EastEnders fans raged 'sort it out!' after two glaring blunders on the BBC soap 'drove them insane'.
The popular soap has now been running for 40 years - but despite how long producers have had to get it right, a couple of errors still sometimes slip through.
A particularly egregious one fans have spotted recently came when the great and the good of Walford were, of all things, having a cuppa.
Eagle-eyed viewers have claimed before that whenever the residents of Albert Square have a hot drink, whether at home or in Kathy's Cafe, there is never anything in the mug.
One recent scene, for example, saw Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) make his friend George Knight (Colin Salmon) a comforting cup of tea.
But the sweet moment was rather ruined when fans spotted there was neither water, nor milk, nor a teabag in the mug - but instead simply air.
The second of the soap's major blunders in recent times was less a repeat offence and more a one-time mistake.
One of the latest episodes saw actress Jessie Wallace, who plays the iconic Kat Slater, make a slight faux pas.
The scene saw the character, who has been on the show since 2000, tick off her troublemaker teenage son Tommy (Sonny Kendall).
The laidback young lad brushed off her stern words by saying, 'Chill out, love', after which Kat, shocked at his cheek, repeated, 'Love?'
Actress Jessie, 53, is of solid London stock, born in the north London borough of Enfield.
But as she uttered this particular line, fans were convinced she briefly lapsed into a northern accent.
Both the mug mishap and the accent accident have seen viewers rush to internet forums in their droves to point them out and debrief.
Discussion site Reddit has a dedicated thread, titled 'Empty Cups!', devoted just to discussing the hot drink issue.
One person wrote: 'Don't know if anyone else here cannot 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. Ben Wadey [EastEnders' executive producer], sort it out please!'
Other fans were just as peeved, glad someone had finally said it.
Another chimed in: '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.'
Someone else said: 'Yes! It's bothered me for so many years, just put some liquid in there! The fake drinking acting is always so obvious.'
One commenter agreed: 'Even just water in a cup would make it more believable.'
Some fans, though also annoyed, could see why the producers might have made this choice though: 'Same, it sort of bugs me too.
'I guess it means that nobody will have drink marks around their mouth. Poses less of a health and safety risk I guess [than] if someone spills something all over the floor.'
Commenters on X, meanwhile, were more preoccupied with Jessie's accent misadventures.
One said, amused: 'Absolutely obsessed with Kat going northern.'
A reply to the post read: 'No because why did she do this? He didn't even say it like that.'
Another agreed: 'I thought it was a really odd way to repeat the word. He's not northern, she isn't. Cute though.'
Someone else said: 'Pat Phoenix's spirit returning to Jessie Wallace for a split second in 2025.'
They were referring to Jessie playing legendary actress Pat Phoenix in The Road to Coronation Street, a 2010 dramatisation of the creation of the iconic ITV soap.
Pat played Elsie Tanner from the series' inception in 1960 to 1973, before returning to the cobbles from 1976 to 1984.
It comes after EastEnders icon Zoe Slater - the daughter of Jessie's character Kat - made a bombshell return to the BBC soap after 20 years away.
The character - played by Michelle Ryan, 40, and best known for her iconic 'You ain't my mother!' moment - made her first appearance in Monday's episode.
Viewers will see Zoe in two further episodes this week but she will be back full-time this summer, as Kat prepares to tie the knot with Alfie Moon for the third time.
Zoe was seen as a mystery figure throughout Monday's episode, with her face finally revealed during its closing moments, after her return was kept under wraps.
Actress Michelle said: 'It feels like coming home. After doing my first few scenes, it was like I'd never been away. It all happened at the right time.
'I'd already been thinking about a return because I'd met up with Kacey Ainsworth (Little Mo) and Kim Medcalf (Sam Mitchell) and we were reminiscing our fond memories of the show.
'And I'd also joined social media and saw that there was still a lot of love for the character.
'It just so happened that at the same time, EastEnders had announced a new Exec who was keen to explore the potential of a return as he was such a massive fan of Zoe and the Slaters.
'So, both of our worlds aligned at the right time and I'm so excited to be back.
'When I was pitched the storylines and when I read the scripts, I knew it was the right decision.'
EastEnders' new boss Ben Wadey said: 'Before I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wish-list of returnees as.
'Although we haven't seen her on screen for twenty years, her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines.'
It has been revealed that since Zoe's exit from Walford 20 years ago, she has become estranged from Kat.
Teasing her character's reason to come back to Albert Square, Michelle added: 'I can't say too much as there is a lot of drama to come but Zoe is a mess.
'She's not the girl that left Walford 20 years ago and she's been really struggling on her own.
'She has her defences up, but this week you will see that she needs help, but whether she is willing to accept it is another story.'
EastEnders is available to watch on BBC One and to stream on iPlayer.
