EastEnders has announced last-minute scheduling changes for this week, moving all episodes to BBC Two due to World Cup and Wimbledon coverage on BBC One. Fans will still receive four episodes, but none will air on June 30 or July 3.
Why the Schedule Change?
BBC One is airing the World Cup last 32 match between Ivory Coast and Norway on June 30, while BBC Two has Wimbledon coverage during the soap's regular time slot. This forces EastEnders to shift to BBC Two for the week.
Complete Episode Schedule
- Monday, June 29: 7.30pm and 8pm on BBC Two
- Tuesday, June 30: No episode
- Wednesday, July 1: 7.30pm on BBC Two
- Thursday, July 2: 7.30pm on BBC Two
- Friday, July 3: No episode
How to Watch
Each episode is available on iPlayer from 6am on the day it is scheduled to air, according to the Daily Star. This allows fans to catch up early despite the broadcast changes.
Recent Storylines
In recent episodes, the Fox-Truemans united as Libby and Chelsea decided to send Sheila Atkins away. At the Mitchell residence, Bea Pollard returned to live with Billy and Honey as part of Will's plan to gather evidence against her, though the plan may backfire due to Bea's influence over Honey.
Meanwhile, Max Branning's engagement to Cindy Beale continues, with a flashforward hinting at a mystery bride. Actor Jake Wood suggested his character should end up with neither Cindy nor Linda Carter, despite their mutual attraction.
EastEnders typically airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
