Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans spot gaffe in Hayley Slater's hospital dash
...Good point!
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 6th Nov 2018 Last updated 6th Nov 2018
EastEnders viewers have been left baffled after last night's episode (5th Nov) saw Hayley Slater run out of hospital with her baby. In terrifying scenes during the Halloween episode (30th Oct), Hayley was left to give birth on her own - and the soap ended with her willing her baby to take its first breath.
Thankfully, viewers breathed a sigh of relief after Hayley was taken to hospital and her baby was revived during Friday's episode (2nd Nov). However, some eagle-eyed viewers remembered that Hayley had been taken into hospital at night - so the sky was dark when she then tried to escape the hospital with her baby at the end of the show.
But when she then emerged at the hospital entrance last night, it was broad daylight - leaving many to question how big the hospital must be if it took all night for her to leave! Many took to Twitter to air their confusion.
One wrote, 'I can't stop thinking about how long it took for Hayley to leave the hospital,' as another added, 'So it took Hayley all weekend to escape the hospital. Walford General must be the size of the TARDIS if this was the case,' and another commented, 'Took Hayley the whole weekend to get out the hospital.'
