EastEnders plans live episode, interactive vote for 40th anniversary

EastEnders is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special week of episodes culminating in a live broadcast on February 20th. Fans will have the unprecedented opportunity to influence the storyline by voting on key plot points, including whether Denise Fox will choose between Jack Branning or Ravi Gulati as her romantic partner. Voting will open on February 19th and close just before the live episode, allowing producers to incorporate viewer choices in real-time. This interactive event is part of a broader celebration that includes an hour-long documentary and additional content on BBC platforms. The live episode promises to deliver dramatic changes to the fictional community of Walford, with significant plot developments that will be revealed during the broadcast.
