EastEnders is on at 7.30pm tonight, but on a different channel
Don't miss out
The Walford drama normally airs from Monday to Thursday on BBC One at 7.30pm, with each episode available to stream from 6am on BBC iPlayer on the same day.
However, the soap’s usual routine can be interrupted when major sporting events take over the BBC schedule – and tonight is one of those occasions.
So, when can viewers watch EastEnders on Thursday, July 9? And is the latest episode already available to watch online?
When is EastEnders on tonight and is it on BBC iPlayer?
EastEnders will air on BBC Two tonight, Thursday, July 9, but fans won’t have to wait any longer than usual as it remains in the familiar 7.30pm time slot.
The channel change comes as World Cup coverage and Wimbledon action continue to affect the BBC’s regular programming schedule.
For those who prefer to watch ahead, tonight’s episode is already available on BBC iPlayer, following the soap’s usual early release pattern.
And there is plenty of drama waiting for viewers in the latest instalment from Albert Square.
EastEnders spoilers for tonight – Priya shows Max who is boss
After almost catching Priya and Max together, Cindy’s suspicions deepen as Max scrambles to excuse his behaviour.
Meanwhile, after a close call, Priya escapes from the car boot and turns to Suki for help – inadvertently revealing the fact that she has a secret new man. Fed up with being bossed around, Priya takes control of her fling with Max and threatens to expose his secret if he doesn’t play by her rules.
Also, Eve struggles to bond with Ria, who gravitates towards Suki. She seeks advice from George, and he helps her see that being a mum to Ria will take time.
Elsewhere, Kim and Howie confront Sheila about her intentions, who later relays Ian’s defence strategy, having overheard him in Knight Fusion. Chelsea is thrilled to have this insider information, and lets Sheila spend time with Jordan. But Kim worries about what Denise will return home to, causing more tension in the Fox/Truemna household.
