EastEnders viewers are calling out repulsive habits and recurring themes on Albert Square. And these include distorted morals and messy households. Many feel the show often crosses the line. Do you agree that some of these soap traditions have finally gone too far? Keep scrolling to learn more.
Fans Are Pointing Out Several Household And Hygiene Horrors
Viewers are pointing out the unrealistic number of people sharing small terraced houses. Also, massive families use a single kitchen and bathroom. Hence, the perceived grime levels in these homes are a major talking point. Many fans are also complaining about characters leaving milk and white wine sitting out on tables for hours.
Even the families of eight share a single pint of milk, which would never last through a real breakfast. Many are furious when they see characters wearing outdoor shoes on their beds or throughout the house. Also, the lack of a shoes-off rule in the Slater or Mitchelll household has grimmed fans.
They also slammed the soap for Joey Branning and Lauren’s romance as they were cousins. For them, it’s the most uncomfortable storyline to date. As we know, Joey was initially dating Lauren’s best friend Lucy Beale. However, soon Lauren and Joey began a secret relationship. After a joyriding accident, their secret was exposed. The two were fleeing Walford together in a car stolen from Derek. However, Lauren lost control and crashed into a shop. Fans are pointing out many other soap horrors too. Let’s have a look at them.
What EastEnders Viewers Are Saying On Reddit

And constantly eating out at the cafe and pub on minimum wage jobs.” Another added, “Constantly calling women tarts/cows/[insert other misogynist insult]” While someone wrote, “Drinking straight vodka as though that’s how it’s meant to be drunk.
