EastEnders fans are venting their fury online as Honey Mitchell continues to fall for villainous Bea Pollard’s dangerous lies. Viewers flooded social media to slam the controversial storyline.
The users have been calling Honey’s extreme naivety highly unrealistic after Bea already stole her identity and put her family in debt. Many feel the writers have completely rewritten the character just to force unnecessary drama. Meanwhile, here are the main discussion points from the fanbase.
Viewers React To Honey’s Naivety
Fans of the BBC soap have confessed that they are on the verge of turning off the show b because Honey keeps defending a liar over her own husband. Many of them believe that Honey has always been an eternal optimist who easily gets manipulated.
However, others insist that she has never been this foolish. Elsewhere, a few viewers pointed out that Honey’s current battle with perimenopause brain fog makes her the perfect target for Bea’s scams.
Hence, frustrated fans desperately hope that Honey will see through the cloned voice note. They noted that Billy would never pay Bea to leave if he actually tried to sleep with her.
As we know, Bea had claimed that Billy tried to sleep with her and it looks like Honey had believed her friend’s claim over her husband’s innocence.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “Seriously why is Honey being so stupid? Defending Bea who she barely knows and who stole money from her, over her husband, whom she’s known for years?? So unrealistic. It’s obvious Bea is trouble. Another added, “Yeah, Honey is really thick. It’s annoying that she’s being written as just being kind. If she were actually kind, she’d respect Billy first.”
A third wrote, “The writing is so bad. They made Honey go from generally dumb af to completely retarded. It’s not realistic in the slightest. I even took a 2-month break from the show as it was getting boring. Come back, and nothing has changed.”
“I genuinely think that Honey is written as a very naive character who doesn’t understand a lot of tech and she certainly doesn’t understand how malevolent some people can be. Way, way too trusting. I don’t think it would occur to her to question what she can hear sounding like Billy’s voice saying the things she is most afraid of hearing from him,” said one.
Elsewhere, someone commented, “She is very naive, but she also has extreme brain fog and other symptoms from perimenopause, and is being scammed by someone who is taking advantage of her.” Meanwhile, do you think Honey has been naive lately?
