EastEnders fans fuming after soap set for huge scheduling shake-up

ok.co.uk:

EastEnders fans are up in arms after finding out the much-loved soap is being shuffled from its usual spot.The telly staple is set to be moved in an upcoming TV lineup, making way for an exclusive interview.The familiar scenes of Albert Square usually grace screens from Monday to Thursday every week, but now and then it takes a backseat for alternate programming, as witnessed when football coverage took precedence this summer.

In a fresh shake-up, the show's regular 7.30pm to 8pm slot on Thursday, 3 October will instead be taken up by an interview with ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, helmed by Laura Kuenssberg.

Consequently, EastEnders fans will have to wait until Friday, 4 October to catch up with their favourite characters, with the episode airing unusually on a Friday night on BBC One.

This change, which has been confirmed in TV guides, has caused quite the stir on social media platforms. A fan account broke the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, igniting discussions amongst viewers on Sunday, 22 September, reports the Mirror.
