EastEnders fans are angry with bosses over the death of two beloved characters.
As sisters Ronnie and Roxy prepared for Ronnie's wedding to Jack, there were signs that the day would end in a bad way. The night concluded with Roxy jumping into a swimming pool, with Ronnie close behind her - but neither made it out alive.
Despite knowing about their tragic death months in advance, viewers rushed to social media following the upsetting scenes to share their upset.
One viewer wrote: “@bbceastenders why do you always kill the best characters?? I’m never watching again”
While another blasted: “what is eastenders without ronnie n roxy though wtf”
“I swear I’m never watching EastEnders again," another upset fan added.
After the episode, actress Samantha Womack tweeted that she was "honestly broken".
Her co-star then added: "Thank you all for your lovely tweets. I don't really have words right now. But words will come.. in good time # R&R"
Bosses also promised an alternate ending, but it was delayed for over two hours to the anger of many fans .
BBC One Snapchat followers saw Ronnie in tears at the hospital, while another scene showed her sister lying motionless on the snooker table.
Roxy - who had recently turned to drugs - appears to have died from an overdose.
