EastEnders<\/a> has announced some last-minute schedule changes for this week, but thankfully it’s actually good news regardless of whether you watch on broadcast or on iPlayer.<\/p>\n

Although the standard EastEnders schedule had been announced for this week, due to the World Cup on BBC One and Wimbledon on BBC Two, there’s actually no visit to Albert Square on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

To make it up for it, two episodes are airing tonight back-to-back from 7.30pm, although on BBC Two and not BBC One.<\/p>\n

Even better, both episodes are available to stream on BBC iPlayer right now.<\/p>\n

In the episodes, the Fox-Truemans band together, as Libby and Chelsea decide to show Sheila Atkins the door.<\/p>\n

Over at Billy and Honey Mitchell’s house, Bea Pollard moves back in, but it’s part of Will’s plan to gather evidence on her.<\/p>\n

However, there’s the chance that their plan might backfire, as Bea has got her claws deep in Honey.<\/p>\n

You can find spoilers for the rest of the week, including the Pride episode<\/a> with RuPaul’s Drag Race and Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix, right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest storylines going on at the moment is Max Branning’s engagement to Cindy Beale, and we’ve seen in the flashforward that he is set to marry a mystery bride.<\/p>\n

Max and Linda Carter also have a lot of chemistry that they’ve been struggling to ignore, but according to Jake Wood<\/a>, his character shouldn’t end up with either of Cindy or Linda.<\/p>\n

“A marriage could work between [Max and Cindy], but they’re very complicated characters, bringing a lot of history to the table. And we’ve seen Max have feelings for Linda Carter”, he said.<\/p>\n

“I think he would drop everything to be with Stacey. Has he got it in him to be faithful? I think so\u2026 but it would be really boring to watch, wouldn’t it?!”<\/p>\n

Max has already proven to be unfaithful to Cindy as he had a one-night stand with Priya Nandra-Hart<\/a> after his other half initially rejected his marriage proposal.<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast. <\/p>\n
