Exciting changes for EastEnders fans as new boss delays iPlayer release

BBC fans were left pondering why EastEnders wasn't available on iPlayer today and are equally curious whether it's set to feature tonight on BBC One.

Bold Move by New Boss
In an unexpected twist, fresh Executive Producer Ben Wadey, who has taken over from Chris Clenshaw, has opted for a bold move with his inaugural episode scheduled for this evening (Monday June 16). For the first time, the decision was made to hold off releasing the episode on iPlayer until after its traditional broadcast, a notable departure from the usual routine where episodes premiere at 6am on iPlayer before their evening airing on BBC One.

Amid growing certainty, chatter suggests the withheld iPlayer episode serves as the grand shield for the speculated comeback of either Zoe Slater or Max Branning — both character returns having been accidentally spilled by the press a few weeks earlier; the show itself remains tight-lipped.
