Eighty people have complained to the BBC about Monday night's episode of EastEnders.
The episode saw pregnant Dawn Swann, played by Kara Tointon, chained to a bed and told she would be forced to have a Caesarean section.
The storyline centres on rivalry between Dawn and her lover's wife Dr May Wright, played by Amanda Drew.
A BBC spokesman apologised, saying: "We are sorry if some people were offended by this drama unfolding."
He added that the climactic episode would have been anticipated by most viewers but said the corporation "will be addressing complaints fully in due course".
Plot changed
Dawn managed to escape after grabbing the scalpel May was going to use to carry out the procedure.
The original storyline about the women's rivalry was re-written last month because of similarities with the real-life case of missing child Madeleine McCann, who disappeared on holiday in Portugal.
There was no specific warning about the content of the episode but a continuity announcer said before it began: "Dramatic EastEnders now on BBC One - it's misery for poor Dawn as mad May puts her plan into action."
