You know at 35:15 where Nigel was coming in happy talking to Frank Butcher in the pub and Frank decided to ask Nigel to do one favour dyeing his sock and Nigel decided to dye his sock and do a scheme in Dot's Bathroom and things got messed up in December 1992 was Nigel already a buffoon here or was he still dodgy and sleazy and you remember Nigel when he was first came back in March 1992 when does he gradually changed into a loveable buffoon was it in late 1992 or early 1993 and which month exactly mate.
You remember back in March 1992 Nigel Bates first came he was quite different as a wide boy started out as a wide boy and a bit of a player and quite dodgy and a wheeler dealer and a creep sleaze. But here at 35:13 where he was talking to Frank Butcher in the pub and Frank made Nigel an offer by giving him some pair of socks and Nigel end up doding sock scheme in Dot's Bathroom by dyeing his sock and things got messed up thanks to Frank who tricked him but here was Nigel Bates already a loveable buffoon or was he still dodgy and sleazy here and remember when he gradually changed into a loveable buffoon and took away his sleazy and dodgy remind me do you know.
You know at 35:13 where Nigel spoke with Frank Butcher at the pub before Frank tricked Nigel into doing selling sock scheme and Nigel decides to dye his sock for a scheme in Dot's Bathroom and things got messed up in December 1992 was Nigel already a buffoon here or was he still dodgy and sleazy there well.
@@chadyepipia8383 By December 1992, he was becoming a buffoon by then but still had a small part of his dodgy side. From March to September 1992 when he was a recurring character he was dodgy, a wheeler dealer Del Boy type who was not to be trusted, and was sleazy. In October 1992 he said he knew Jason Cox so must have known him from before, as by October 1992 he was losing his dodgy edge.
@@Uksoapfan Okay I see now so it was October 1992 he lost his dodgy side and he became a loveable buffoon we all know him as then. So in December 1992 he was a buffoon we all know him as but he wasn't dodgy anymore but what about sleazy was he still in December 1992 in early 1993 I remember he tried to flirt with a few ladies during the football match where Aiden was playing so he must of been mixed with comedy and sleazy before taking away his sleazy if I'm correct let me know about when his sleazy was taken away my final question mate.
@@chadyepipia8383 He was still a bit sleazy into 1993, I say about Feb or March 1993 he finally stopped and became a buffoon who ran the video shop and dated Debbie.
@Uksoapfan Oh okay now it makes perfect sense now Nigel was changed a few times starting with end of Sept/ October 1992 he lost his dodgy side/ wide boy and he lost his confidence and in November/December 1992 he gradually became a buffoon but still with a sleazy and until early 1993 his sleazy was gone but he was just officially a buffoon took away his sleazy before he met Debbie. Now I understand it's like how Barry Evans got developed later on. Nigel and Barry developed are very similar and similar arc and even Billy Mitchell and Minty are also similar to Nigel and Barry too and Lofty a bit by the way Debbie first came in May 1993 on Nigel's birthday and now that makes sense thank you now I get it.
No joking, this was THE show to watch from the 80s and through the 90s. Corrie, Brookside, Emerdale couldn't touch it. Now it's a different story, but I'll always have fond memories of growing up with this banger. ❤
Yeah mate you know at 35:15 where Nigel was talking to Clyde and then he was speaking to Frank Butcher in the pub and Frank decided to ask Nigel for an offer since Nigel said he does a bit of business like selling and staff and Frank ask him to dye some sock scheme and Nigel dyed the sock in Dot's Bathroom and things got messed but was Nigel Bates already a loveable buffoon here or was he still a wide boy, wheeler dealer, dodgy and sleazy but you remember his early appearances when he first started off as a wide boy and a bit of a player and quite dodgy and a wheeler dealer and a creep sleaze back in March 1992. Do you remember when he gradually changed into a loveable buffoon and took away his sleazy and dodgy exactly what month exactly.
@@howardbellinfante9976 I never watched Brookside but was it actually good and the only soaps I watched was EastEnders, Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. But Neighbours and home and away I used to but not anymore.
Hated more like he was a pest to them in some way or another. Was comedic gold when he was living in the vic and potman before he got back in the car lot.
Do best of Nigel Bates early appearances it would be quite interesting one I would like to see it get uploaded. You guys remember when Nigel first came back in March 1992 as a wide boy and a bit of a player and quite dodgy and a wheeler dealer and a creep sleaze and he did a bit of business with Grant and sometimes with Phil but his early appearances is very similar to Barry Evans how he first started out. But do you guys remember when did Nigel gradually changed into a loveable buffoon and which month and year exactly took away his sleazy and dodgy and at 35:13 when Nigel was talking to Frank at the pub where Frank made Nigel an offer by giving him some pair of socks and Nigel end up dyeing his sock in Dot's Bathroom and doing a scheme and things got messed up this was aired in December 1992 but was Nigel Bates already a loveable buffoon here or was he still a wide boy, wheeler dealer, dodgy and sleazy well anybody know.
Wish EastEnders was still like this ❤

Old school Frank, a very brave man as he fronted up to anyone and everyone.

One of the best characters ever. RIP Mike Reid
Golden age of Eastenders with Frank ❤
Facts proper Eastender 😁
He looks like a Japanese sniper in those glasses 😮 ! HAHA WHAT A LINE 😂

Brookside was better
@@howardbellinfante9976 I never watched Brookside but was it actually good and the only soaps I watched was EastEnders, Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. But Neighbours and home and away I used to but not anymore.
@howardbellinfante9976 really gonna s***post on a soap thread? 😄 come on, mate.
The only man the Mitchell brothers RESPECTED
Hated more like he was a pest to them in some way or another. Was comedic gold when he was living in the vic and potman before he got back in the car lot.
THE best charecter on eastenders - stopped watching it when he left
'Turn it in will ya, for Christ sake, what ya got me down as, some sort of doughnut'
