It’s on all day every day."If that’s ur thing I completely respect it."He continued: "I do dive in and watch bits here and there but it’s not for me."Sorry if that doesn’t fit ur agenda.

I will watch the funeral for sure."ARaybould6 typed: "If the only thing you have to worry about is temporarily missing a few episodes of some banal soap opera, then you are very lucky young man."If you are missing seeing your father so much try facetiming him."Shzdmalik tweeted: "Disgusting remark.Who cares about bloody miserable Eastenders?"I bet you don’t complain when football is on tv all day when the World Cup is on."Shane responded: "Why on earth would I complain when that’s happening ?" alongside a laughing emoji.Debsreynolds04.
