Yup, the popular soap was cancelled last night, following the World Cup clash between Argentina and Switzerland going into extra time.

Being as they were on tenterhooks waiting to see whether Hot Dean (aka Shirley's son) and Linda Carter would get it on for her birthday, plenty were left VERY upset by the sudden change in schedule.
Carol McGiffin angrily tweeted: "What????? No sodding #EastEnders until sodding Thursday because of the sodding football???? Sod off sodding BBC!"
Another user added that she was "outraged", while one more, rather panicky sounding user, asked Twitter at large: "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?! [sic]"
One particularly peeved person added: "Really not happy at all. I spent all day getting excited and it gets cancelled. The BBC needs to sort it out better…"
There were plenty more aggravated comments - some of which are too rude for us to repeat here.
