When Mi
Oops! Sorry! What I was trying to say is that when Mike was on the show with Pat - i felt that East Enders was at one of its pinnacles. The acting was first class and the dynamic between the two was fabulous. Mike Reid's acting will be sorely missed along with his comic and happy attitude. Ed
