    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I've been wanting Zoe back for 20 years. I am stunned at how badly its been done. She's been bloody awful, and this storyline is so ******* dull Between this and Suki and eve adopting off the back of Suki trying to groom and manipulate A CHILD into having a baby Im switching off

    @GillianMacMSP @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer Hi, I think it’s awful so much people are traveling for non essential reasons during a climate crisis. So many by car I’d like your thoughts

    @DavidOlusoga @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer Thank you for the series. With secondary school history of mostly the Tudors, I needed this to help me understand the deep complexities of the British Empire. Using the complexity of your own heritage was not just personal but a perfect example to complete the series πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    @faisalislam @BBCiPlayer AI is not the panacea you seem to think it is. As with IT, mistakes and/or sloppy construction will proliferate & cause a similar amount of trouble. Be careful what you wish for...

    @DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer Yes its brilliant. The only thing I take issue with is that no women actually go to metal detectorist clubs

    I’ve watched a load of Murder 24/7 episodes over the past few days. My god, if I didn’t know it before I really am a bad judge of character! Brilliant series which I’m guessing is on the @BBCiPlayer I cried, was shocked & just genuinely am in awe of the work that the police do.

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer like even if we take what Eves mum said about her being like a hurricane, running away from her issues, etc. Eve has matured a lot since then. She's only vanished a few times and that was early on. I do think a child would iron out those creases and mature her even more. Suki will be a manipulative mum, watch this space, she'll end up taking full control, running eves name into the ground. why do I think this? Suki didn't discuss with her partner about Avanis pregnancy it was only until Eve figured it out and the news floored her. Suki won't of changed much in a handful of months, in this regard.

    @bbctms your Ashes commentary last night was fantastic! Thank you. But the TV package on @BBCiPlayer was awful. It was missing β€˜the’ theme tune, the pacing was all wrong (way too fast), and there was no informative commentary or interviews. Time to end the TikTok vibe, please.

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lets hope so, Eve is fine, she'd be a great mum. It's Suki that's the problem, with everything she's done in the past, no kid is safe with her. Recently she's very manipulative, she's failed pretty much all her kids, she doesn't need to **** up another innocent childs life.
