EastEnders Script Leak Reveals Christmas Plot Twist

Confidential scripts for the BBC soap EastEnders were accidentally left on a Thameslink train near Elstree Studios by a cast member, revealing a major Christmas plot twist where a beloved character gets killed off. The scripts were discovered on October 31 by a passenger who then gave them to his wife, an EastEnders fan. Despite attempts to return the scripts directly to the actress via Instagram, there was no response, prompting the couple to approach The Sun for assistance. The scripts, marked as 'rehearsal scripts' with highlighted lines and notes, were eventually returned to the show's producers. The BBC expressed gratitude for the safe return of the documents, ensuring the Christmas surprise remains intact for viewers. This incident underscores the high stakes and secrecy involved in maintaining plot surprises in popular television series.
