Dcale (@dcale80) reported@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.

Ó Murchadha (@OMurchadha61) reported@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.

Paul R (@SilentHitoshura) reported@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

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

Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported@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

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@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!

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@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

Westie (@Wee_Westie29) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Alfie leaving to visit Spencer. Hopefully he brings him back with him.
