In the upcoming week, a significant event will take place in EastEnders as The Queen Vic pub is set on fire, marking the end of an era. The beloved establishment has been a cornerstone of Albert Square for over a century, but the residents will now have to find a new place to gather and enjoy their favorite Luxford & Copley beer.
Fans of the show will remember that this is not the first time The Vic has been exposed to flames. In 1992, Grant Mitchell set the bar on fire in an attempt to collect insurance money, not realizing that his wife Sharon and her dog Roly were inside. Then, in 2010, Phil Mitchell, battling with a drug addiction, ignited the pub as a dramatic exit for actress Barbara Windsor's character, Peggy Mitchell.
Now, as the 40th anniversary approaches, the cause of the fire remains a mystery. But one thing is certain, lives will be forever changed by this tragic event. However, before the pub meets its fiery fate, it will host one last celebration - the wedding of Billy and Honey Mitchell. But as the festivities are in full swing, Cindy Beale, who was attacked on Christmas Day, interrupts the party and points the finger at her assailant.
In the midst of the chaos, Phil Mitchell makes a difficult decision that causes fear among his loved ones. Meanwhile, Stacey Slater debates whether to confess her true feelings for Martin Fowler and Denise Fox must choose between her ex-husband Jack Branning and former flame Ravi Gulati.
But the drama doesn't end there. Sonia's twisted ex-fiancé Reiss Colwell returns and her sister Bianca unknowingly comes face to face with him. As tensions rise, the pub explodes and two people are trapped inside.
The suspects for Cindy's attack are narrowed down to nine individuals, including George Knight who had an alibi for the night of the attack but later admitted he wasn't where he said he was. Other suspects include Elaine Peacock, who was jealous of Cindy's affections for her husband, and Gina Knight, who was seen leaving the storage room where the weapon was found. The list also includes George's family members, as well as Ian Beale who may have been motivated by betrayal and jealousy.
As the fire rages on, our beloved characters must work together to escape, and unfortunately, not everyone will make it out alive. The iconic bust of Queen Victoria, a symbol of The Queen Vic pub, survives the fire and serves as a reminder that this is not the end of the pub, but a new beginning.
As the show's 40th anniversary approaches, fans are left wondering who the Walford Walloper could be, and if any of the suspects will be revealed as the culprit. As the community comes together to support those affected by the fire, we are reminded that in moments of tragedy, love and loyalty prevail.
