EastEnders has remained tight-lipped on storylines in the run up to Christmas, but they have now teased what fans can expect over the festive season this year.
EastEnders viewers can expect ‘secrets and lies exposed’ and Albert Square must then cope with the aftermath of the big day.
The soap has issued a tantalising teaser, hinting at what's about to happen this Christmas season, saying: “As the residents of Walford get set to celebrate the festivities, there are those who are desperate to reclaim lost soul mates, forge futures with new loves and fight dirty to protect their families.”
It comes as the soap is preparing for Danny Dyer’s highly anticipated exit from the character of Mick Carter, who will find himself embroiled in danger this Christmas.
He’s heading towards his wedding with his pregnant fiancée Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) – but clearly still has feelings for his ex-wife Linda (Kellie Bright).
Mick's mum Shirley ( Linda Henry ) is desperate to get evidence that Janine is keeping dark secrets, but can she get what she needs before it's too late?
The soap has teased a series of short episode synopses for the BBC soap this festive season, with the drama kicking off ahead of Christmas Eve.
It is on December 23 that the BBC soap has said Janine and Mick are preparing to wed but elsewhere in Walford there is a Christmas return which leaves one resident of Albert Square fuming.
The explosive scenes come on Christmas Day, when the BBC soap spoilers teased: “Secrets and lies are finally exposed and all hell breaks loose in the Vic.”
The fallout comes in following scenes on Boxing Day when the residents of Walford try to process the events of Christmas Day – with no specific details on what the community learned on the big day yet. What could the big revelation be?
There’s more for fans of the soap in the days between Christmas and New Year’s as on December 27 BBC spoilers teased that Kat is desperate for answers and questions are asked about what's going on at the Vic
The following day the Albert Square residents learn what happened at Christmas and Zack impresses Whitney, while in later scenes Phil is furious when he discovers the truth, meanwhile elsewhere in Walford Chelsea gives Zack food for thought.
The drama returns to the BBC soap on New Year’s Day, when BBC spoilers said disaster strikes at the Slaters' New Years Eve party.
