As the summer of sport begins, EastEnders will become the latest soap to have their schedule changed as a resul
Due to the Wimbledon coverage on BBC One, there won’t be any room for EastEnders to air in the usual 7:30pm slot.
Don’t worry, you won’t miss a week of the soap, but you will have to flick over to BBC Two to watch the instalments.
On the week commencing June 30, EastEnders will only air on the Monday and Tuesday, but will broadcast two episodes in a row, therefore effectively broadcasting a week’s worth of episodes in just two days.
It will air as follows:
Monday, June 30 – 7pm and then again at 7:30pm.
Tuesday, July 1 – 7pm and then again at 7:30pm.
The drama taking place in Walford across those two days will involve Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) clashing, while Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) plots to catch someone out.
It’s been quite the week in EastEnders. On Monday, fans up and down the country got a huge shock as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) returned to our screens.
Staying with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) in a flat in London, it became apparent very quickly that Zoe wasn’t in a good place, with our Stace concerned enough to notify Alfie Moon (Shane Richie).
Alfie wasn’t keen on the prospect of keeping Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) in the dark but Zoe urged him to keep schtum.
When Kat showed up at the flat, however, Zoe was forced to hide and she subsequently made an escape, determined not to come face-to-face with her estranged mum.
