People couldn't deal with the heartbreak.

Tonight's episode featured the fallout from Monday's upsetting episode where it was revealed that Whitney Dean lost her baby to miscarriage. In Monday's edition, Lee Carter and his fiancé Whitney were dealt the striking blow of learning that they had lost their baby after Whitney experienced pain, bleeding and stomach cramps. Tonight saw the young couple struggle with the after effects of the heartbreaking news, with Whitney ultimately leaving Walford for Milton Keynes, where her adoptive mother Bianca Jackson lives.

Tonight also saw beloved couple Pam and Les Coker finally leaving Albert Square, with a touching goodbye to their grandson's boyfriend Ben Mitchell which also touched viewers. However, a shot of Ben back on a dating app on his phone angered people.

Eastenders with Ben and birdie was really touching, but ruined it by showing Ben looking at his phone. #EastEnders

I have a feeling Ben might become a sex addict now and end up with a serious illness. Typical EastEnders. #EastEnders
