Welcome to my personal top 10 Moments of 1986. This year of EastEnders was fantastic and SO hard to narrow it down to just 10 moments. Please comment below some of your top moments of this year!
The original actor who played Mark (David Scarboro) left because the show wanted to have Mark be a racist, and he refused to do a scene where he berates Kelvin in a racist rant, so EE fired him. Then the UK press hounded him, even when he was in a psychiatric hospital, so he left hospital and killed himself. Very very sad!
Good choice for number one. I know many will argue the Den and Angie scene was better, but i was 6 years old, i watched this with my mum and we both found his breakdown and smashing up the place hilarious. (Yeah, she does share the same warped sense of humour as me and i suspect that's where i inherited it from lol)
I will say i am surprised you didn't include Angie's OD in there, but obviously it's your personal opinion which is fair enough. I'd also like to have seen the scene where Tony returns i think durin the Easter parade with a cut lip and it's implied he has dealt with the abusive guy his wife was living with.
I will admit i loved Andy's death, it gave me that shock feeling, in the same way i felt the previous year first seeing Annie murdered in Halloween, I was 6 and i 'd never seen a soap character die before, only people in films, god i loved that.
1986 belonged to Den & Angie. I don’t think Corrie could compete with EastEnders in 1986, even with the Rovers fire and Kevin & Sally’s wedding. Jan had been a voice on the phone for so long, so we were as intrigued as Angie to see what she was like, which led to some marvellous set pieces. Andy & Debs were irritating, Andy was nice but just eye candy for the ladies, even appearing with his top off a few times, remember his fling with Angie then Den squirted the soda siphon down his pants on Halloween night 😂 RIP Ross 😢 All good choices, but I’d have included Angie’s overdose following that fantastic showdown with Jan in the Vic kitchen, The Banned performing Something Outta Nothing, and I’d have put Den & Angie’s two hander at #1. Best episode ever, electrifying acting and some great lines. Cos I hung on like a bloody limpet, you b*st*rd! That blue fluffy dressing gown lol.
Thanks, they were all great. Omg, I've been watching Eastenders for over 40 years. 😆 🤣 😂
It hasn't been running for 40 years 😂

He was a stunningly good looking actor and very quiet and reserved.
RIP original Mark actor 😔

Really interested to see you do a countdown for 2019, as I think that's the best year of EE so far!
Out of every single year it’s one of the worst years in eastenders
@@warrenbyrne3551 You really think so? I'd say that every year since 2005 has been considerably worse!
2019 will come eventually. I'm going in year order so might be awhile!
@@RandomUploads-ch3bh 2009 -2012 -2016 beg to differ
Love Eastenders..
The actor who played Mark wasn't having issues, he was taking drugs.
No. He was tormented by the media.
