As fans of EastEnders will be well aware, the show’s anniversary in February 2015 saw us treated to a WEEK’S worth of incredible live episodes.
And it’s now been confirmed that soap bosses have something similar planned for Christmas and New Year - yay!
Speaking on Gaby Roslin’s BBC Radio London show, Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: “We’ve kind of pushed the boat out this Christmas.
“Normally, EastEnders looks at Christmas Day on its own but what we’ve tried to do this year is look at it the way we looked at Live Week back in February over that whole period, so from Christmas Eve to January and beyond, the stories keep on coming, the twists keep on coming.
“There are some really, really big surprises that we haven’t revealed and we’re not going to reveal – you’re going to have to watch live."
The executive producer continued: “It’s an hour-long on Christmas Day but then the action keeps going through to Boxing Day.
“You’ve got Danny Dyer’s stag, it then goes into Mick and Linda’s wedding, a lot of secrets blowing up between Vincent and Kim, you’ve got Mitchells, you’ve got Beales, Kat and Alfie come back and then there’s a massive story for Stacey Slater.
“Plus, someone will die on Christmas Day. We haven’t revealed it to anyone, there will be a surprise death.”
It’s already been hinted that [spoiler alert] returning character Charlie Slater is set to kick the bucket over Christmas, but we also know that Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) and Arthur ‘Fatboy’ Chubbs (Ricky Norwood) also set to leave the show over the festive period.
Vincent (Richard Blackwood) is also rumoured to be in for a world of trouble, although we have a feeling that this is going to focus more on his obsession with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) than his impending death.
It’s also worth mentioning that Bobby Beale and Denny Rickman have been viciously eyeing each other up for weeks now…
Perhaps Albert Square’s resident killer could be set to make Sharon’s son his next victim, eh?
Which EastEnders character do YOU think will bid their final goodbye on Christmas Day?
