EastEnders: A Night That Starts in High Spirits
Patrick and Yolande have been so excited. They are counting down to their wedding. This is after Patrick’s recent attack; the hen do starts great. Friends and family are there, and there is plenty of dancing. The speeches given are from the heart. Patrick proudly reveals who will be his Best Man, and Yolande beams as she names her Maid of Honour. And their celebrant, too, the mood is warm and celebratory.

But then Nigel and Julie arrive. They have their three chickens. Julie immediately makes her presence felt; she starts reorganising Nigel’s life. This sparks tension with Phil Mitchell. Phil is not happy about feathered guests, and he is also not excited about Julie’s bossy ways. Nigel accidentally leaves the coop open. He was tending to the birds. The boldest bird, a cockerel, makes a break for freedom.
Feathers Fly and Tempers Flare
The escaped cockerel sets off a mad dash across the Square. Nigel, Julie, Phil, and Lexi join forces. The bird darts between market stalls. It weaves through parked cars and even disrupts cafe customers. It causes chaos, but the real drama begins when the cockerel makes it inside. And crashes Yolande’s hen party.

The music screeches to a halt, and drinks spill and guests leap from their seats. The bird struts through the dance floor. It’s like it owns the place. Someone screams that it is going to the buffet, and others scramble to save the cake. The feathers start flying everywhere. A few brave souls try to grab it, but they have mixed success.
While Yolande might have imagined heartfelt toasts and sentimental moments, instead, she is faced with feathers and flapping wings. She has a runaway guest of honour. It’s hardly the graceful send-off into married life she’d pictured. But in true EastEnders style, it’s a moment nobody will forget.
