EastEnders has been hit by 'plot hole' criticism from viewers, as over night ratings for Christmas Day reveal that less than four million people tuned into watch the much hyped episode.
Airing much later than fans expected, the hour long special arrived late on in BBC One's schedule on Sunday, well after Strictly and directly after the festive episode of Call The Midwife. At the end of Friday's visit to Albert Square, viewers saw Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer, say 'I do' to scheming Janine Butcher, oblivious to the web of lies she'd spun about his ex wife Linda's apparent 'drink drive' crash, which she framed her for.
Janine's deceit was fully exposed, as many EastEnders scandals often are, round the Christmas dinner table as both Jada, who she'd blackmailed to try and get Linda sent to prison and her own daughter Scarlett both threw her under the bus, forcing her to flee, as Mick confessed to Linda that he was still very much in love with her.
