EastEnders clears up confusion over missing iPlayer episode

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders has cleared up confusion over Monday's missing iPlayer episode (November 20).

As we all know, the BBC soap drops early-release episodes every Monday to Thursday morning, ahead of broadcast later that evening.

Fans were therefore left confused this morning when today's episode wasn't uploaded at 6am as usual.

This sparked speculation that there could be something in the episode that the show's bosses wanted to air live, as has been the case previously.

However, EastEnders has confirmed to Digital Spy that today's episode will still be dropping on iPlayer, despite the delay.

A BBC spokesperson said: "Today's episode of EastEnders will be available on BBC iPlayer slightly later than usual."

Monday's scenes will see Dean left furious on the launch day for the Beales' new pie and mash shop when he sees the word "rapist" written in graffiti across the window.

He accuses Linda of being to blame and threatens to sue her for slander, prompting Elaine and George to worry about the implications of this.

As a result, Linda reluctantly tries to seek a truce with Dean but he refuses to back down, even after encouragement from Ian and Cindy.

Things come to a head when George lashes out at Dean upstairs at The Vic, causing the villain to fall down the stairs.

Also ahead today, Vinny worries about Suki showing signs of stress and exhaustion and is further concerned to learn that she didn't pick up her prescription for anti-depressants from the doctor.

Nish is later horrified when Priya passionately kisses him – especially when he spots Vinny and Suki standing at the doorway.

Elsewhere, Kat will accompany Alfie as he goes for his first hormone injection.

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
