EastEnders Christmas 2016 Schedule
Father Christmas is bringing you plenty of soap drama from EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale this holiday season.
EastEnders always delivers cheerful, joyous and fun episodes each Christmas, so this year should be a barrel of laughs. Who are we kidding? Albert Square is usually miserable at Christmas - so don't bet on any heartwarming festive bonding.
On top of the long-awaited return of Max Branning to settle his grudge with the Beale family, Lee Carter (Danny-Boy Hatchard) will buckle under the weight of his many lies and the dying Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) takes a turn for the worse.
