EastEnders pulled off air in latest BBC schedule shake-up with hour-long Lucy Beale special planned
EastEnders will be taken off air on Thursday (April 18) with an episode of Garden Rescue scheduled to broadcast in its place. However, fans of the BBC soap will not miss out on any drama as the show will still air as normal on Monday and Tuesday, with an extended hour-long episode airing on Wednesday (April 17). Although, it's not currently known if the shake-up to BBC One's scheduling is to accommodate a 60-minute EastEnders special, or if it will air as two separate episodes broadcast consecutively. However, the latest spoilers from Walford tease the Beale's gearing up for the 10-year anniversary of Lucy's death on Wednesday. As soap fans will know, Lucy was killed by her younger brother Bobby Beale by accident on April 18, 2014, and next week her family gathers to remember the character.
