As EastEnders gears up for its 40th anniversary celebration, the question on everyone's mind is: who will survive the explosive week ahead? The popular soap opera is set to go live for a special episode on Thursday, which promises to be a life-or-death battle for the residents of Albert Square.
The tension builds as an explosion rocks the Queen Vic pub during the wedding celebrations of Honey and Billy Mitchell. As the perilous situation unfolds, the focus shifts to those trapped inside the disaster zone. The one-hour special on Wednesday will see a fight to save them, but things will only get worse as the week progresses towards a cataclysmic conclusion.
One character at the center of the drama is Sonia Fowler, who finds herself in a precarious situation when she goes into labor while still trapped in the rubble of the Vic. With no medical support and only two traumatized individuals by her side, the question arises: will she and her baby make it out alive?
As the emergency services race against time to rescue those still trapped, their loved ones anxiously wait for news outside. According to Emma Barton, who plays Honey, the live episode will be "full on" and promises to be dramatic, beautiful, and sad. It's definitely not one to be missed.
But amidst all the danger and destruction, there will also be some much-awaited resolution. Denise Fox, torn between her lover Ravi Gulati and ex-husband Jack Branning, will finally make a decision in the live episode. And here's the twist - fans get to choose who she ends up with. Viewers with a BBC account can vote for their preferred suitor on the BBC website before the vote closes on February 20, just before the live episode airs.
As the tension builds towards the live episode, some fans are already speculating about who might not make it out alive. Drone photos taken from the set show floral tributes outside the Vic in the weeks ahead, hinting at a possible death. With Natalie Cassidy, who plays Sonia, leaving the show after 32 years, could it be her character who meets a tragic end? Or will another fan theory turn out to be true?
But it's not all doom and gloom. Scott Maslen, who plays Jack, assures viewers that the show will be buzzing with excitement during the anniversary week and the live episode. And with the show constantly setting the bar high, it's sure to be a great and fun-filled experience for everyone.
Don't forget to tune in to EastEnders' live episode on Thursday at 7:30 pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
