''EastEnders'' is a popular [[Soap Opera]] on [[The BBC]], created as a competitor to [[ITV]]'s ''[[Coronation Street]]''. Since 1985, it has followed the lives of the inhabitants of Walford, a fictional district in the East End of London. Renowned for the absolute misery it inflicts on the characters, [[Soapland Christmas|especially during the]] [[Christmas Episode|Christmas season]].

* [[Accidental Murder]]: Two notable examples being the death of Saskia Duncan by Steve Owen using an ash tray to defend himself and more recently the death of Heather Trott by Ben Mitchell using a photo frame. Both examples also involved a cover up.

* [[Crapsack World]]: Crappier than the crappiest crap that a crap did when it took a crap in a bush, in winter! Every week someone is either murdered, having an affair, in trouble with the law, in trouble with the tax man, hurting their children; you would go mad from depression. You wouldn't go near Walford with a ten foot barge pole, with crap on the end!

* [[Death Is Cheap]] Dirty Den, or Grant Mitchell for who it is not so much cheap, as buy one, get one free...

* [[Depending on the Writer]]: One of the factors some consider part of the show's more surreal evolution is the occasionally extreme swings in characterization. Perhaps some of the best examples are Phil Mitchell or Janine Butcher, who can switch between rough-edged but somewhat humanized [[Jerkass]] types or completely ruthless borderline psychopaths who will revert to any monsterous tactics for their own self gain.

* [[Domestic Abuse]]: Several storylines have focused on this. The early 2000s saw a notable one between "Little Mo" Mitchell and her husband Trevor, which ended in spectacular fashion with Mo being sent to jail when she finally tried to defend herself by hitting Trevor over the head with an iron.
