Text and/or other creative content from this version of Albert Square was copied or moved into EastEnders with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Vandalism

I saw that the page had been vandalized, the first paragraph was replaced with an offensive comment and then a link to a twitter page. I removed the comment, but as the original paragraph had been deleted, I was not able to replace it. The user who replaced it was User:Flimgier, so if anyone can contact them, please do so.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TrippCeyssens (talk • contribs)

Sharon Watts

Black characters

The assertion that Coronation Street only began to feature black characters after Eastenders started to air is factually incorrect. The black character Shirley Armitage was a Coronation Street regular from 1983 to 1989. Cables93 (talk) 08:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

is EastEnders ending in 2026

It’s been confirmed by the BBC that EastEnders will end on BBC One on 24 December 2026. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:A6B3:F501:7DCD:497D:BC29:7B82 (talk) 20:07, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because the storylines are boring and people are keep on leaving the show and they want to end it by “2026” at the latest around “December” and EastEnders will not return for the “forseeable future”. 2A00:23C8:A6B3:F501:7DCD:497D:BC29:7B82 (talk) 20:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I heard on TikTok saying that EastEnders is ending on 19th February 2025 during their 40th anniversary. But is this true??? Or is it false??? 148.252.132.30 (talk) 20:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think that EastEnders is ending in 2026? 2A00:23C8:A6B3:F501:7DCD:497D:BC29:7B82 (talk) 20:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
