Hey, guess what? EastEnders is shaking things up because of a football match! Yep, you heard it right. The iconic BBC soap is changing its schedule for the first time in a while. Instead of the usual Tuesday episode, they’re airing a special one on Friday. Why, you ask? Well, it’s all because of a football game between Scotland and England. So, mark your calendars for Friday 8th December because that’s when the one-off episode will be on BBC One at 7:30pm. Don’t worry, you won’t miss out on the other episodes for that week. They’ll still be on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This change is a big deal because EastEnders usually doesn’t air on Fridays. But hey, it’s a nice surprise for fans, right? Some fans are already buzzing about it, like one who said, “Omg finally an EE episode on a Friday!” This isn’t the first time EastEnders has mixed things up. Back in March 2022, they announced changes to their schedule, switching from Friday nights to Monday to Thursday evenings. And you know what? The big boss at BBC Studios, Kate Oates, was totally thrilled about it. So, if you’re an EastEnders fan, make sure to tune in on Friday for the special episode.
