Fans are upset and confused about adjusting to this new schedule. Additionally, recent episodes included major changes, including the deaths of popular characters, which has further added to viewers' frustration.

The show covers many challenging topics and has won the Best British Soap award twice, in 2014 and 2019. It started with 15 characters and now features over 50 regular cast members, with Nick Pickard being the longest-serving actor.
