The EastEnders bus crash storyline shocked viewers this week but fans were left divided after Thursday's episode which showed the fall-out from the dramatic incident, which saw a double-decker bus plough into Albert Square.
Some viewers felt it was a little farfetched that everyone survived apart from the bus driver, who suffered a heart attack, especially since Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Martin Fowler (James Bye) got trapped under the bus.
Viewers took to Twitter to voice their discontent at the aftermath, with some deeming it "underwhelming" which another said "disaster week was pointless since no-one died".
I'm actually annoyed that no ones died in #Eastenders what a waste of a bus crash! 😂😂

How on earth has Martin and Whitney survived a bus running over them #EastEnders

Well the outcome of the past couple of episodes of Eastenders was completely underwhelming..

The bus crash on #EastEnders was well done & the episodes were great, but no one died? Just the driver? Weak. 😳

However, other fans of the BBC soap disagreed, saying they're "glad no-one died after that crazy week".
I'm well glad no one died after that crazy week of #Eastenders but well confused by Max. Like how could he have caused it?

Some viewers were appalled at how the episode ended, with Whitney kissing her father-in-law Mick (Danny Dyer) while in hospital.
#eastenders Whitney must have 0 respect for my baby girl L if she's smooching L's man while she's caring for her Ill mother

It takes longer to recover from a cold than it took Martin and Whitney to recover from being hit by a bus! @bbceastenders #EastEnders

So Martin and Whitney were stuck under a bus. One is up for a snog fest and the other is walking bout eating pastries. #Eastenders

Friday's episode of the show has been cancelled because of the FA Cup, so the drama will continue on EastEnders on Monday at 8pm.
