EastEnders is not on tonight – here’s when it’s back and where to watch it this week

EastEnders is undergoing a major shake-up tonight as the Euros 2024 continues to take over our telly screens.

The beloved soap usually airs on Mondays at 7:30pm on BBC One.

However, tonight sees UEFA European Football Championship continue, airing from 7:30pm to 10:10pm

Tonight’s match will see Croatia play Italy, taking up the usual post held by EastEnders on a Monday night.

What’s happening on EastEnders tonight?

This week’s EastEnders will see Stevie Mitchell press grandson Will over the theft of Lola’s charity money.

Things take a dramatic turn though, when young Will lashes out and attacks his grandfather. Fleeing the scene, Will leaves Stevie unconscious on the floor.

While later on in the week, Billy Mitchell is left shocked when the brother he never knew he had arrives in town.

Stevie’s son Teddy turns up on the Square with his two sons – Harry and Barney. Teddy is actually Billy’s half-brother, with Billy having no idea that he existed.

Roland Manookian will play the character of Teddy, with Elijah Holloway playing Harry. Lewis Bridgeman will be bringing Barney to life.

Speaking about the new arrivals, EastEnders’ Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: “The arrival of Teddy, Harry and Barney will be a seismic shock for Billy and an unwelcome surprise for Phil.

“With their arrival sparking more questions than answers, it’s not long before the Mitchells find themselves at war as Teddy and his sons are thrust into the heart of the drama.”
