EastEnders came out on top for the soaps on Christmas Day this year, as the BBC One soap aired the dramatic exit scenes for Danny Dyer’s character Mick Carter.
The Queen Vic pub landlord saw his fate left on an ominous note in the hour-long post-watershed festive special, which saw the aftermath of Mick and Janine Butcher’s (Charlie Brooks) wedding.
The dramatic storyline gave the BBC soap the ratings boost to put it ahead of Emmerdale and Coronation Street for the first time in years.
