EastEnders viewers have been left annoyed after they were unable to watch the BBC One soap on the iPlayer this evening due to a last minute change in schedule.
Due to the fact that Wimbledon is airing on BBC One this evening, EastEnders has moved to BBC Two at 7.30pm instead.
Given that the soap airs every single week from Monday to Thursday on the iPlayer, confused fans were left scratching their heads when they went to watch the soap live this evening, but were met with Wimbledon coverage instead.
Taking to Twitter to share their frustrations over the matter, one viewer fumed: "Think it's right #Wimbledon now gets a primetime slot on BBC1 but surely #TheOneShow could get a week off. #EastEnders has rebounded a bit recently too so probably would be better airing tonight and tomorrow at 9pm instead of repeats rather than getting demoted to BBC2."
"Why is EastEnders always the show that is moved??? It's so irritating for fans," another echoed.
"Have been trying to figure out high and low why EastEnders isn't on BBC One now only to find out it's been pushed to BBCTWO and over WIMBLEDON! WHO ACTUALLY CARES," another complained.
While another EastEnders fan tweeted: "They need to just leave EastEnders alone on the schedule."
It comes as the BBC One soap is set to air big scenes this week, from two returns to a big decision, as well as a possible discovery.
Cindy Beale's recent return causes more drama in Walford, while those living there have yet to find out she's still alive, or that she's Rose Knight.
There's the return of soap legend Patrick Trueman too, but it's clear he is hiding something ahead of the return of his wife Yolande.
Another return of sorts sees a serial killer make contact, leaving one Walford resident very concerned.
There's panic for Chelsea Fox next week when her serial killer husband Gray Atkins makes contact from prison.
Chelsea is distracted as she receives a letter from Gray as Whitney prepares to throw a moving in party.
Gray was finally arrested last year after his two-year reign of terror, during which he murdered wife Chantelle, Tina Carter - who threatened to reveal the truth about Chantelle - and Kush Kazemi.
He attempted to strangle girlfriend Chelsea in March 2022 after discovering she was secretly recording his murder confession, but she managed to get away as the police arrived. What does Gray's letter to Chantelle say?
As well as that, Patrick Trueman is back in Walford this week - but it looks like he's hiding something from his loved ones.
The EastEnders legend, played by Rudolph Walker, left Albert Square to pursue his one true love Yolande, who he was married to back in 2004.
Yet when he arrives back at home, he's shocked to discover what's been going on with his family - including Denise's marriage hanging by a thread.
Stunned that no one has told him what's been happening, he's equally evasive when asked about his time with Yolande.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
