In the latest episode of EastEnders, we saw the beloved Queen Vic pub in ruins after a massive fire. The Vic, a prominent and beloved establishment in Walford, has been a staple in the community for decades. However, its destruction has left the Knight and Carter families in grave danger.
The timing couldn't be worse for the Knights and the Carters, as they are already dealing with Linda's alcoholism and the shocking revelation of Junior's affair with Cindy Beale. This added tragedy is sure to dampen their holiday spirits, and we can only hope that they will make it through this trying time.
As the iconic pub implodes, the lives of many Walford residents are left hanging in the balance. One can only hope that Tracey the barmaid, a beloved character in the series, makes it out alive. It is yet to be seen how the fire started or who is responsible, but early pictures of the event promise an intense and thrilling anniversary week for the show.
The pictures obtained by Metro show a devastating explosion that tears through the pub, with smoke billowing out of its burnt interior. The once busy and lively establishment is now a heartbreaking sight of destruction. A blackened car, crashed into the building and covered in rubble, only adds to the chaos.
Amidst the chaos, a live episode of the show will air where viewers will have the power to decide the outcome of a couple's relationship. The anticipation for this event is high, and it is a testament to the show's loyal fan base.
In the coming months, we can also expect to see old residents returning to Walford. The likes of Grant Mitchell and Nigel Bates are rumored to make appearances, with actor Ross Kemp even being spotted leaving the show's production base.
This is not the first time The Vic has seen a fire. In 1992, Grant Mitchell set the bar ablaze in an attempt to claim insurance money. It resulted in the death of an ornamental bust of Queen Victoria and some minor damages. However, in 2010, the pub met a fiery end once again, coinciding with Barbara Windsor's exit as Peggy Mitchell. This time, the fire was started by Phil Mitchell, who was struggling with a crack-cocaine addiction.
The residents of Walford are no strangers to tragedy, and this latest event is sure to have a lasting impact on the community. As we wait to see how this storyline unfolds, we can also look forward to the show's 40th-anniversary celebrations in February. In recent months, we have seen the return of fan-favorite characters, adding to the excitement of this milestone event.
As always, EastEnders continues to captivate viewers with its gripping storylines and talented cast. We can't wait to see what the future holds for the residents of Walford and how they will overcome this latest tragedy. Tune in to BBC One Monday through Thursday at 7:30pm to follow the drama.
