EASTENDERS fans have taken aim at one legendary character after insisting the soap has ruined her with a slew of bizarre outbursts.
Long-time viewers of the BBC soap aren’t happy with the direction that the show has taken one character in.
Bianca Jackson, played by Patsy Palmer, has made a return to EastEnders over the past few weeks to play the gobby and feisty Walford woman once again.
She first came back to Walford to see her adoptive daughter Whitney Dean as she prepared to wed Zack Hudson and give birth to their child.
Bianca didn’t want to miss out on the chance to be with Whitney during the precious time although their relationship soon fractured amid lies and deceit.
Thankfully, they managed to patch things up after Bianca helped to expose Zack’s cheating betrayal but it soon meant she was left alone after Whitney fled Walford for good in the wake of the consistent lies.
Bianca has taken up work at the cafe and has largely been shown to be a nuisance to Reiss Colwell over the past few weeks.
She has enjoyed teasing the boyfriend of Sonia and breaking rank in order to poke fun at him whenever she can get the chance.
This week, Bianca couldn’t wipe the smirk off her face as she relished in belittiling Reiss and makink him feel inadequate as he headed to a job interview.
Later, during a chat with a drunken Bianca and Kat, Reiss admitted that he had missed out on the job after Bianca got into her head.
It saw Bianca mock him once again before they became embroiled in heated discussion.
But fans aren’t happy with consistently seeing the EastEnders legend’s nasty streak and have suggested that it is ruining the credibility of her legacy character.
Commenting online, one fan said: “I’ve not been wild about this return overall.
“She was good in the first few weeks like when she reached out to Bernie but for a while now they have really dialed up her unpleasant side and it feels quite reductive and the scene of her and Kat laughing at Reiss was sadly reminiscent of how they used to treat Tamwar and Mr. Lister.”
Another went on to say: “The fact that they are making Bianca somewhat detestable is a red flag for me.
“You would think she would have been a bit more mature by now.
“She’s a grandmother now so its not fun to see her act like a mean girl. Even if Reiss does annoy people.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “Bianca is jealous of Reiss ‘ intelligence, his maths skills if nothing else, tbh and it manifests itself as bullying.”
