EASTENDERS ON DEMAND
EastEnders fans will be able to binge-watch all of the week’s episodes in one sitting — in a telly first for Albert Square.
Four helpings of the BBC One soap will be uploaded to iPlayer on a Monday morning for three weeks, starting in a fortnight.
The EastEnders schedule will be shuffled about until well into next month because the soap clashes with games in the delayed 2020 Euros football tournament.
Bosses say the “exciting” box-set development will put viewers “in control of their Walford watching”.

FOOTBALL FORCES SOAPS TO MOVE TO ITV HUB FOR A MONTH
Coronation Street and Emmerdale will both move to ITV Hub as a weekly binge-worthy boxset during the Euro 2020.
The two ITV soaps will drop their entire week's episodes online so fans can watch whenever they want and avoid the disruption that comes with the football tournament.
Beginning June 14 the soaps will premiere early on the ITV Hub.
This will be alongside showing the episodes on the main ITV channel each week, giving viewers a wider choice of how, where and when they’d like to view.
Coronation Street boss Iain MacLeod said: “There are loads of key rivalries across the Cobbles this summer and I think it will be like following your favourite team – there will be times where they let you down, make mistakes and maybe score a few own goals.
"But you’ll back them till the end and woe betide anyone else who criticises them."

GRANT MITCHELL TEASES RETURN TO THE VIC
Ross Kemp teased a return to EastEnders as hardman Grant Mitchell – joking that he's "got a mortgage to pay" during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
The 56-year-old star was on the ITV breakfast show to discuss Cheers For Volunteers – a call for the public to raise a glass on 4 July to thank volunteers who've worked tirelessly throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
Kicking off the interview, host Adil Ray asked Ross if being in the pubs to promote the initiative had him wishing he was back in the BBC One soap that first catapulted him to fame – with his character famously the son of Queen Vic landlady Peggy.
Ross coyly replied: "You never say never."
And as the chat drew to a close, the presenter mentioned again: "I haven't seen you act for a while, have you put that on the backburner? Are you looking at scripts?"
The actor-turned-documentary-maker smiled as he quipped: "All I will say is I've got a mortgage like everyone else, so whatever comes my way!"

CORRIE: WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH SEB'S DEATH?
As Nina continues on a downward spiral, Summer struggles to eat or sleep, and Asha doesn't know how to handle the turmoil in the wake of Seb's death, what can Corrie fans expect to come?
Speaking about the aftermath of the tragic attack, Corrie boss Iain MacLeod recently teased: “It draws in lots of different families and in the best tradition of Coronation Street storytelling pits neighbour against neighbour and in some cases husband against spouse, all of those interesting areas of conflict.
“It becomes partly about class going forward, I mean I can’t say too much about that but in terms of how the criminal investigation unfolds it becomes about class and background and privilege.”

EMMERDALE: WHAT HAPPENED WITH LUKE AND ETHAN?
EMMERDALE fans were left stunned after Luke Posner admitted he is Ethan Anderson’s mystery dating app man.
The chef – who is played by actor Max Parker in the ITV soap – is in a relationship with Victoria Sugden, but Ethan previously accused him of being in denial about his sexuality.
Victoria and Luke consoled Ethan as he revealed the headless man he’d been chatting to on a dating app had blocked him and deleted his profile.
When Ethan said the mystery man must have been put off by the beach photo he sent, Luke said: “Maybe he chickened out, or he could have a wife and kids. Or he could be some saddo. If you think that this is over, you in your speedos, you need your head testing.”
The penny dropped for Ethan as he realised he’d never mentioned any speedos.
Accusing Luke of catfishing, he said: “My mystery app man. Turns out there’s no wife, just a girlfriend.”
Luke denied it but when Ethan threatened to call Vic over and have her look through his phone, he panicked – and confesses, saying: “Please don’t. I didn’t mean to lead you on, alright.”
But at that Ethan stormed out before Luke had a chance to explain himself.
