Billy tries his best to assert his authority with Phil over Lexi’s christening :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
EastEnders bride Tanya Cross appears happy and content in her wedding dress in new pictures from the soap's Christmas Day episode, but is it just the calm before the storm?
Tanya (Jo Joyner) and on-off partner Max Branning (Jake Wood) have been planning to tie the knot over the festive season for the past few months, but as viewers have been told to expect an explosive Christmas for their entire family, whether the ceremony will go ahead is still anyone's guess.
The pair's daughter Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) has been tipped to trash plans for the original Christmas Eve nuptials, but will Tanya and Max have better luck with a last-minute plan to the knot on December 25?

Are Billy and Lola living with Phil now?
Kim Fox and Tyler Moon battle to be centre of attention on EastEnders at Christmas as a market stall war escalates.
Earlier this week, viewers saw Derek and Tyler decide to have a festive wager with Alfie and Fatboy, agreeing that whoever took the least on their stalls by Christmas Eve would have to hand over that day's takings.
When December 24 finally arrives, the competition heats up as the rival stalls are eager to bring in last-minute sales to help boost their totals.
Fatboy decides to recruit fun-loving Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) as his secret weapon, and she rises to the occasion by putting on a revealing festive outfit to impress the punters.

billy should get with shirley :p
EastEnders star Jake Wood has claimed that the cast were stunned when they learned of Max's secret.
Max Branning's mysterious activities in Manchester, when he left Albert Square after being rejected by Tanya last year, will be revealed on Christmas Day.
Wood told the Radio Times: "For most of the year, only a handful of us have known about Max's secret. We have kept it quiet.
"When we came to film Christmas, the rest of the cast became privy to the news and jaws have been hitting the floor. If we're getting that reaction within the cast, it's going to be huge when it's revealed to the viewers."
Over whether Max will be capable of murdering brother Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) after he reveals his secret, the actor speculated: "Well, Derek knows what Max's weaknesses are. Derek knows Max's secret, so who's to say how far Max will go?
"We will have to wait and see. At the moment, Derek is pushing Max all the way and by Christmas, Max is a man cornered and under pressure. So we will have to see what he is capable of."
Max Branning is currently the bookmakers' favourite to kill off his brother Derek, ahead of possible love interest Kat Moon and her scorned husband Alfie.

EastEnders' Jo Joyner thinks Tanya and Max's relationship can recover following the long-awaited reveal of his mysterious secret.
The Christmas episodes are set to feature Tanya and Max's wedding, but it looks likely that the nuptials could be curtailed by Max's revelation.
In an interview with the Radio Times, Joyner revealed that whatever the secret is, nothing can match Max's affair with Stacey.
"It's very sad watching them fight for their marriage, but I do think they can get over this one," the actress said.
"I really don't think that there's much worse than having an affair with the gorgeous 17 year-old who's about to get married to your son. So anything that Max has now done, any possible flings or affairs, could they really hurt as much? And he had had affairs before they came to the Square."
Joyner quickly added: "If it's an affair that's the secret, of course! And not, you know, money!"
She also said when asked about the public's reaction to the storyline: "I've been at work so much that I haven't really seen the public! For the last two and a half months we haven't been out of studio. So I have no concept what people are thinking at the moment.
"But the best one I've heard is that it's Tanya who's having an affair with Kat. That'd be one in the eye for Max, wouldn't it?"
Joyner added that she would love to have another catfight in the soap, saying: "I'd love to have another fight. I haven't had one for a long time. I had a nice one with Stacey and I haven't had one since. It'd be great if Cora got in there as well and we wrecked that beehive a bit."

Coming up on EastEnders, Derek Branning provides his family with a Christmas to remember for all the wrong reasons.
Derek (Jamie Foreman) has already alienated most of his loved ones in recent months, and Max is the next person to turn against him when he learns of the bad boy's recent attempts to blackmail Tanya.
Max (Jake Wood) has a showdown with his older brother on December 24 and makes it clear that he wants nothing more to do with him once Christmas is over.
Furious over Max's attitude and determined to teach him a lesson, Derek hatches a plan to ruin Christmas for him in explosive fashion - by exposing his mysterious secret.
While full details of the storyline are being kept under wraps, viewers will see Derek get his scheme under way by making a phone call that could turn Max's world upside down…

The next day, Derek turns up for the Branning family's Christmas dinner as planned, immediately making himself the centre of attention by promoting his position as head of the family.
There's an atmosphere of happy expectation for everyone when Max later hands Tanya (Jo Joyner) a wedding dress and she realises that he wants them to get married that day - a last-minute plan B after Lauren trashed plans for the original Christmas Eve ceremony.

However, the mood in the house soon changes when Derek's plan falls into place and Max's world crashes down around him.
Max's past returns to haunt him thanks to Derek and everyone is stunned by the secret he's been hiding.
A massive argument then erupts between everyone and as Derek gloats about causing all the mess, it's clear that his relationship with his brothers has been destroyed forever.

EastEnders star Shona McGarty has promised that the soap's Christmas Day episode will "shock" fans.
The actress's character Whitney Dean is present at the Branning clan's festive celebrations on December 25 as they invite their extended family to spend the day with them.
Viewers have been told to expect an explosive Christmas for the Brannings as Max's mysterious secret is finally revealed just as he is preparing to marry Tanya again.
McGarty told Take It Easy: "It was brilliant to watch Jo Joyner and Jake Wood do their scenes - they're just fantastic. I enjoyed the whole thing and there's a very exciting build-up. There are 18 people sitting at the dinner table, so you can imagine the drama!"
Asked how she felt when she first read the scripts, the actress replied: "Really shocked. It's fantastic though, and the outcome is going to shock the audience. There's going to be huge consequences to what happens on the day."
Whitney is currently in a relationship with Tyler Moon (Tony Discipline), but McGarty added that she isn't certain they belong together.
She said: "I'm not sure because she did kiss Joey. It's a bit awkward at the moment for her because she doesn't know what she wants. She wants to be happy and find 'the one', but I think she may still be looking."
EastEnders airs an hour-long episode on Christmas Day from 8.45pm on BBC One.

EastEnders newcomer Kierston Wareing has spoken about her top-secret role on the soap for the first time.
The BBC One show's hour-long Christmas Day episode saw Wareing arrive on screen as Kirsty Branning, who is the secret wife of established regular Max (Jake Wood).

The actress has been filming with EastEnders since October, but show bosses kept her casting well under wraps so that fans would be surprised by the storyline twist.
Wareing explained: "I first knew about the role when I was filming in Morocco. I was checking my emails and I had one from my agent saying, 'EastEnders want to see you when you get back'.
"I went for a meeting with [executive producer] Lorraine Newman and [series consultant] Simon Ashdown, and they offered me the role there and then. I was ecstatic, I was like, 'Yes, yes, yes!' So I knew about it from April, then everything went very, very quiet for months and to be honest I thought, 'Are you sure they still want me?!'
"Then they came back in August, just before I started filming and then it all went very quickly. I always knew I'd be arriving on Christmas Day since I got the first call, and I started filming at the end of October."
She continued: "It was really weird doing my first scene - even though I have done things before, this was a show that I have grown up with as a child. Suddenly I'm on the Square and it's very surreal and I am seeing legendary characters like Sharon, who I have grown up watching - it's bizarre. And now I know her as Tish, and we're friends.
"Then there was another moment a few weeks later when I was sitting in The Vic and June Brown walked in, and it feels like you have literally jumped into your own TV set."
Due to the secrecy surrounding Kirsty's arrival, The Shadow Line and Top Boy actress Wareing even kept most of her loved ones in the dark about her new part.
"It has got hard the nearer it gets to the episodes going out, as it's exciting and nerve-wracking, and of course you would like to share it with people," Wareing commented.
"But the only people who know about it apart from my agent, are my dad - but he doesn't want to know the full ins and outs as he knows I have to keep it a secret - and my brother, so it has been hard.

"I have been staying at a local hotel while I've been filming and I've been asked by people - often the taxi driver when he has dropped me off - what I am doing, and I have been telling them I am temping in the office. Or when they have seen scripts, I say I'm doing background work!"
Wareing also admitted that she is hoping EastEnders fans will have some sympathy for Kirsty as the storyline develops.
She said: "I love playing her, as there are a lot of places she can go, I feel. She has a lot of sides to her which is great, as there's a lot of directions she could go. We don't know much about her, so there is potential for a lot to come out about her.
"First of all I thought, 'What a bitch!', but there is a side that hopefully comes across where people will feel sorry for her, especially when you realise her situation - Max left her.
"I do like her - she is far from boring and I hope in the future there are lots more fight scenes, more bitchy arguments and more sobbing to come - a lot to get my teeth into!"
Kirsty's arrival ends a year's worth of speculation over Max's secret, which was finally exposed thanks to the scheming antics of his older brother Derek.
An EastEnders statement teased: "Kirsty is set to cause trouble for Max and Tanya. Will Max and Tanya's relationship survive, and will Kirsty want to give up her husband? One thing's for sure, Kirsty is fiery, flirty and does what she wants."
The show's Christmas episode also featured Jamie Foreman's final scenes as Derek, who suffered a huge heart attack following a dramatic showdown with his family.
EastEnders continues on Boxing Day (Wednesday, December 26) at 8.30pm on BBC One.
EastEnders' troubled Branning family try to put on a united front following Derek's death in tonight's (December 26) episode of the soap.
Still in shock over Derek's fatal heart attack, the Walford clan gather out on the Square in sombre moods on Boxing Day.
Alice (Jasmyn Banks) is distraught over her father's passing, while Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald) lays some flowers on the spot where he died. However, it's clear that some other members of the family aren't so devastated to see Derek gone.
Meanwhile, the other turbulent events of Christmas Day are also taking their toll on the Brannings. Could Derek's fate bring them together, or will it only serve to drive them further apart?
