FORGOTTEN: EastEnders fans thought a crucial storyline was forgotten about

Siblings in the should be worried, especially around the festive period.

Viewers saw plummet from the roof of the Queen Vic after trying to talk their dad, 'mad' Max Branning (Jake Wood) out of committing suicide.

While it seems Lauren is in the clear from the deathly plunge, the same can't be said for sister Abi, who was declared "brain-stem dead" by doctors in emotional scenes last week.

Their fall comes shortly before the first anniversary of the deaths of beloved EastEnders twosome (Samantha Womack and Rita Simons), with the pair tragically drowning on New Year's Day in 2017.

    While their unexpected deaths were one of the show's biggest talking points, fans were left less than impressed when no-one among the EastEnders cast seemed to notice, particularly the Mitchell family themselves.

    Cousins and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) were too caught up in Aidan Maguire's (Patrick Bergin) botched robbery, while Sharon (Letitia Dean) had a tea party at the cafe.

    Infuriated fans took to Twitter to slam the lack of Ronnie and Roxy tributes in last night's Twitter, with one passionate viewer writing: "A year has passed since the GREATEST INJUSTICE IN MODERN HISTORY."

    Another commented: "So Sharon is really going to attend a p*** up with the girls rather than even check in to see if Jack is okay? And even Phil hasn’t done or said ANYTHING about Ronnie and Roxy?"

    A third pointed out: "Ronnie and Roxy have been barely mentioned after their deaths."

    "We had the briefest of brief scenes about Ronnie and Roxy's death anniversary..two of the biggest characters the last 20 years in EastEnders," moaned a fourth.

    But Ronnie and Roxy's death wasn't totally ignored by the , with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) hosting a toast to the sisters in the R&R nightclub with Max.

    "It's hard to move on, isn't it?" he said, drinking straight from the bottle.

      Max, who then returned the deeds to the club, mentioned his own daughters, adding: "Revenge, it's not going to help me is it?

      "I don't need money, property, I just need my girls."

      EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.
