It’s not the first time EastEnders has been scrapped in favour of another programme, but that didn’t stop viewers voicing their frustration online.
The BBC One soap won’t be aired until Monday at 8pm, with Spy in the Wild being shown at 7.30pm in its place, before Room 101 at 8.30pm.
One person posted: “@BBCOne EastEnders isn’t on tomorrow, what’s the reason? Football? No Spy in The World end of series! Bloody disgusting.”
“Why isn’t EastEnders on tomorrow?” a second then asked.
A third raged: “It’s becoming a joke that eastenders is never on Fridays anymore I already struggle without it on Wednesdays.”
“@BBCOne no eastenders tomorrow! Missus wants to know why…” a further social networker begged.
A different social media user shared: “@bbceastenders why isn’t eastenders on tomorrow Friday, football isn’t on so eastenders should be on,” as another questioned: “Was eastenders on last night or something? Cos it’s not on tomorrow night.”
Tomorrow’s missing episode isn’t the only thing that’s had people talking tonight, with them also hitting out at Kim Fox (played by Tameka Empson) for revealing her sister Denise’s (Diane Parish) traumatic baby secret to her class.
One person posted: “Kim deserved that, she’s treated Denise like absolute s**t, can’t stand her #EastEnders,” as another moaned: “Kim is so nasty #Eastenders.”
EastEnders continues on Monday night at 8pm on BBC One.
