EPISODE WITH A TWIST: EASTENDERS ANNOUNCES SPECIAL EPISODE

This Monday EastEnders is to air an episode with a twist that the show has never done before. The episode centres around the lives of six of Walford’s much loved matriarchs.

They are: Denise (Diane Parish) Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) as they settle in to a usual night in The Vic. However what they soon realise is that in a flash everything changes.

Unlike previous weeks, the episode will air on BBC One and iPlayer simultaneously at 1930 so that audiences can enjoy the special twist at the same time.

On the episode, Chris Clenshaw, Executive Producer, said: “We’re all incredibly excited for Monday’s episode with six of Walford’s leading ladies at the fore. What may seem like a regular day in Walford soon takes a twist and what transpires for each and every one of them is that in a flash everything changes...

"This episode will leave the audience with a lot of questions and, what may seem like the end, is only just the beginning of some very big storylines that will play out this year.”

EastEnders will air on BBC One and iPlayer at 1930 on Monday 20th February.
