EastEnders fans spot glaring error following Zoe shooting

What day is it anyway?

Fans of EastEnders were have been left baffled following what seems to be a glaring continuity error in last night’s EastEnders (Monday, September 8). With the residents of Walford in a state of shock after Zoe‘s shooting, the events of last week have been the talk of the town.

As Jack and Ravi attempted to cover their tracks with a series of hushed phone calls and illicit meetings, Zoe struggled with mum Kat’s sudden return to her life.

But wait… should that be the events of last night? Or September 1st? With the majority of last week’s episodes unfolding over one fateful night, when in the world did Monday’s episode take place?

EastEnders fans are entirely confused.

Soap ‘confirms’ date of Zoe shooting in Jack and Ravi scenes

In last night’s episode, Phil confirmed that Zoe’s shooting occurred ‘last night’ in Walford. With Patrick and Yolande’s wedding having taken place on September 1, then this should make the date Tuesday, September 2.

However, a shot of Jack‘s phone later revealed the date to be September 8. To add to the confusion, the date on Zoe’s phone read September 1.

So which one was it?

Taking to social media in the wake of last night’s episode, fans registered their confusion at this continuity error.

“Phil just said “someone was shot last night” despite Jack’s phone confirming it’s September 8th. And we know the wedding was the 1st,” wrote one fan on X.

“it’s supposed to be the day after the shooting so 2nd September, but Jack’s phone said the 8th and Zoe’s said the 1st,” said another.

“it is Tuesday 2nd September,” a third pointed out bluntly.

“It’s supposed to be the day after the shooting so 2nd September, but Jack’s phone said the 8th and Zoe’s said the 1st,” a fourth said on Reddit.
