EastEnders fans spot apparent continuity error - did Whitney really wait all night at Walford East Station?

Whitney dad or night EastEnders

EastEnders fans left wondering whether it's day or night as it appears Whitney waited overnight

EastEnders fans were baffled when it appeared to go from night to day in a matter of minutes during the latest episode.

Viewers watched as Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) said goodbye to her friend Stacey Fowler (Lacey Turner) at the Walford East Tube station before heading off to Spain with Woody Woodward (Lee Ryan).

Stacey left the station and walked into the darkness, their farewell having happened during the evening.

Minutes later, in the next scene, Whitney was still waiting for Woody to arrive to meet her before discovering a note he had left for her there, telling her she should stay in Walford.

However, while it was unclear how much time had passed, it was visibly much lighter and seemed to be daytime, suggesting that she had waited overnight in the Tube station.
