I agree. It’s nice to see Anne Charleston back. It’s completely absurd of course, but I kind of like that Jason Herbison isn’t afraid to lean into the ‘soapiness’ of the show.
Yeah its great and because it’s a soap quiet drama and far fetching storylines or makes it entertaining for me.
A brilliant tribute to Neighbours. The BBC has today revealed the new opening titles for Eastenders 2025 in the same style as the Neighbours opening titles back in 2004.

They’re ten hours behind so they’re only getting started. 
Eastenders posted a Neighnours style ‘new’ opening too.
That’s what j bar posted
Oh crap. I didnt see that as the video above is the Neighbours credits. Should have clicked the link 
The Eastenders opener is actually quite good.

Because you see the cast having fun and laughing which is nothing like the show itself.

To be fair im also back watching most episodes now.
I usually watch the Christmas episode on binge (rely on twitter to show the best scenes throughout the year to kind of follow the show), however this year i got sucked back in and have been watching it again. The writing and one liners have been hilarious. I do fast forward here and there. Some episodes i watch in 5 mins and others the whole episode.
However my point to this is, if Eastenders did those credits last year, i wouldnt know whos who, but I actually recognise all those characters and to see them “Neighbourly” is bizarre.

Just on the discussion of titles and themes. I’ve recently come across a tool and I may be able to post something a little cool soon….

Neighbours had responded by doing the intro in EastEnders style.
Nice callback to the opening titles used back in the eighties.
Are they just using the title cards OR are they playing Cricket in the street and breaking a window (of I assume Mrs Mangels house)
Could have made the street map a bit more accurate though. When they’ve filmed outdoors, there’s another cul-de-sac at the end of Ramsay Street on the opposite side of the main road. In the show itself, theyve said this was the rest of Ramsay Street with house numbers with the lower digits.

They’re just using the title card.
Erinborough map EastEnders style
Actual map of same area (Forest Hill)
Erinsborough Primary School = Forest Hill College
Erinsborough High School = Emmaus College
Erinsborough Industrial Estate = Nunawading Studios
Ramsay Street (Laing Court) is located near the top of the EastEnders style map, one block left of Box Avenue.
