I don't know why people are all for "Chryed" in my opinion the whole thing is just as bad as the Max/Stacey affair which I know you can't really compare to. But still Syed had an affair and lied to his whole family, so for me I just cannot warm up to this relationship. I think that for them to get together would be wrong purely because it is prime example of Adultery and deceit.
I don't find them sweet at all, they may be in love and they may share a few "awwww" scenes together but it still doesn't excuse the nitty gritty facts
1. Syed is still CHEATING! It doesn't matter that he doesn't want to be with Amira, the fact is he is and so he is still therefor betraying her.
2. He is contradicting his own beleifs
3. He was going behind his families backs and lying to them!
In my opinion after the first Kiss which was on Syed's behalf, Christian should have backed off a bit instead of allowing Syed to persue... they weren't in love then, they fell in love afterwards. Christian knew the moment it all became complicated and so he should have broken it off with Syed instead of allowing his heart to get broken later on down the road.
I just hope that their affair doesn't continue, and if it does then we need to see the ramifications of what would happen because in a Muslim society something like this for Syed would be pretty hard to deal with as he risks loosing everything. Its not so simple.
You slate Syed for lying to his family and everyone but you also said how hard it would be for him in a muslim society if everyone found out.If lying is what it takes for him to keep his family and be a tiny bit happy then I am not sure what other choice he has. Obviously Syed is completely torn in all sorts of directions! He is torn between the man he really truly loves , if he wants a relationship with him then his mother and possibly the rest of his family disown him.
I don't agree with the cheating but to be fair he is only doing it with everybodys best interests at heart at the end of the day. I know that sounds stupid but hes with Amira to keep everyone else happy even though its making him unhappy. This is a very very complicated situation and its not just black and white. Syed is being punished for who he is , its a sad fact but theres nothing he can really do without breaking some hearts which he has tried to avoid. I can see Syed becoming depressed in his life to be honest and knowing Eastenders I don't see a happy ending. I could actually see Syed taking his own life but I don't think they will go down that route tbh.
Its completely unfair to compare Chryed to Stax! Stacey and Max was all about sex , Stacey only did it to get back at Bradley and he only slept with her because he wanted some sex. Although you can argue that Stax became deeper than sex after a while but its a completely different situation to Christian/Syed where Syed is gay and has no sexual feelings for Amira at all.
This is actually a very controversial topic throughout forums and public opinion ! Some people feel really strongly about the different aspects which is to be expected with such a complicated storyline!
