EastEnders fans were left reeling with anger as tonight’s BBC soap came to an end five minutes earlier than expected.
Viewers rushed to Twitter to share their frustration after the show was only on for 20 minutes instead of its usual 25 – with no notice as to why.
But viewers were fed up and took to their personal Twitter accounts to share their views on the shorter episodes.
One viewer wrote: “@bbceastenders bit s**t that eastenders isnt on longer,u just start to get in to it and it finishes,what’s the point in watching it.come EASTENDERS get back to being on longer.”

Another said: “#EastEnders not b long till were down to 10 min shows at this rate.”
A third tweeted: “Eastenders lasted 20 minutes tonight. Soon it will be down to 2.”
“Why is EastEnders so short now?” Asked another.
Tonight’s episode saw Ian Beale threaten Max Branning that if he pestered him for his money he would tell Albert Square about Max’s new affair with Linda Carter.

In last night’s episode, Ian walked in on Max and Linda kissing for the very first time.
And in true Ian Beale style, he tried to blackmail Max with it but it ended horribly for him.
While in a giant freezer Max came along and locked Ian inside the box as he stood outside and listened to Ian panic.
Deciding against killing him, he opened the freezer door, pushed Ian to the floor and stood on his chest as he threatened him back.
A panicked Ian begged for his life as he promised Max that he would keep his mouth shut on the affair with Linda.
Desperate for money, Ian then hit a new low as he stole money out of his son’s foundation for his daughter Lucy.
The account had £20,000 in it and Ian took no time to decide he was going to send it to Max instead of charity.
EastEnders continues on Thursday at 7.35pm on BBC One.
