the first time. Syed Masood, a Muslim (Marc Elliot)
struggles with his sexuality and faith. During Friday’s
episode, Masood kissed openly gay character Christian

According
to unofficial figures reported in The Guardian, the
kiss on Friday propelled EastEnders to an average
of 7.6 million viewers and a 38% percent share between
8 and 8:30 p.m. The number of viewers peaked at 7.9
million in the final 15 minutes of the episode, when
the kiss took place.
Last
month, when the plotline was revealed, Muslim leaders
attacked the direction.
"There's
a lack of understanding of Muslims already and I think
EastEnders really lost an opportunity to present a
normal friendly Muslim character to the British public,”
Asghar Bokhari of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee
told the BBC.
