who takes in a white working class immigrant.
Already done ---- It's called "The Launderette ”
Look up actual cases of muslims coming out as gay, the only fantasy in this story is that the family eventually accepted him. In the real world they'd have more likely killed him. So yes he does need saving, the race of the saviour is irrelevant. A white muslim would probably be just as much a bigot...
I was obsessed with this two.
