There's an EastEnders bombshell in Thursday's episode that could change everything. Now, fans who have seen it believe it could lead to another twist further down the time. It could also explain a flashforward scene we saw earlier this month too, set to air fully next January. This article contains spoilers from Thursday's episode now available to watch on BBC iPlayer . As it's not airing on TV until 7:30pm this evening, Mirror has chosen to omit some details as to keep the surprise for viewers.
