Next up on the agenda, Dermot O'Leary, the beloved presenter of This Morning, finally landed his dream role on the iconic show EastEnders. Although, it wasn't quite the on-screen appearance he had hoped for. Instead, Dermot made a cameo as himself, a radio host, hosting a competition for a dream vacation to Greece.
As luck would have it, Kathy Beale happened to be listening in from her usual spot at the café. Dermot, with his charming voice, announced the question for the competition - "What links these three words: mincing, frying pan, little Britain?" His smooth voice continued, "A trip for two, sun, sea, sand, you know the rest..." Kathy couldn't help but reminisce about her own trip to Greece while Harvey Monroe, her companion at the café, used her phone to enter the competition on her behalf.
It was no secret that Dermot had always wanted to make an appearance on the popular show. In fact, he had shared his desire with resident soap expert Sharon Marshall. "I'd quite like to be a police officer on EastEnders or Corrie," he had revealed. And Sharon couldn't help but agree, saying that he had "the look of an off-duty copper". Well, it seems Dermot's wish finally came true, in a way.
Sharon even joked about Dermot's potential love interest on the show, mentioning Walford's very own detective, Jack Branning. "I could see you with Jack," she teased. Little did they know, EastEnders had some big plans in store for its upcoming milestone in February. The show will be celebrating with a live broadcast, allowing viewers to vote on a storyline that the actors will have to react to in real time.
The details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but the producers have hinted that it will be a love story. With Ruby Allen's return to the show, fans have been speculating that it may involve a love triangle between her, ex-husband Martin Fowler, and his current flame Stacey Slater. As some may remember, Stacey and Martin have remained close since their divorce in 2020 and even had a brief fling last year.
However, Martin went on to marry her best friend, Ruby, causing a major rift between the two women. It all came to a head when Ruby falsely accused Stacey of pushing her down the stairs and causing her to lose her baby, resulting in Stacey being sent to jail. But karma caught up to Ruby, and she was eventually sent off to prison herself, thanks to a cunning plan by Jean Slater.
It seems EastEnders is pulling out all the stops for its anniversary, and fans can't wait to see what unfolds in this highly-anticipated live episode. Will Martin have to choose between his two ex-wives? Will there be a reunion between Stacey and Martin? As always, we'll have to tune in to find out.
