A Quick Thanks To Eastenders
February 26, 2026
This is a quick and short post to thank Eastenders for their recent coverage of three very important disability issues at different stages of life.
- Nugget’s epilepsy, caused by a tragic event, just beginning in his teenage years.
- Penny’s pregnancy, thankfully the result of a ‘normal’ romantic relationship (is there any such thing?). Sadly Jack initially reacted with concern related to her disability but thankfully he now seems to have changed his mind.
- Nigel’s dementia, in older age, which will eventually lead to his life ending.
Eastenders have made this disabled viewer feel very happy, included, wanted and welcomed in recent months. They deserve thanks and I look forward to seeing how all three storylines play out.
