The Internet Has Reacted Brilliantly To The #HowsAdam "EastEnders" Live Fail

    That awkward moment when you say the actor's name and not the character's on live TV.

    In celebration of EastEnders' 30th anniversary this week, all of the episodes have featured live sections. And during last night's episode, one of the actors, Jo Joyner, fluffed her lines rather spectacularly.

    Joyner, who plays Tanya, accidentally called the character of Ian Beale by the actor's first name, Adam. Here's the cringeworthy moment in all its glory:

    Within moments #HowsAdam was trending as the internet exploded.

    People were quick to retweet this message from Joyner to her on-screen ex-husband after he "fluffed" his lines during the live episode on Monday.

    There were suggestions for a last-minute script change for tonight's episode.

    If it was ian that killed Lucy can you have who ever reveals it say "it was Adam" @bbceastenders #EELive #HowsAdam

    People got creative on Vine.

    @bbceastenders @dollyjoyner #EELive #HowsAdam #EastEnders #LucyBeale PLEASE RECOGNISE THIS VINE

    A lot was made of the amazing face Joyner pulled when she realised her mistake.

    When you realise you left your Oyster card at home 😩 #EastEnders #HowsAdam

    "How's Adam?" Epic fails like that make #EELive all worth it! #HowsAdam

    From now on, I'm breaking every awkward silence with "How's Adam?" #Eastenders #EELive #HowsAdam

    And then the memes began rolling in.

    Eastenders' biggest cliffhanger so far #HowsAdam

    "My name is IAN woman!" #EELive #EELiveWeek #HowsAdam #EastEnders #WhoKilledLucy

    And finally, the actor who plays Tanya's on-screen ex-husband tweeted this, which might just be the best thing to come out of the whole #HowsAdam debacle.

    You seen the rewrite for tomorrow @dollyjoyner @AdamWoodyatt

    Excellent work, everyone. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘
