Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As usual ,characters looking at a problem the wrong way. Penny worried about Gina having to move out while surely Vinny in his 30s with money etc should have his own place that they can move to ?

Ciaran Wallace💙 (@oldbencjw) reportedWatching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup
-
sam oconnor (@Sweetpea_Babies) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Please can you do something about the Wimbledon coverage in the late evening. It's been the same every day around 9pm...the coverage disappears and we have to scramble around iPlayer trying to locate the match...tonight it's the turn of Dimitrov. Help!!
-
Derek Bell (@derek2bell) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer A huge number of people on buying a newspaper turn straight to the back page. Sports news is news, the worst thing is how much is excluded. They should do a separate sports news programme - 15 minutes every night - covering all aspects of all sports
-
Emmett Moore (@emmettmoore12) reportedAnyone else having problems with the @BBCiPlayer app? It's freezing all the time and useless on live streams for the #worldcup
-
Rkin (@RKin3333) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's not enough to "work on" a good death for all. Delivery is already long overdue. If the government is not committing to funding it now, it isn't going to be provided for those who need it now or 5 years hence or even 10 years hence.

Peach pie (@C25802878) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Courtroom scenes were awful why is he not in the dock, he wouldn’t be standing next to his barrister, his solicitor is randomly at the back of the room addressing the Judge when he wouldn’t be allowed to as there’s a barrister.. definitely get a legal advisor to assist next time
-
Jerome Tucker (@jeromejazzy) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Just finished watching. For the love of god get rid of all 3. Oscar,Jasmine & Josh. They’ve taken acting to a new low. AWFUL!

… (@LiverIron99) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Reeks of den watts 2.0 So desperate to relieve the glory days forgetting all the actual character work that went into why max and Stacey worked
-
melaniebelle (@melaniebelle808) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I don't buy this relationship at all. Why would Lauren bother with this bozo with everything that she has going on in her life? The scriptwriters seem to be going with a 'like father, like daughter' line. But it doesn't work for me.
-
Amelia Jackson (@AmeliaJackson4) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Awful characters
-

Jean Dorothy Pedder 💙 (Hudson) (@leanjeanp) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Right.. I don’t recall, I can’t remember, I wasn’t aware, I didn’t spend much time in my kitchen, I never visited my mother in law, I never checked the funds despite warnings of issues, I never suspected Peter blah blah.. I know nothing!
-
Donna (@Donna14634857) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I’ve watched EE from day dot, since NY it’s the worst it’s ever been. Far fetched, ridiculous story lines that just don’t make sense or wouldn’t happen or far fetched it’s laughable , boring, more miserable than it ever was.

-
lordclifton 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@lordclifton2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why aren’t they at the Airport police station? Why is arrested Sheila arriving at the front entrance like that? The show is so poorly written these days and terrible continuity I may have to quit after 41 years.
-
Mick minas your host with the most (@MOVIESTVMAD) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So do prison storylines work?

-
Stevie83 (@stevie80con) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Lauren takes after her dad. Can’t help herself.
-
High-paid maid. (@No1denthygiene) reported@AnnaCollinson @BBCiPlayer The problem these parents will run into is when they signed the IVF consent form it stated that they allow the clinic to select the donor. The profiles shown to them were marketing material *only*. The policy of clinic-led selection was not made clear to them.
-
Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire 🐿 (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭
-
Joe Mcdonald (@JoeMcdonald1980) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This might be the worst thing I have ever seen
-
Jason Moulton (@JasonMo95527460) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Ravi's car crash - rolled multiple times, all four occupants in and out of AE within an hour, with only a small plaster on Pryia's noggin. Ian reverses into a child at 0.000001 mph, boy is paralysed.
-
BISONS (@BISONS1973) reported@bbclaurak @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Awful interview
-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As long as it’s doesn’t include those twins and Oscar….bloody awful actors and storylines. They’ve ruined this soap for months.
-
christine watson (@christinew11474) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I can understand Eve wanting to get back at Nicola but what has George done to her. He'd be the one who'd be in trouble if it came out he let Eddie die not Nicola.
-
Lee Millard (@onein300) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We just need it regulated and the awful status quo rectified.
