| At last a chinese girl in eastenders! shame she has to be only selling videos though - a bit of a stereotype. Still she's very pretty and hopefully we'll see more of her in the future. the directors must have been reading all the BBC threads recently! |

To be fair, all of the occupations you see in eastenders can be fitted into a certain stereotype if you look hard enough. Most of them are dead end jobs anyway, and it would have been worse to see her in a market stall, or for the ultimate historical fallback, working at the laundrette! |

Looks like she was just an extra and yes stereotyped into selling DVD's. Thought she'd have more of a part seeing as it looked like Mickey had taken a shine to her, shame.
Only one gripe about Eastenders, where's the Chinese family run take away? |

Well the whole show is a cliche isn't it, with people in their stereotypical roles, so I thought why not? They've had the Italians running a restaurant, the Indians DJ, dodgy dad and market stall, so when are we going to be represented?
Thought they could have a Chinese family turn up and buy Beales chippy |
