EastEnders will be delaying the release of a special episode that has never been done before, according to a recent update.

Attention EastEnders fans! Get ready for a change in schedule this Monday, as the special Marathon episode will be available a little later than usual. Don't worry, it's for a good reason. The EastEnders team has been hard at work editing in brand new scenes that were just filmed over the weekend. As you know, the show has been releasing episodes on iPlayer at 6am, a whole day before it airs on TV. Many fans have been taking advantage of this and watching right away.

However, this Monday's episode will be slightly delayed due to the addition of fresh footage. The scenes were shot at the London Marathon, where two of our beloved stars, Jamie Borthwick and Emma Barton, took part in the race as part of an emotional storyline. In honor of their character Lola Pearce, who tragically passed away last year from a brain tumor, Jay Brown and Honey Mitchell ran in her memory. Such a touching tribute!

In an exciting social media post, EastEnders announced that Emma and Jamie had successfully completed the marathon and that the footage from that day would be included in Monday's episode. How cool is that? But because of this, the episode won't be available at 6am like usual. Instead, you can catch it on iPlayer at 1pm in the afternoon. But don't worry, for those who prefer to watch in the evening, the TV schedule will remain the same with the episode airing at 7:30pm.

In other juicy news, one of our favorite characters, Billy Mitchell, will be contemplating proposing to Honey on the big day. However, things don't go as planned and he ends up losing the ring, causing quite a stir. Will it still be a happy occasion? We can't wait to find out!
