EastEnders fans were left complaining over "shaky" camera work during Thursday night's episode.The dramatic episodes saw Kathy's cafe go up in flames, with Bobby, Peter, and Rocky all inside, and it was in these scenes, with Kathy stuck outside, that fans said looked more like a news report than EastEnders, with shake camera movements and zoom-ins on characters. And as the scenes aired, fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts, with one complaining: "the camera work on #Eastenders tonight seems a bit wobbly." "What in the BBC breaking news bulletin was this camera work #eastenders #kathy" added another.
