EASTENDERS fans have been left raging at the show’s writers for an abysmal new plot at The Queen Vic.
Viewers of the BBC soap opera have been left perplexed at the revelation that three brand new characters will be setting up home at the pub.
They will consist of pub landlord George’s son Junior and his wife Monique, and their son, Xavier
Junior has found himself in Albert Square after coming face-to-face with his dad at an illegal boxing match.
They have an atypical father-son relationship and have barely seen each other in recent years.
However, in a bid to get to know the rest of the Knight clan, including his step-mum Elaine and her daughter Linda, a bit better – an offer is extended for Junior to move into the pub.
That being said, his family soon also move into the home too in an attempt to see if they can play happy families.
But it has left fans raging at the abysmal decision as they pointed out one major, unavoidable flaw.
With the addition of the three new family members, it now means that a grand total of ELEVEN Walford residents will be squeezed into the three-bedroom flat above the pub.
In total, residing there is expected to be Linda and her three children, adult lawyer Johnny, and her two younger kids, Ollie, who is autistic, and Annie, her mum Elaine and partner George, his two mind-20s children Gina and Anna as well as the three new additions.
Pub floor-plans appear to show that the upstairs flat contains just three bedrooms.
Eagle-eyed EastEnders viewers know that Linda has the absolute luxury of owing a whole bedroom to herself as she is regularly seen in there alone as well as using the room to conceal her Keanu Taylor murder weapon.
It indicates that ten people, consisting of seven adults, are now all sharing two bedrooms each.
One fan could not believe it as they shared a list of all the family members set to be holed-up inside the East End pub as they declared: “The abysmal vic has too many people living there from next week.”
Another fan went on to write:” Elaine saying Juniors whole family can move in, in what tardis are they all sleeping?”
Someone else questioned: “Are they setting up tents downstairs or something? there’s no way all those people can fit in the rooms upstairs in The Vic.”
After previously no-showing adoptive grandmother Gloria’s memorial, Junior arrives in Walford to spend time with his sisters in scenes yet to air.
In upcoming scenes, George starts to feel left out when he sees his three children bonding in the Queen Vic.
This moment is soon interrupted by the arrival of Junior’s secret family, wife Monique and son Xavier.
Although the Knights are delighted to meet and bond with Junior’s family, it’s clear tensions remain between him and George when Junior makes his excuses to leave.
Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) reasons they can move into The Vic, and Junior agrees to stick around, after some persuasion from half-sister Gina (Francesca Henry).
