Ethnicity In A TV Drama

I have chosen to look at Eastenders as a t.v drama.  One of the ethenic groups within Eastenders is Zainabs family who are Muslims.  They are represented as an average day to day family within the show except within their house they encounter many problems.  For example one of the sons Syed is gay and this is not acceptable within the Muslim Community and so his family disown him as their son as they do not want him to be like this, even though he cannot help what he is.  As they follow the way of Allah they feel they must not let him into their life which is sad as he is a nice person but it is their religion which they feel they must follow more than anything else.  The mother Zainab is quite a fierce and strict woman, which helps to keep her family in line, the father Massood is represented as a nice guy and hardly ever gets angry but when he does he sticks to his point and never really backs down, and the other son Tamwar is represented as a normal teenager with normal teenage problems and his real goal is just to have a girlfriend.
