Chrissie had some of the best lines in the history of Eastenders she basically summed up the Eastenders Christmas “But for once in your selfish, miserable lives COULD YOU HAVE NOT WAITED ‘TILL AFTER DINNER!!!”
Why did seeing Billy looking so young make me tear up lol. I really miss these times of eastenders. Never really appreciated it. I wish there was a way to watch it right from the start.
@@Phillips_284 unfortunately here in the USA there’s only BBC America and Brit Box. I’ll look for it and let you know but it sounds like a UK only service.
I hate what the writers did to Pauline at the end. Wendy Richards was right - Pauline never would have remarried. I think that writers should listen to actors who have portrayed a character for so long; they really get to know the character because they've been walking around in their skin for so long.
@@roxanneellis9125 I agree completely. All her life, it was "my Arthur." And it's not like Joe was a gentle soul like Arthur was. I miss the first couple of years of Esstenders a lot.
@@thenightporter aww yes absolutely,! Arthur was such a gentle great character Scriptwriters changed her so much that she wasn't even Pauline anymore ! Eastenders isn't like it used to be I'm watching tomorrow's episode just because its Dot's funeral 😥😥 but I don't even bother with it that much these days
Good old days. One by one all the good the actors left, l never thought I'd see no decent actors in EE and absolutely boring story lines, it hasn't improved at all with time, a sinking ship. I have watched it from the start and it is sad to see it go how it has.
My god, it feels as if these episodes only happened yesterday; I literally remember them so well! I miss all these characters, apart from Grant... please don't bring him back!! 😭
I loved grant he was great and he's done so well leaving happy enders It's a person's choice you don't like him and there's probably loads of others the same 👍
I’ve always wanted a stalker storyline for Sharon and we don’t know who it is, until it’s revealed as either Chrissie or Angie (would love her to return, is it really unbelievable that Sharon could’ve helped her mum fake her death)
I used to watch EastEnders every Sunday night, on our local public broadcasting station, until the funding ended, I just wish one of the many PBS stations would pick it up again.. It's been quite a few years. Watching this Christmas on the Square video is great. I remember a lot of the characters (good & bad), but some of the new people are equally as great as the long-time characters. Yup, I miss this show...
I don't think it was up to our local PBS stations but the BBC, who said "no more." All of the PBS stations ceased broadcasting it at the end of 2021. You can watch new episodes via Britbox. It's $7.49 per month and episodes are uploaded the same day they are broadcast in the UK.
Christmas 2002 was magical and depressing at the same time. Magical cuz Billy gave Little Mo a fairy tale like Christmas wedding she deserved after what Trevor put her through. And depressing cuz Jamie dies in the meantime. The ending of Christmas 2004 was sure depressing compared to the year before when Kat & Alfie finally got married after Alfie's little hiccup divorcing his ex-wife. Why is that not on here btw? Or even Christmas 2005 with Kat & Alfie leaving Walford? At least end this video on a cheerful note.
It's so formulaic. One family has a fairytale Christmas. Another has the Christmas from hell. Then NYE is a total disaster with some kind of extreme violence and/or a main character unexpectedly ending up dead. --- Really, death and taxes are less predictable.
Christmas Day 1998 was so forgettable, that’s probably why they had to resort to showing the infamous New Year’s Eve special in its place because all the other clips, bar the last one, took place on the 25th rather than the 31st.
Stacey was a slapper but I liked her character thought the Slaters were a good bunch this was when Eastenders was good Den sleeping with Kates sister the script writers then were marvellous every episode was good Jamie Mitchal getting run over by Martin Fowler and Bill on the bongos at the church I grew up watching these episodes but they will never be this good 👍
The Christmas fall out with the watts and Zoe's baby secret is exposed as Sharon watts and Vicki leaves. The second Christmas encounter of little mo and Alfie moon
Yes but there's no blood relation. He was dirty dens biological child while Sharon was adopted. Still a bit strange though but there's been stranger pairings lol
Tbh I've stopped watching eastenders around 5yrs ago The first story lines aren't has good, loved the old characters from the start All soaps are just getting daft People go to the soap first day and second day they have a job etc etc just doesn't happen in real life at all I will go all my local shops and ask for a job There's no way I would get one PATHETIC
The actress who plays Zoe is too stuck up to return. The actress who plays Lynne has become a trainwreck. The OG actress who plays Belinda has also become a trainwreck (I dunno about the other one). The actress who plays little Mo doesn't mind coming back, but they didn't know what to do with her character after 2003 so if she returned, she'd be ruined. That's why the Slater sisters haven't reunited in 15+ years.

@@benreilly5951 how is domestic abuse funny in the slightest? You need your head testing mate & hard drive checked if you think that’s something to laugh at.

East-enders will never be this good again.
So true. It's rubbish now. I think it's fair to say that it's day is done
😥

Dirty Den is one of the best characters to ever grace the square…
mohammed ahmed I think Dirty Den and Angie in her grubby pink robe were the best double act to grace the Square; Kat and Alfie a close second.
He was a dirty dawg…and I loved him in EE. 💯
He is mr Albert square
“Shurrup and stay out of it” is probably the most profound thing ever said on EE 😆🤣
In Albert Square There Is No Such Thing As A Happy Christmas
Suzy truly was the greatest character to ever grace the square. The only person who ever get the upper hand over Archie and Phil
Least we got Eastenders to cheer us up!
All the best Christmas are from back in the day episodes

Chrissie was amazing would love for her to come back to the square
Yea i agree, it would be gd for chrissie to come bk. That would stir things up with sharon.
Ye and vs sharon again that be well good
I’ve always wanted a stalker storyline for Sharon and we don’t know who it is, until it’s revealed as either Chrissie or Angie (would love her to return, is it really unbelievable that Sharon could’ve helped her mum fake her death)
They’d just ruin her and make her a panto villain without a purpose
Fun fact: she’s auntie val on Friday night dinner
2002 Christmas was emotional 😢 2007 was very iconic
In Walford Square, 🎼it's the most dangerous time of the year .... 🎼

The best powerful Christmas scenes was the ending of tiffany Mitchell as the duff duff moment was when Frank returns and knock her down ( RIP TIFFANY)
Miss those days! Tiff was brilliant.
That was New Year’s Eve not Xmas
27.32 Jack - “It’s nothing to do with me…..”
This is the era i watched . Loved it
Why did they have to kill off Ronnie and Roxy 😪
Cause they were weird and boring
Roxy was such a shite character. Just shouted all the time
😢😢 I know
The weird producers that came for 6 months just decided to kill them off then he was fired
Could you not have waited until after dinner?
2009 the best Christmas episode
1 of the best Christmas TV showe ever xxxx
It took me a good ten minutes to work out this wasn't one episode but several "highlights" from several...
OG eastenders is iconic
I didn't really like it when Little Mo got it on with Alfie as he was Kat's guy.
Frank removing his glasses before getting out lol
Alfie and Mo smooching??? Wait. What???👁👄👁✨✨✨
They had a affair in 2005
It was only recently different races were the main storyline at Christmas. Good to see the progression. I remember Tiffany dying and being heartbroken
BIND US TOGETHER LORD WITH CHORDSTHAT CAN'T BE BROKEN
Merry Christmas EastEnders
That first woman could have someone’s eye out with those devil’s dumplings
Is that British slang for breasts?
@@thenightporter Sin Pillows
@@Hissing-Syd that sounds like slang for gay anal sex.
@@thenightporter Then that would be "pump the reeky dot" or "can I pump your reeky dot"

The first ever slater Christmas wedding of little mo and billy Mitchell but the duff duff moment goes out to Jamie Mitchell as he dies ( R.I.P Jamie)
Love watching these old scenes...brings it all back again...keep them coming..with the old and the new...
It was sad when Tiffany died I was 13 when this happened still remember
Just loving the memories..
Loved tiffany mitchell my heart will goes out to her
The baby at 23:25 is clearly a doll!
Clearly. You'd think they would at least by now have had a fake baby that moves and they'd have a fake cry. They would not even need to show the face.
The Christmas scenes of the residents of walford , including the turkey too
My favourite show in the whole wide world ❤
My second favourite
You must not watch alot of things
@@jamie6770 what’s your second favourite show
@@jamie6770 I do I just like eastenders
They didn’t exactly rush to phone an ambulance to help Tiff
Eastenders is simply the best xxxx
Eastenders' families make Jeremy Kyle's families look like the Royal Family.
Good old Pauline the best are gone naughty nick
Mary, Pete and kathy
Simon Sharon Ethel
Den and angie etc etc
Loved them all xx💐
Sharon is still here ….
And Kathy
thank you
i wonder if to get a part in eastenders you have to master the breathy whispery dramatic voice that most of the women have hahahahah

Gavin’s Dad! Michael!
The xmas episodes are not nearly as good now
I would Never want to spend Christmas in Albert Square, God forbid someone actually having a happy christmas for a change!!
Whoever put this together must love the early 00s. Tiffany’s death was new year not Christmas btw
It's still the Christmas season. Imagine this being your only thing to say on a video like this.

it’s keanu
Still going is it lol 😆 havnt watched TV in 6 years thing of the past now will probably die out when the generations mouve a few more times
Tiffany didn’t die at Christmas it was new years Eve .
Jeez... how depressing. Why can't they just have a nice Christmas??
Alfie & Little Mo? 😮
When it used to have big storylines big ratings.
Eat the turkey eat the turkey
9:00 my response to EVERYONE these days..
It's so formulaic.
One family has a fairytale Christmas.
Another has the Christmas from hell.
Then NYE is a total disaster with some kind of extreme violence and/or a main character unexpectedly ending up dead.

Really, death and taxes are less predictable.
Paulines house looks absolutely filthy.
It's such a car crash of a house, especially for a snob like Pauline. I wasn't a fan of her. Two words: uptight and arrogant.
Wasn't there a fire
That's why she was out every Friday night on a ladder scrubbing the brickwork's. 😂
6:41 I’ve seen Sonia’s 🐱
On Google images 👀😵💫👀😵💫👀
Christmas Day 1998 was so forgettable, that’s probably why they had to resort to showing the infamous New Year’s Eve special in its place because all the other clips, bar the last one, took place on the 25th rather than the 31st.

The first Christmas with the Mitchell's but it's was the start of Suzy branning stirring up trouble.
I haven't watched it for many years .bbc finished

Bout time they axed this program it was depressing back then and still is depressing today.
Yes totally depressing.. This popped up and got half way through and was like kill me now lol
Don’t watch it then
Hang on a sec. Sharon and dennis were brother and sister?! Or am i missing something??
By law not blood but they were raised together so it’s gross! Sharon was their foster daughter..
@@MsTinkerbelle87They weren't raised together either.

Abit weird the slater sisters and Kat daughter Zoey haven't return to see Kat be good they come back and reunite
