EastEnders fans slam ‘worst episode’ as seven residents leave Walford in huge twist
EastEnders bosses switched things up with a Father's Day tribute that doesn't seem to have landed well - fans have branded the latest episode "boring" and "beyond cringe"
EastEnders fans were unimpressed with the Father’s Day tribute episode.
Viewers branded the programme the “worst episode of the year” as they struggled to comprehend why the BBC soap aired a “strange” fishing episode on Monday (17 June), which gave nods to Father’s Day and the Euro 2024 action.
Fans are normally happy to tuck into the latest dose of the soap which is set in familiar Walford. But instead, they tuned in to witness seven actors flee the hustle and bustle of Albert Square in exchange for a remote lake setting.
The programme switch-up didn’t prove to be very popular among fans, who took to X to complain. Many claimed the episode was “rubbish”. One user said: “#eastenders what in the name of rubbish is this episode!”
