Reading between the lines of Ned’s conversation with Mark, it almost sounded like Ned might be gay himself, which could explain why he was so determined to stop Ryder from going down the same path. #EastEnders

Anyone else wishing Ned Porteous was back playing Mark junior? 😭 #Eastenders

Not Nicola telling the doorman “check the ID for anyone who looks under the age of 25” while Ryder is standing there. These writers are trolling us 😂 #Eastenders

Missing Richard E. Grant. He brought wit, drama and actual personality. It feels a bit dull now. Some of these lot are giving us absolutely nothing but screen time. Hope they come out of their shells a bit instead of being quiet/playing it safe to stay. #CelebrityTraitors

Sorry but James Acaster is so boring, his whole “reluctant traitor” schtick is annoying. Just play the game with the card you got dealt with and stop ruining it for others who want to have fun with it. #CelebrityTraitors

Not the #EastEnders writers working overtime to convince us Ryder is 21 🤣 First he’s mocking Nicola for saying “phone”, then questioning a girl’s taste in 90s music… all while being played by a 32-year-old. They’re fighting for their lives to make this man seem Gen Z 💀😭
