Some EastEnders viewers were left rather confused on Monday when Janine Butcher got hired to work behind the bar of the iconic Queen Victoria.
After being left to manage things on her own, Frankie Lewis was evidently struggling with the responsibilities of running a pub single-handily.
Luckily for Frankie, Janine was on hand to help – and not long after the infamous character was offered a position to work in the Queen Vic.
But although many viewers welcomed the concept, some believed it happened rather quickly without any question of hours or salary being mentioned.
Sharing their views on the social media platform Twitter, EastEnders fans aired their thoughts.

One fan penned: “Janine hired – no discussion of salary!”, while another questioned: “How can Frankie do the hiring and firing?”
But although some viewers were a bit confused by the scenes, several others loved the fact that Janine was back behind the bar.
Taking to Twitter again viewers aired their thoughts.

“Give Janine the Vic thanks besties,” one fan chimed.
Another said: “Quick Janine change those locks on those doors on the Queen Victoria Pub so the Carter’s don’t come back & Ruin everything again.”
Meanwhile a third wrote: “LOVE Janine working in the Vic again.”
Later on in the programme, Sharon Watts made a quick stop in the pub but was left feeling startled when she saw Janine standing behind the bar.

Feeling rather shocked by it all, Sharon said: “You have got to be kidding!”
Janine replied: “Did no one tell you that they were hiring?
“They wanted someone with a face that wouldn’t scare off the customers.”
Sharon then chimed: “Anything to impress daddy, eh. I’m sure even up there he’s embarrassed. Reeks of desperation.”
But Janine moved the conversation on quickly and made reference to the fact that she had previously slept with Sharon’s brother Zack.
She said: “Your brother was impressed last night, one to one gym session. He knows how to get a girl panting.
“Who’s the last person that got you panting Sharon?
“Was it pensioner Mitchell or did Beale make you squeal?” She questioned.
Clearly feeling unimpressed with her remarks, Sharon told Janine to forget the drinks as she made her sharp exit.
