SHOCKING NEWS JUST DROPPED! EastEnders responds to schedule changes with real-life football plot

EastEnders will acknowledge the schedule changes next week within the show itself.

The BBC One soap won’t be airing in its usual Monday to Thursday 7.30pm slots, instead dropping two episodes on Wednesday from 8pm and one episode on Thursday and Friday at 7pm (the iPlayer schedule hasn’t been announced yet).

This is down to both the Wimbledon tennis tournament and the Women’s Euros football competition, one of which will feature in the show itself.

In scenes to air next week, Denise Fox, Honey Mitchell, and Kathy Beale all head to The Vic for a drink and to toast the Lionesses and their Euros 2025 campaign.

In terms of what else is happening next week, there are some very dramatic scenes in store.

Ravi Gulati turns to dealing drugs again after Bernie drained the Panesar bank accounts, and hides a car full of them in The Archers, where it’s discovered by Harry Mitchell and Kojo Asare.

Unfortunately, the stash goes missing. Harry, who knows what happens when underworld types risk losing a load of money, is terrified, but refuses to let anyone blame Kojo for the disappearance.

Elsewhere, Anna Knight returns just as Elaine’s health story continues, and Callum Highway and Johnny Carter’s burgeoning romance hots up.

Peter and Lauren Branning also receive some bad news about baby Jimmy, and Cindy decides to stir the point even more.
