    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.

    @liam_barnett @BBCiPlayer Yeh im with you on this, cut the fighting out and we have a safe environment, but unfortunately people see the ultra culture as the problem, I know lots of folk that hate what they do, like I say, cut the trouble out and it'll ve fantastic

    @Phantomthe55th @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer I don't wish to judge but, if you are a baptised Protestant who believes there are two Gods, you could be in serious trouble on judgement day. You are guilty of the serious sin of heresy. God bless.

    @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Invading the pitch isn’t the issue, the retaliation from Huns was the issue. 100% of the blame like with the Ibrox club and they need to do better in the future

    @scottspeig @BBCiPlayer It will be a rights issue. Sky+ (or other DVR) and then watch when you like as I did.

    @0MNIXXX @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer And they are optional - you click "skip" if you don't want to see it. Utter tripe from ppl with no other issues in their lives. Pathetic.

    @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is beautiful but a terrible actor, she either shouts or mumbles most of the time. And of course she has another disaster this week, she's always doomed!

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Alfie leaving to visit Spencer. Hopefully he brings him back with him. As for Jake, he can’t keep hiding what he did to Danny forever. Also it looks like Jake maybe getting cold feet about Chrissie. But he wants to fix things #Eastenders
