As EastEnders' 40th anniversary approaches, the show's beloved characters Honey and Billy Mitchell are getting ready to tie the knot. It's a tradition for soap operas to include a wedding in their storylines, so it wouldn't be right to celebrate such a milestone without one. And to make the occasion even more special, the BBC soap has planned for two of Walford's favorites to say their "I do's" as the show reaches its big four-oh next week.
But don't get too excited just yet, because this wedding might not go as smoothly as we'd hope. In fact, it's bound to be a disaster that will leave a lasting impact on the residents of Albert Square. As the preparations for the big day are underway, Honey and Billy will be surrounded by love and support from their friends and family. Actress Emma Barton, who plays Honey, shared her excitement about the wedding, saying, "It's an honor to have our characters' wedding coincide with this special anniversary. Both Perry and I were thrilled when we found out from the producers."
However, while everyone is focused on the wedding, they are unaware of the turmoil brewing within Phil Mitchell, who is struggling with his mental health. And his actions could have grave consequences for everyone involved. Will Billy and Honey be able to exchange their vows before everything falls apart?
But that's not the only thing that will shake up the Square on the wedding day. Reiss Colwell, the killer who has been on the run after Bianca Jackson exposed his secret, is back and seeking revenge. A confrontation between him and Bianca leads to a chain of events that culminates in a massive explosion at the iconic Queen Vic pub. As the lives of the characters hang in the balance, not everyone will make it out alive.
Actress Emma Barton teases that the anniversary week will be full of drama, beauty, and sadness. She promises that the episodes leading up to the wedding will be phenomenal and the big day itself will be one to remember. The show's 40th anniversary week will air from Monday, February 17th on BBC One and iPlayer.
