EastEnders is really hitting fans with the hard-hitting storylines of late.
Last week, we had the
nerve-wracking plot about a row over recycling bins.

Then, in last night's episode, there was a plot about...a parking fine.

Yes, that's right: the story revolved around Kim Fox getting a summons for illegal parking in bus lanes and disabled spots - having stolen Donna's permit - and her partner Vincent discovering the news.
Riveting stuff, eh?
Sure enough, frustrated soap fans were quick to pile in with sneers and abuse:

Others tried to see the lighter side of the plot:

This fan raised a good point:

It's a trying time to be an
EastEnders fan: over the last few days,
details emerged of the plans to permanently write Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell out of the show.
Stay strong, guys.
