* [[Metaphorgotten]]: Honey is so stupid she's always getting well known metaphors wrong.
* [[Monochrome Casting]]: The East End hasn't been this white in nearly half a century.
* [[Mutually Fictional]]: In Eastenders, [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] is fictional (Bradley goes to a Doctor Who Convention). In the Doctor Who episode "The Impossible Planet", it's vice versa (the Doctor refers to "This is gonna be the best Christmas Walford's ever had!" as an example of [[Tempting Fate]]; the [[Show Within a Show]] piece with Peggy telling Dirty Den's ghost to get out).
* [[My Local]]: The Queen Victoria Public House.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Billy Mitchell and Billie Jackson, Big Mo and Little Mo, Tiffany Mitchell and Tiffany Dean. Both Billies are current characters, the Mos joined the show at the same time, and are grandmother and granddaughter, while Tiffany Dean [[Justified Trope|was named after]] Tiffany Mitchell. There's bound to be other examples in such a [[Long Runner]].
Line 132:
** The Ferreira family's exits began when the actor playing Dan, who is an Indian citizen, ran into problems with his permit to work in the UK.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Pretty much every female Slater (even Lynne [[Hollywood Homely|for some reason]]), Roxy Mitchell, Bianca (but not anymore), Kim Fox (she'd like you to think so anyway), Lauren Branning.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: played straight with Jack and Michael, the owners of the boxing club and childhood friends - Jack is aggressive and passionate, wears his heart on his sleeve and exudes a serious and intimidating demeanour. On the other hand we have Michael, who is almost constantly calm and collected (even when being beaten to a pulp) and seems to enjoy a good laugh yet remains dead inside, hording secrets and lying compulsively as he happily sets he sets his [[Xanatos Gambit|Gambits]] in motion. Accordingly, whilst they both wear black suits, Jack wears [[Orange -Blue Contrast|orange]] shirts with the top button undone whilst Michael wears [[Orange -Blue Contrast|lavender]] shirts with a tie.
* [[Role Ending Misdemeanor]]: Notably Leslie Grantham (Den Watts) because of his cybersex scandal, but other actors have been suspended after arrests or drunken misbehaviour.
* [[Scandalgate]]: In the mid-1990s, the show ran a storyline nicknamed "Sharongate" where Sharon confessed to cheating on one of the infamous Mitchell brothers with the other brother.
