EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders will mark its 40th anniversary next year and Lauren Branning actress Jacqueline Jossa has said it's 'go big or go home' when it comes to the live episode
Jacqueline Jossa has revealed that EastEnders' upcoming 40th anniversary is "going to be like no other". It has been confirmed that the BBC One soap will go live for a full episode next year to mark the milestone but this time with a huge twist.
Whilst those in question currently remain under wraps, their fate will remain firmly in the viewers’ hands and the outcome will play out during the live episode as the cast and crew will be set to adapt the scene to portray whichever result is voted for by the public. EastEnders first went live back in 2010 for its 25th anniversary, where it was revealed that Stacey Slater killed Archie Mitchell . The show last went live for its 30th anniversary back in 2015 with a set of five episodes that all included live elements as the Who Killed Lucy Beale whodunit was revealed.
"In fact, as our regular audience will know, we have already seen the return of familiar faces and have many more nods to our history to come which will all build up to our momentous anniversary week.
