Cultural Changes.

In the photo on the right is the year 2000 cast of Eastenders which shows only an interpretation of white culture society. British soaps are now more multi cultural to make the show more realistic and appealing to a wider audience   

As you can see in the second picture on the left taken at the NTA awards the cast of eastenders is a lot different that the original cast (racially) due to the fact of modern culture changing and that there is a very mixed society of people in modern society
