Viewers will need to adjust to a new schedule 

However, this week fans will have to adjust to a change to the schedule.

A 2026 World Cup qualifier between Wales and Belgium will be on screens tonight instead.

Airing live from Brussels, coverage begins at 7.30pm and will end at 10pm – in time for News at 10.

It means EastEnders fans will instead get their Walford fix from Tuesday to Friday this week.

Taking to Instagram, the show’s account penned: β€œ#EastEnders schedule change!

β€œThis week’s EastEnders will air Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There is no episode tonight. But don’t despair, you can also watch now on @BBCiPlayer.”

One fan commented: β€œCan’t wait see you on Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday.”

Another added: β€œI like football but I LOVE EastEnders!! Can’t miss an episode.”

Meanwhile, a popular star has quit the BBC soap after four years in Albert Square.

Bobby Brazier, who has played Freddie Slater since 2022, is set to bow out.

EastEnders fans say β€˜someone’s getting fired’ as BBC soap accidentally reveals major spoilers

An EastEnders spokeswoman said: β€œWe can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.”

A telly insider revealed: β€œBosses had a meeting with Bobby only recently as they had a plan in mind for a storyline, and it just so Β­happened that Bobby was also thinking that now was the right time to look for other opportunities outside the show.

β€œThe timing of the decision worked for both, but his final scenes are not for a while yet.

β€œThe character has had a great run, but the time is now right for Bobby to look for other opportunities, and for EastEnders to wave goodbye to Freddie Slater.”

Furthermore, the 22-year-old’s exit comes as new boss Ben Wadey makes exciting casting decisions with the return of some high-profile stars.
