As part of the culture forum I would like to start a thread about soaps that we are watching and some of the issues they are raising. The current issue in Eastenders where Kat, who is fit and probably great in bed, is married to ‘no backbone’ Alfie and they run the pub together. Kat has cheated on Alfie on a number of occasions and even had a child from another man whilst they were married, which Alfie has accepted. Alfie now is allowing her to go out with other men and he does not mind. What sort of man would do that?
