Get ready for some explosive drama in Albert Square as the iconic Walford boozer is set to be destroyed in a devastating blast. And unfortunately, one beloved character will meet their end during EastEnders' 40th anniversary next week.
The Queen Vic has been a staple in Walford for decades, but its destruction will leave the community reeling and lives hanging in the balance. It's all part of the show's grand celebration, which promises to deliver new romances, shocking twists, and a jaw-dropping live episode.
As the highly anticipated wedding of Honey and Billy Mitchell approaches, their loved ones come together to ensure its success. But amidst the chaos, Grant Mitchell's return brings a new level of tension as his brother Phil's mental health continues to spiral out of control.
While everyone is caught up in wedding preparations, one resident must make a heart-wrenching decision. And just when things couldn't get any more chaotic, Cindy Beale crashes the happy day with a shocking accusation. She claims to know who attacked her on Christmas Day and is determined to get answers, even if it means pulling out a gun. But is she targeting the right person?
As the Vic goes boom, the residents frantically work to free those trapped inside. Meanwhile, two love triangles reach a breaking point, with Martin Fowler and Stacey Slater struggling to deny their feelings for each other, and Denise Fox forced to make a difficult choice between ex-husband Jack Branning and old flame Ravi Gulati.
But while Sonia and Bianca try to come to terms with recent events, they're unaware that their tormentor, Reiss Colwell, is lurking in the shadows, ready to exact his final act of revenge. When Sonia sneaks away from the wedding, she comes face to face with the man who held her hostage for months. And this time, he won't get away with it.
As metaphorical fireworks explode in Walford, two more clashes in the Square set off a series of horrific events, resulting in the Vic's destruction. And amidst the chaos, Sonia goes into labor with no support in sight.
As we approach the 40th anniversary, the question on everyone's mind is: who is the Walford Walloper responsible for attacking Cindy? Metro has narrowed down the key suspects, including George Knight, who lied about being in an illegal boxing match and asked his brother to cover for him. Elaine Peacock, who was jealous of Cindy's interest in her husband, could also be a potential culprit. And Gina Knight, who was seen leaving the barrel store where the weapon was hidden on Christmas night, had a fling with Freddie Slater.
Other suspects include Anna Knight, who found the shovel and hid it to protect her family, Kojo Asare, who was manipulated by Cindy and promised to make it up to George, and Junior Knight, who stole the shovel and was planning to flee the area after his affair with Cindy ended.
But the list doesn't end there. Ian Beale, who welcomed Cindy back into his home, could have been driven to attack her in a fit of jealousy. Kathy Cotton, who has never been a fan of Cindy, would do anything for her son Ian. Lauren Branning, who admitted to turning over Cindy's body, may have been under the influence of illegal painkillers. And Peter Beale, who was struggling with the breakdown of his family and his unborn baby's health, could have also been responsible.
And let's not forget about the possibility of someone else entirely, as Big Mo supports Metro's theory that Bobby Beale could be behind the attack, despite living in the Cotswolds.
As the residents work to save those trapped inside the pub, Denise spots both Jack and Ravi acting heroically. But with an escape route blocked and the structure collapsing, one resident faces a life or death situation. And for one character, this will be their final chapter in Albert Square.
