BBC viewers were left absolutely disgusted with Bev Slater when she said the vilest things possible to her vulnerable daughter last night.
EastEnders fans watched in horror on Tuesday (6 November) as the “evil” mother told Hayley she should have “flushed out” her baby.

In uncomfortable scenes, Hayley’s mum declared her daughter had done the right thing by abandoning her newborn on a doorstep.
She even went so far as to say that it was better than throwing her “in a skip”. Classy.

Viewers have seen Hayley struggle with pregnancy and know that the dad is Kat’s estranged husband Alfie Moon – who is soon to return.
She has drunk heavily throughout her pregnancy and even contemplated throwing herself off a balcony until Kat and Jean intervened.
Last week, Hayley gave birth to her child on the dirty floor of a squat and soon resolved to abandon it, believing herself to be an unfit mother.
After leaving her baby girl outside a house with a post-it note, Hayley made the mistake of confiding in her horrible mum about her actions.
And her mother applauded her behaviour!
We all know that Bev is anything but mother of the year herself, and even planned to scam Alfie Moon out of money.
So it shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise when she told Hayley she was right to give her daughter away as she wouldn’t have been a good mum anyway.
She shocked viewers by saying leaving the baby on a doorstep was a good idea as it was better than throwing her “in a skip”.
She went on to say that Hayley should have terminated the pregnancy by “flushing the baby out”.
Fans were enraged by the cruel words, and gathered on Twitter to voice their disgust.
They called her “vile”, “horrid” and “a horrible cow” – and many other descriptions we can’t print because they are too rude!
'Not everyone is cut out to be a mum.' No…but most women who aren't cut out to be mums aren't absoulutely foul like Hayley's egg donor of a parent. When will there be female characters on TV shows that aren't meant to be mothers, who AREN'T written as monsters? #EastEnders

Mother of the year: dead heat between Kat (abandoned her brood) Hayley (abandoned her daughter) and Hayley’s hideous mum. #EastEnders

Literally sick of #EastEnders . Actually going to stop watching it. Stewart and Linda is pathetic and frustrating, Hayley’s mum is a horrible cow. The only thing that was worth watching was Keegans story ! #boredofit

One said: “‘Not everyone is cut out to be a mum.’ No…but most women who aren’t cut out to be mums aren’t absoulutely foul like Hayley’s egg donor of a parent.”
They continued: “When will there be female characters on TV shows that aren’t meant to be mothers, who AREN’T written as monsters?”
Sadly spoilers suggest that viewers are going to have reason to start hating Bev even more in upcoming scenes…
