They just seem to be happening every episode now. I find it really detracting. The cliff hangers have gotten better, but it's like the characters are holding a moment of silence every time before we hear the duff duffs.
![]() Is it more the editors fault? Leaving the end reactions too long before the duffs? Or is it just me?

They're trying to create tension so that the cliffhanger will stick in the viewer's mind, making them more likely to tune in. At least, in theory.

Think of the EastEnders theme tune and as soon as it starts, in our head or out loud say 'duff duff' a few times in time with the theme tune... it's what they're called.

Its not a new thing with EE to do long silent pauses before the duff duffs. They are maybe more common now than before, but they have done them for as long as I can remember. You notice it most when the following episode starts exactly where the last episode finished, but with the pause removed. It looks silly.
