Keep scrolling to see how the new schedule shake-up affects everything and what drama is coming next
EastEnders moves to BBC Two for back-to-back summer drama.
Wimbledon is airing, so EastEnders will show two episodes on June 30 and July 1. The initial episodes will be shown on Monday at 7 pm and 7:30 pm. Tuesday will follow the same schedule, with two more episodes airing in the evening.
The soap also shelved an episode this month to maintain the shock of Zoe Slater’s return, an episode that also brought in new executive producer Ben Wadey.
Tensions run high as secrets spill in Walford.
The forthcoming double episodes are full of drama. On Monday, tempers unravel between Linda and Elaine, Vicki discovers something profitable, and Zack brings bad news. Later that night, chaos erupts at The Vic, and Vicki uses desperate tactics.
Tuesday’s action gets hotter still. Ravi lays a trap to catch someone in the act, and Kat’s day goes from bad to worse as she presses for the truth. Cindy, however, is not playing around; she’s handing out stern warnings.
The soap continues to push out gripping storylines, even as it adjusts its broadcast schedule. For more EastEnders spoilers and dramatic plot twists, keep following Soap Opera Daily!
