BBC One EastEnders Share By Entertainment Daily Feb 23 2018 By Entertainment Daily Feb 23 2018 EastEnders fans aren’t very happy with scriptwriters at the moment and have accused the BBC soap of repeating storylines. Upset TV watchers reacted angrily when the Taylors’ dog Bronson ate a chess piece – Ted Murray’s white Queen, no less. Bronson was the unwitting cause of numerous complaints (Credit: BBC) One fan even accused scriptwriters for the long-running serial drama of “not being bothered”. On Thursday night’s hour-long episode (22 February), Bernadette Taylor was seen pleading with Patrick Trueman for help after discovering that her family dog had eaten a chess piece.

One angry Twitter fan blasted: “A dog swallows a ring then a dog swallows a chess piece. It is honestly like the storyliners can’t be bothered. There’s pointless Aiden and his constant money obsession, dog poo chess piece and a pregnant friend of a minor character that was in the show for 6 months almost 8 years ago. Sort it out.” It is honestly like the storyliners can’t be bothered.
