EASTENDERS fans were left utterly enraged by a 'continuous blunder' on the soap.
As hard as the soap actors try, there is one aspect of their job that has seriously gotten on the wrong side of BBC One viewers.

If the residents of Walford are not sinking back pints in the Vic, they are often seen drinking tea at Kathy's Cafe ... or are they?
EastEnders fans have claimed that when some characters are seen with a hot drink either at home or in the 'caf', they are in fact just taking in air from empty cups or mugs.
One recent scene saw Phil (Steve McFadden) making George Knight (Colin Salmon) a comforting cuppa in his kitchen.
However, the mugs which were meant to have hot drinks appeared to be completely clear of any drink.
Fans took to social media fan forum site Reddit in their droves where they fumed at the prop mishap in a thread titled 'Empty Cups!'.
One fan wrote: "Dunno if anyone else here can not stand when the actors clearly give someone an empty cup pretending it's a full cup of tea or in the cafe, an empty takeaway cup!
"Why can't they just put an actual drink in it! It is one of my biggest pet peeves watching soaps."
The soap enthusiast added: "Ben Wadey, sort it out please! "
Other fans seemed to completely agree as they flooded the post with affirming comments.
An additional user noted: "The way they throw around their clearly empty cups like they're so light and don't need to worry about spillages drives me insane also."

"Glad it's not just me," stated a third viewer.
As a fourth fan insisted: "It is indeed not just you. It's so easily solved, too, it's ridiculous that no one has done this basic stage prep. I'm hoping that changes now with the new regime."
While someone else claimed: "Even just water in a cup would make it more believable."
This was as a sixth exclaimed: "YES! It's bothered me for so many years, just put some liquid in there! The fake drinking acting is always so obvious."
Pointing one particular scene with former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Patsy Palmer, another watcher added: "The scene where Bianca was drinking tea when Reiss snuck back into the house anniversary week drove me mental.
"No disrespect to Patsy as she's a top notch actor, but she was CLEARLY swallowing air and the mug completely empty while she was gingerly putting it down."

British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look
BECK TO BASICS British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REMEMBER when we used to laugh at German blokes on holiday? You could spot them a mile off, with their mullets, vests, questionable moustaches, beer bellies and skimpy swimwear. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 12 Follow David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt and pleated linen trousers Credit: The Mega Agency 12 Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them Credit: Getty 12 Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes Credit: Getty Well, now they are laughing at us because while they discovered style, we stole their look and made it worse by adding football shirts and Crocs. Germans now cut a dash with their stylish minimalism. The French embody effortless chic. The Italians and Spanish dress with cool Latin style. We, meanwhile, have become the poorly dressed man of Europe. British men have forgotten how to dress for the sun and stock our summer wardrobes with football shirts, muscle tees, bucket hats, skinny jeans, ¾-length trackies and oversized sunglasses. Our identity crisis is a national disgrace. On Spanish beaches our kids don't bury us in the sand because it's fun. They bury us because they're embarrassed by us, like cats burying their mess. Not so long ago, summer used to be a stress-free affair for men of my age — I'm 55. On beaches we disappeared into the background, unnoticeable behind expanding midriffs and cloaks of matted body hair. We sat behind windbreaks, vests on, knotted hankies on head, trousers rolled up, reading the Racing Post. I'm a men's fashion expert - these style mistakes are ruining your look and could even damage expensive items No one expected anything of us. Women fretted about swimwear while we were allowed to gracefully surrender into middle-age spread. We only had two beach role models, Peter Stringfellow with his thong, and David Hasselhoff, who spent half the 1980s sucking in his stomach and the other half driving a talking car. But today more is expected of us. Blame social media if you want. The world has moved on. Men are expected to care more about how they dress. But in the UK it seems we didn't get the memo and while Europeans got more stylish, British blokes spun off at a tangent, like a divergent timeline in Marvel's Loki series. But you can do better. Some men try to break the mould, but get led astray trying to emulate celebrity role models. 12 Timothée Chalamet in cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble Credit: BackGrid 12 Ryan Gosling makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos Credit: Getty 12 Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City Credit: Getty Timothée Chalamet can get away with his cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble because he's Timothée Chalamet — but you are not. Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them. And despite what the fashion mags tell you, bold matching tops and trousers do not look good on men over 25. Just look at Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City earlier this month. If a Hollywood superstar can't pull it off, you definitely can't. There are celebrity outliers, however. Take some pointers from Ryan Gosling, who makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos, or David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt, pleated linen trousers and white trainers, or slightly more daring, Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes. Now we are re-establishing better relations with our continental brethren, it's time to smarten up our act — and the good news is, it's not hard. How do I know? Because I did it. I too was once like you, a hopeless summer fashion victim. I wore cargo shorts, West Ham footie shirts pulled over my dad-bod beer belly, and athleisure sandals. My swimwear of choice was below the knee board shorts. 12 The Sun's Nick is all set for summer Credit: Supplied On one holiday to the South of France I flirted with budgie smugglers after a traumatic experience in a French open-air swimming pool where board shorts were banned. I didn't realise and was frog-marched from the pool by lifeguards who made me purchase tight trunks from a vending machine. Walking back into the pool in my tiny new Lycra swimwear was like the walk of shame in Game Of Thrones. Today a 5-inch inseam is as daring as I get (which is good style advice for any man). My fashion salvation happened after I met a younger, stylish woman, who is now my wife. Stephanie, 45, knocked me into shape and taught me how to dress. It didn't take a lot of effort and I even get compliments occasionally from my 23-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son. So, as you head off for your hols, take a few tips from me. Ditch the football shirts, no one in Mykonos cares about Burnley FC. Ditch anything with big logos on it. Wear leather sandals or espadrilles. Choose linen or seersucker short-sleeved shirts. You can't go wrong with a polo shirt and tailored shorts in neutral palettes. Replace your battered baseball cap with a Panama hat. Treat yourself to some understated sunglasses. Bodies should get some attention too. Before 2006, we could get away with a hairy dad bod, but then the film Casino Royale hit the big screen, and when Daniel Craig emerged from the sea like God chiselled from marble he ruined it for all of us. Now we're expected to look presentable in swimwear. So, get your back waxed, manscape your chest hair. Have a fake tan, but don't go mad. Ask for a light one. Get your eyebrows shaped and tinted. It's not unusual any more and makes a big difference, I promise. No one is going to think any less of you. Maybe swap a pint for a glass of rosé occasionally, or a mojito. Just a few small tweaks and the new stylish you will fit right in on beaches from the Costas to the Greek islands. Make the UK cool again, just don't mention Brexit.

Hollyoaks confirms unexpected new love interest for Clare Devine in dark story
Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) ups the ante in Hollyoaks next week as part of her plan to get Tori (Harriet O'Shea) back in her life – and she uses Dodger Savage (Danny Mac) in order to do so. The legendary schemer, who has done some pretty bad things in her time, stated earlier this week that she had been diagnosed with cancer, claiming the treatment isn't working. In typical Clare fashion, there is no truth to such claims and the development came rather out of the blue, with the villain devising the plan after a trip to the hospital to visit sister Grace Black (Tamara Wall). Upon seeing patients receiving treatment, she formulated a plan, hoping she could use her cancer claims as a way to manipulate herself back into daughter Tori's life. Dodger, who had been hostile towards Clare previously over her role in the exploitation operation, softened once she stated that she had cancer. Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), however, knew full well that Clare was up to no good, urging her brother to proceed with caution where the returnee is concerned. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Clare subsequently asked Dodger for help in shaving her head – and he complied, with a spark seemingly forming between the two. Determined to get Tori back, Clare capitalises on this growing connection next week, with new pictures shared with Metro revealing a first look at the scenes to come. Dodger stumbles upon Clare in a seemingly weakened state and, horrified, he offers to lend a hand. With the undercover cop falling for her lies almost instantly, Clare is delighted and thus she proceeds with the next step of her plan, which entails making him feel very guilty over taking Tori from her given her condition.

Afterwards, a heart-to-heart ensues, with Clare stating that she simply believed Alistair (Drew Cain) was having an affair – not that he was a hardened criminal involved in exploitation. The pair grow incredibly close but a phone call interrupts them, scuppering Clare's plot. For now. More Trending Ever the opportunist, the schemer concocts a plan to get Dodger over to the flat later in the week. Dodger apologises for thinking she had a role to play in her late husband's crimes. The chemistry sizzles and Dodger starts to worry that the lines are getting blurred as he comes to realise that he's starting to fall for Clare. Will Clare succeed in getting what she wants? Or will Dodger see through her lies before it's too late? View More » Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.
