EastEnders viewers OUTRAGED as they spot major Queen Vic collapse plot hole
EASTENDERS fans are always quick to spot a blunder and last night was no different, as they pointed out a major "plot hole" as Mick Carter's Queen Vic was vandalised, visited by a scary inspector and sprung a fresh leak that could close the pub for good.

EastEnders viewers OUTRAGED as they spot major Queen Vic collapse plot hole
The inspector visited the pub during last night's instalment and as she was due to leave, she tripped over a bucket, which ensured she discovered a leak in the ceiling.
It was left to charming Mick (played by Danny Dyer) to explain away the leak, saying: "You know how old this place is!"
However, viewers could not help but notice that the whole thing was a little bit unbelievable.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that the pub was only renovated a couple of years ago after it burnt down by Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).

You know how old this place is!
One viewer posted on Twitter: "The Vic old? It only got rebuilt post Phil burning it down a few years ago #EastEnders."
Another commented: "@bbceastenders The Vic ceiling must have been renewed the last tie the gaff was torched? #eastenders."
A third joked: "@EastEndersPress #eastenders #badscript the vic burnt down in 2010 and had a total refurb why is it leaking after 6 years? #10yearwarranty."
One witty fan noted that there is a possible motive behind the questionable leak, tweeting: "I can smell an insurance job!!! Tenner says mick torches the Vic #logit #eastenders."
The leak looked bad, but viewers were confused how the pub got that way
Will the pub get closed down?
Elsewhere in Albert Square, Denise (Diane Parish) had a very public fight with Keegan (Zack Morris).
Whitney (Shona McGarty) also received some bad news that she could no longer rent her flat without her husband, Lee Carter (Danny-Boy Hatchard).
A representative from EastEnders has been contacted by Express.co.uk for a comment.
EastEnders continues Thursday on BBC One at 7:30pm.
