EastEnders Pulled from BBC One – Here’s Where to Watch It Next Week

EastEnders fans, brace yourselves — the soap is taking a temporary detour as Wimbledon takes over BBC One’s evening slots. From the week commencing June 30th, EastEnders will no longer air at its regular 7:30 p.m. time on BBC One. But don’t panic: the drama will still go ahead, just on BBC Two, and in a slightly compressed format.

Instead of its usual Monday-to-Thursday schedule, the show will air only on Monday and Tuesday, but with back-to-back episodes each night. That’s right — four episodes in just two days, delivering an entire week’s worth of action in a rapid-fire double-bill format.

🗓️ Schedule Breakdown:

• Monday, June 30th: 7:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. (BBC Two)

• Tuesday, July 1st: 7:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. (BBC Two)

So be sure to tune in and switch over to BBC Two, because Walford isn’t slowing down — it’s speeding up!

Zoe Slater Returns – But What Is She Running From?

While the scheduling is chaotic, the storylines are even more explosive. Fans were stunned on Monday when Zoe Slater returned after years away from Albert Square. But this wasn’t a happy homecoming — it was filled with shadows and secrets.

Zoe is currently staying with Stacey Slater in her London flat, and it didn’t take long for Stacey to grow concerned. Zoe’s behavior is erratic, evasive, and emotionally fragile. So much so that Stacey contacted Alfie Moon, desperate for advice — and support.

Alfie, caught between concern for Zoe and loyalty to Cat Moon, finds himself in a moral bind. Zoe begged him not to tell Cat she was back. And just when things couldn’t get tenser, Cat showed up at the flat — prompting Zoe to flee and hide in a gut-wrenching scene. But she didn’t stick around. Instead, Zoe made a hasty exit, leaving behind more questions than answers.

Why is Zoe so afraid to confront Cat? What trauma is she escaping? And will her secrets eventually come to light?

More Trouble in Walford: Linda vs Elaine, Ravi’s Trap

Alongside Zoe’s mysterious return, Walford is also brimming with tension. Linda Carter and Elaine Peacock will be butting heads, as family and business disputes boil over into chaos. And elsewhere, Ravi Gulati is playing a dangerous game of entrapment — but who exactly is he trying to catch?

These plotlines promise an emotional rollercoaster over just two nights, as EastEnders condenses the action into an even more intense format. From long-lost daughters and strained mothers to criminal schemes and family feuds, the drama is nothing short of relentless.

Don’t Miss a Second of the Action

With EastEnders airing only two days next week on a different channel, fans need to be alert. Set your reminders, update your schedules, and prepare for a fast-paced week in Walford where every second counts. And keep your eyes on Zoe — because whatever she’s hiding, it’s about to shake Albert Square to its core.
