S☀apnut (@soapnut48) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ben Wadey has ruined this show, Michelle Ryan has been treated appallingly 🤬 Nobody can blame her for quitting, her stories and scripts are terrible.

I know nothing!

FRAGSTAR (@Fragstar00) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer The problem with flash forward episodes is when you have the cliff hanger like this we all know he's not going to prison or anything like that because 6 months from now he's the best man at Max's wedding. I mean come on, write better.
-
Justyn Spooner (@justynjj) reported@ITVX can you get the dev team to sort out your streaming quality. It makes your service look terrible especially for the @FIFAWorldCup @BBCiPlayer are years ahead of you in quality.

Daz 💯 Make Tweeting Great Again 💙 (@Daz_Gizmo) reported@DazzMetalFlame @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer The main problem was the lack of emotion with the cast knowing Honey was missing and held hostage. Diabolical...

-
Nathan Jarvis (@MrNJ39) reported@BBCiPlayer @BBC Can you watch World Cup football in UHD on the iPlayer using fire tv. It works via the iPlayer app on my Samsung TV but not my 4K Fire TV device? Is it broken? A lot of people are saying the same in forums
-
Paul Buckley (@inspiredlanky) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer Awful competition. Are the BBC that desperate for sports content that it ends up showing this?
-
Shannon 👩❤️💋👨💞 (@Shannon79053723) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Honestly, Ian has been a far better son to Kathy over the years than Ben ever was. Whatever Ian's faults, he's consistently been there for her. Ben turned out far more like Phil. A lot of his worst traits.
