EastEnders fans have been left fuming after Ben Mitchell continues to make false promises to his daughter Lexi.
On Monday's episode (May 22), Ben told Lexi that her dying mum Lola Pearce-Brown will be there for her first day at school, which isn't true as she is due to pass away this week.
BBC viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the show.

One said: "Ben making Lexi promises he can't keep # EastEnders "
A second added: "Lola can barely lift her head off the pillow and Ben wants her to go where? Ben is being beyond selfish. He’s not thinking of Lola. #Lola #EastEnders"
While a third penned: "Ben that was very gun ho. No gentle chat, almost angry It’s a Terrible situation when you can’t help a loved one get better. But you must care for those who are going to be left behind too #EastEnders"
"Ben’s been down this road of trying to get alternative treatment for Lola better even though it won’t do anything. It’ll only end in heartbreak like last time 🙁 #EastEnders" a fourth posted.
A fifth put: "Sorry but that scene between Lexi and Ben was selfish. Ben is in denial and cannot accept that Lola is dying and can't accept professional help himself so he's offering his daughter false hope. Fully proving he isn't fit to look after Lexi #EastEnders"
"OMG literally can NOT believe Ben actually just did that seriously. Poor Lexi. Really wasn't his decision. Like Jay said this is all about Lola's choice's now.
"The last ones she'll ever make sadly. Her, Ben, Jay & Cal should of sat Lexi down & told her together #EastEnders"
However, one viewer stood up for Ben and added: "Poor Ben, he's never gona be able to accept the harsh reality sadly. Still desperately tryna seek potentially new treatments in America. He needs to forget that & concentrate on being there for Lexi & Lola's heartbreaking final moments. To say goodbye & he loves her #Eastenders"
