soap’s‘monstrous’ New Year episodes.
Over the past two weeks, Christopher has been sharing snippets of gossip as filming takes place on the special block of
episodes on X, formerly Twitter.
His latest post on the social media site was especially cryptic, suggesting the BBC soap could be planning some sort of major event.
Posting a picture of a piece of tape warning cast and crew not to enter a ‘dressed set’, he wrote: ‘Day Fourteen of @bbceastenders New Years Episodes,’ before adding the ominous hashtag
What could it mean? We have so many questions!
In the replies, Chris further teased fans with a reference to ‘railway lines’.
When one fan wrote: ‘I hope you didn’t cross the dressed set line Chris!!!!’ he then replied: ‘Crossing all the lines. Railway lines too!!!
Last week, Christopher appeared to confirm that some of the episodes would take place on location when he posted that he was on a ‘travel day’.
He also previously referred to the New Year episodes as ‘monstrous’ as he shared more behind-the-scenes snaps, adding: ‘A room packed (PACKED) with EastEnd icons.’
Earlier this week, Alfie Moon actor Shane Richie revealed that the earlier Christmas episodes, which have already been filmed, could be summed up by the words ‘deceit, tragic and sad’.
‘A few things happened on Christmas, which I intentionally didn’t read [the script] because I knew that Kat and Alfie were going to be involved, and I didn’t really want to know what was going to happen in the Queen Vic on Christmas Day. But oh my God!’, he said in a chat with Radio Times.
‘I sat there watching this story unfolding in the Queen Vic that happens on Christmas Day, and as a fan of the show anyway, I was like, “Oh my God I can’t believe this! Stop!”. I had to do a line and I kept messing it up because I was so taken in with that the storyline that was happening.’
‘You’re in for a lovely treat this Christmas Day.’
