EastEnders fans are already speculating about what the BBC’s new twist could unfold. It feels that Walford is preparing for something significant with the producer taking over and the secrets being hidden. Keep scrolling to discover why the BBC is changing and what this could hint at for your favourite characters.
A New Boss Takes Over, and Walford’s Already Changing
This week, executive producer Chris Clenshaw brought Walford to a close with some truly heartfelt episodes. From Kat and Alfie saying “I do” for the third time to George and Elaine’s marriage slowly weakening, it has been a long journey.
The next head of the BBC soap will be Ben Wadey, a former story editor and commissioning executive for Channel 4. And he’s got a good start for his first show, which starts on Monday, June 16, and things are already going well.
Monday’s episode won’t drop early like usual this time; it airs at 7:30 p.m. on BBC One and iPlayer, which can only mean one thing: that something big is coming.
The soap only skips when something big is about to happen, like Cindy’s jaw-dropping return, the dramatic 40th anniversary or those Christmas Day twists. So if they are keeping it under wraps, fans can expect something huge coming.
Chaos is brewing as Ben intimated that a bold new chapter will start the following week. “We hope to get everyone talking about something big that starts next week in Walford,” he stated. So what could the show be hiding? We will soon find out!
EastEnders Spoilers: Tension Builds for Joel and Alfie
On Monday, spoilers suggest Joel takes on an even darker role. He goes too far when he inappropriately touches a woman on the tube, and he even gets Tommy to capture it while he’s engrossed. In another scenario, lost in thought on his phone, Alfie tries to comfort him while he is still healing from his wedding.
