EastEnders upped the raunch factor in Tuesday night’s episode as Shirley Carter (played by Linda Henry) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) were seen breaking into a hen party at E20.
At the nightclub, the women were surrounded by erotic dancers and the wild party was dimly lit, with loud music pumping through the room.
But some fans of the BBC show were baffled by the vast number of party-goers, as the event was held in broad daylight.
Many viewers questioned why the function would be held in the middle of the afternoon when some functions of this kind happen later in the evening.
On Twitter, one person wrote: “That nightclub in the Square, must be the only one in the country that opens in the day!”
Another viewer added: “Packed nightclub but it’s still daylight and the market is still open?”
A third commentator exclaimed: “AND IT’S DAY TIME OUTSIDE!!! What! I’m so confused.”
Others complained about Jean bringing Hayley’s (Katie Jarvis) baby to the seedy party, with one even demanding the person responsible for the script be sacked.
A show viewer raged: “Whoever is responsible for this storyline with a baby in a nightclub should be fired immediately!”
Someone else asked: “What would the lady from social services say if she saw Jean in the club with the baby in the pram?”
Meanwhile, a second person tweeted: “Seriously taking a baby into a night club, get a grip”.
Nevertheless, some viewers found the scene hilarious and took to social media to comment on the moment.
One fan declared: “That was one of the funniest moments in EastEnders that I’ve seen; the baby at the club with Jean.”
Another shared: “Haha aww baby Cherry giggling at the song in the club now that is cute.”
Somebody else begged: “Forget the Mel [Owen] storyline can we just have half an hour of the club with them strippers please.”
Although there were aspects of humour in the Jean plot, the Slater matriarch’s current predicament is anything but funny.
The grandmother was recently told by her doctor she is suffering from ovarian cancer, but needs to have further tests to be 100 percent sure.
She is yet to tell her loved ones about the devastating prognosis she received and has continued to live her life as normal.
Jean was previously diagnosed with bipolar, a condition which proved tasking for her on many occasions.
Now, she may have to face yet another challenge if the final result confirms her ovarian cancer diagnosis.
EastEnders continues Thursday on BBC One at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
