Yahoo News EastEnders to air dramatic autumn fire storyline
EastEnders is set to air a dramatic new storyline that will shake things up on Albert Square.
As the soap approaches its 40th anniversary, The Sun reports a fire will devastate the lives of the Walford residents.
The Square has seen its fair share of infernos over the years, from explosions to arson; including the Queen Vic fire in 2010, which saw legendary landlady Peggy Mitchell fight to save her beloved pub.

It's currently unclear where the upcoming blaze will take place, or who will be affected by the incident. The whole community could be at risk of danger and maybe even death.
One character that has been tipped to exit the show is Nish Panesar (played by Navin Chowdhry). The villain was introduced to EastEnders in 2022 and has ruled over his businesses and family with an iron fist.
Nish was recently at the centre of The Six storyline, but survived the Christmas episode. However, he later returned to the Square, announcing that he was dying.

Though his exit hasn't been confirmed, Chowdhry revealed that he was "really excited" when he found out his character's fate.
Speaking about Nish's illness, the actor told Digital Spy: "He has spent most of his time since he's been back causing hell for everyone else, and suddenly he's been dealt the harshest card.
"So for him to cope with that and then react in the way that he needs to try and still be on top and still win is just a really interesting dynamic that I don't think anyone saw coming."
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.
