EastEnders fans needn’t worry about the fact that the soap has temporarily gone off the air, as they can still get their Walford fix via the fabulous new spin-off series Secrets From The Square, which kicks off tonight.
With EastEnders having had to shut down production amid the coronavirus pandemic, episodes which were filmed pre-lockdown were rationed out at two a week — as opposed to usual four — in an effort to ensure the soap remained on the air for as long as possible.
Those existing instalments reached their end last week, meaning that — for the first time in its 35-year history — EastEnders has had to go on hiatus.
However, if your worried about missing your favourite soap, then fear not, as fans will be able to continue getting their weekly Walford fix in the form of a new spin-off series, Secrets From The Square.
Secrets From The Square will be hosted by Stacey Dooley who will sit down each week in Ian Beale’s (Adam Woodyatt) restaurant, Walford East, with two different members of the cast to reflect on their time on the show.
Additionally, they’ll tease what’s to come when EastEnders returns, as well offering as the occasional sneak peek behind the scenes.
The first instalment — which airs tonight — sees icons Kellie Bright and Danny Dyer, who play Linda and Mick Carter, take centre stage, as they reflect on their seven incredible years on the show thus far, as well as previewing what’s to come.
The final pre-lockdown episode of EastEnders was a huge one for Mick and Linda, as they sold The Queen Vic — leaving viewers wondering what lies ahead for the characters when the soap returns later this year.
EastEnders: Secrets From The Square commences Monday 22 June at 8pm on BBC One.
