EastEnders Live Episode for 40th Anniversary

EastEnders will air a live episode in February 2025 to celebrate its 40th anniversary, marking the first live episode in nearly a decade. In a unique twist, viewers will have the power to decide the outcome of a love story through a live vote during the episode. The live broadcast will take place at the BBC Elstree Centre and will feature nods to the show's history, including the return of familiar faces. Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw promises a week full of drama and surprises, ensuring an unmissable experience for fans. This interactive element is a first for the long-running BBC soap, which last aired live episodes in 2015 and 2010.
