EASTENDERS PULLED OFF AIR AGAIN – FURIOUS FANS ASK: WHEN WILL WALFORD RETURN?!

Just when we thought the Wimbledon scheduling chaos had stopped, EastEnders has been pulled from BBC One again tonight.

Yes, again.

It’s the time of the year when soap viewers battle the sports fans in the fight for the primetime telly position, with it very rarely going in our favour – something which ignites fury in those of us who prefer to see the goings on in Walford and Weatherfield.

After weeks of being shunted to BBC Two and doubling up episodes to fit around tennis matches, there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel.

However, if you’re planning on tuning into the Albert Square action tonight, you’ll be bitterly disappointed.

Why is EastEnders not on tonight?

There is no EastEnders today, because of the Women’s Euro 2025 quarter finals.

England will face Sweden in Zurich with Gabby Logan presenting coverage for the Beeb.

As a result, two episodes of ‘Enders aired last night, and can be streamed on iPlayer now.

When is EastEnders next on?

EastEnders will return on Monday, July 21.

It’s an exciting time for the Slaters as they discuss Kat’s potential move into The Queen Vic, but not all of their neighbours are on board with her decision.

Jean gets a surprise call from Alfie, but fails to pass on a message to Stacey. As the auction gets underway at the boozer, Jean finally spills.

Cindy’s less than impressed to hear that Ian intends to sell Beale’s Eels to he can afford to buy the pub for himself!

Tensions are rising across the road, where Suki is furious that she’s been excluded from Ash’s engagement joy. Eve tries to console her wife, who is upset that Vinny is secretly planning to attend the party.
