EastEnders fans rage about ‘continuous blunder' on soap as they beg bosses ‘sort it out' – did you spot it?

As hard as the soap actors try, there is one aspect of their job that has seriously gotten on the wrong side of BBC One viewers. 6 EastEnders fans were left raging at producers for a continuous blunder on the soap Credit: BBC 6 A recent scene shown on the show has raised serious questions amongst viewers Credit: BBC 6 Soap enthusiasts have claimed that often the cups in the cafe are completely empty Credit: BBC If the residents of Walford are not sinking back pints in the Vic, they are often seen drinking tea at Kathy's Cafe ... or are they? EastEnders fans have claimed that when some characters are seen with a hot drink either at home or in the 'caf', they are in fact just taking in air from empty cups or mugs. One recent scene saw Phil (Steve McFadden) making George Knight (Colin Salmon) a comforting cuppa in his kitchen. However, the mugs which were meant to have hot drinks appeared to be completely clear of any drink. Fans took to social media fan forum site Reddit in their droves where they fumed at the prop mishap in a thread titled 'Empty Cups!'. One fan wrote: "Dunno if anyone else here can not stand when the actors clearly give someone an empty cup pretending it's a full cup of tea or in the cafe, an empty takeaway cup! "Why can't they just put an actual drink in it! It is one of my biggest pet peeves watching soaps." The soap enthusiast added: "Ben Wadey, sort it out please! " Other fans seemed to completely agree as they flooded the post with affirming comments. An additional user noted: "The way they throw around their clearly empty cups like they're so light and don't need to worry about spillages drives me insane also." Kat Moon takes over the Queen Vic: A new era in EastEnders "Glad it's not just me," stated a third viewer. As a fourth fan insisted: "It is indeed not just you. It's so easily solved, too, it's ridiculous that no one has done this basic stage prep. I'm hoping that changes now with the new regime." While someone else claimed: "Even just water in a cup would make it more believable." This was as a sixth exclaimed: "YES! It's bothered me for so many years, just put some liquid in there! The fake drinking acting is always so obvious." Pointing one particular scene with former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Patsy Palmer, another watcher added: "The scene where Bianca was drinking tea when Reiss snuck back into the house anniversary week drove me mental. "No disrespect to Patsy as she's a top notch actor, but she was CLEARLY swallowing air and the mug completely empty while she was gingerly putting it down." 6 Viewers have claimed some of the hot drink mugs are completely empty as the actors are left just drinking air Credit: BBC 6 One fan was left fuming as Patsy Palmer's mug was completely empty Credit: BBC 6 A social media user on Reddit took issue with the way the prop was handled by bosses Credit: BBC EastEnders continues on BBC One and is available on iPlayer.
