Nigel Bates Tells Clare Tyler That Her Mum Has Died (22nd June 1995)

[@tozzilil]

I lost my mum when I was 15. I’ll never forget the day my dad had to come to my school to tell me she’d gone.... 20 years later it still hurts.

[@leahcutts692]

I lost my mum at 15 too, I got home from school to find my cousin waiting for me and then 3 hours later, I found out that she died

This was one of the saddest moments of Eastenders ever. Thanks for posting.

[@theenglishkid8794]

Back when Eastenders was actually good now it's all year long story lines waiting on Christmas.

Nigel was the soundest bloke Albert square ever had.

[@MattySadler]

Powerful ending. Very good.

[@zanducktv2398]

Simple but so effective. Less is more sometimes.

Claire Bates (Gemma Bissix) had only had her 12th birthday when this scene was shot. A lovely looking girl then and certainly is now.
