Obama mentioned on British Soap Opera Eastenders

[FunkyLeprechaun]

A British Soap Opera. This is what I remember:

It involves a wee scene with Stacey Slater, one of the main characters is on the couch being mopy and her mum comes in.

Mum: Stacey??? Why aren't you at work?

Stacey: Because I'm ill.

Mum: *feels her head* You're not hot, are you ok?

Stacey: I can tell when I'm becoming ill!!

Mum: Get up! Enjoy the day!

(Stacey gets dressed, and then leaves the house, with her mum walking after her)

Mum: You can go to work! Like that President Barack Obama says, "Yes We Can!" (with glee in her body language and voice)


My eyes just about popped out of their sockets when I saw Obama was mentioned on this British soap opera. I don't know if there'll be video, but I'll try to see if I can find it (EastEnders has a channel on YouTube, the episode above is from today's episode).

If you are in the UK at this moment, EastEnders repeats at 10 pm GMT on BBC Three.

3. WHAT? Eastenders has a youtube channel?

I watched it for 15 years and then they took it off our teevee. I have to check this youtube channel out.

thanks.:hi:

4. Yes

But it seems that they do historic clips rather than clips from recent shows. Let me see if I can find what I mentioned above now.
