The changes to EastEnders’ timetable come amid a string of exciting storylines taking place in Walford.

Upon the revelation, Lola’s widower Jay questioned, “Who would do something like that?” as her daughter Lexi asked, “No one would steal Mum’s money, would they?”

Phil (Steve McFadden), however, immediately had a suspect in his sights.

The hardman pointed the blame at Stevie (Alan Ford), Billy’s estranged father, who has resurfaced in recent months.

Is Stevie truly the guilty party or is someone else responsible?

Elsewhere, the episode also saw a sense of justice for Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), after she bravely spoke out and reported the sexual assault she faced at the hands of Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler).

THE beloved British soap has been captivating audiences for decades.

Viewers saw Clayton being taken into police custody, as Yolande, Patrick (Rudolph Walker) and Denise (Diane Parish) watched on.

As he was being escorted away, the villain attempted to declare his innocence, saying: “You’ve got this all wrong. Whoever said this is lying.
