EastEnders viewers were left divided at Karen and Mitch’s socially-distanced kiss in last night’s episode (Tuesday, September 29).
In the episode, Mitch joined Karen to choose a photo for their daughter, Chantelle’s, funeral.

Of course, at the moment actors can’t actually kiss. So the shot was done using perspex glass to make it look like the two were having an intimate moment.
But some fans weren’t impressed with the socially-distanced kiss.
That kiss was so fake. Mitch, Karen #Eastenders

EastEnders: Socially distanced kiss
Karen and Mitch’s kiss wasn’t the only socially distanced kiss in the show last night.
That was a funny kiss between Karen and Mitch.
In the episode, Stuart and Rainie’s wedding day didn’t quite go to plan when Stuart ended up getting locked in the hearse.
As they missed their wedding, they decided to get married on the Square with Stuart still locked in the car.
When they were told they were married, the two ended up kissing with the car window in between them.
EastEnders: What’s next for Karen and Mitch?
As Karen and Mitch started kissing, Chantelle’s husband Gray walked in on them.
Later this week Mitch will be left devastated when Gray turns the tables on him.
The solicitor tells Mitch that he was a terrible father to Chantelle, leaving Mitch devastated.

Will the truth about Gray’s abuse towards Chantelle ever come out?
