EastEnders kicked off its highly anticipated 40th anniversary in style this evening, as the build-up to Thursday night’s live episode began.
The BBC One soap is marking 40 years on air with four explosive and must-see offerings this week so expect drama aplenty!
As Billy and Honey Mitchell (Perry Fenwick and Emma Barton) successfully tied the knot, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) tried to hide the extent of his depression.
Elsewhere, the mystery of the Walford Walloper drew closer to its conclusion as Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) came face to face with her attacker, while wielding a gun!
But who was holding the locket?
And ahead of the public vote opening on Wednesday night, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) found herself even more conflicted as Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) ramped up their efforts to win her heart.
The drama snowballs later this week, with the Queen Vic set to go up in smoke, endangering a number of mainstays.
It’s going to be an explosive week so, without further ado, let’s get the 40th birthday celebrations underway!
