Shock wedding rocks Albert Square in dramatic EastEnders autumn storyline as pics reveal first look
A SHOCK EastEnders wedding is set to rock Albert Square this autumn in a dramatic storyline.
New filming pictures show the Queen Vic decked out in gold finery for a huge wedding event.
The iconic pub is decked out with a red carpet, gold drapes, a golden balloon arch and even a horse drawn carriage.
Bosses are staying tight-lipped on who could be walking down the aisle but there are three engaged couples in Walford at the moment.
Reiss Colwell proposed to pregnant girlfriend Sonia Fowler with his murdered wife’s ring earlier this summer.
However with Sonia currently in prison awaiting trial for the murder that Reiss actually committed, it seems unlikely they would be the ones to tie the knot.
Another couple engaged – fan favourites Suki Panesar and Eve Unwin – would be a much more likely match.
They have survived Suki’s controlling killer ex-husband Nish’s attempts to split them up and cause chaos in their relationship, becoming more stable than ever.
And assuming she makes it to the autumn, which is what the soap will currently be filming now, and through The Six murder trial, Suki could tie the knot.
Will they walk down the aisle? Or could it be the final engaged couple – and most likely to walk down the aisle at the Vic – landlady Elaine Peacock.
Elaine is engaged to cheating partner George Knight despite his brief dalliance with ex Cindy Beale.
And she’s known to be over the top in her decorating style – so her wedding would be over the top and as out there as the pictures show.
The couple were recently rocked by the arrival of George’s brothers – one of whom, Kojo, decided to stay in Walford with George taking him in.
However he had an outburst that left Elaine concerned about his behaviour.
She clashed with George over it but will the pair be able to put it all behind them for a dramatic autumn wedding?
As well as the wedding, the pictures have also revealed another intriguing storyline spoiler.
In the pictures the Minute Mart appears to be boarded up with graffiti across the hoardings.
The business is owned by Suki and her ex Nish.
Best soap affair love triangles
LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?
EASTENDERS
Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning’s dad Max in 2007.
Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.
Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.
Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler – not realising it was caught on tape – and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.
Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.
A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.
CORONATION STREET
Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street – extending it to bigamy.
He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.
But it didn’t stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.
Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband’s nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.
When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.
Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price’s best friend, Maria Connor.
Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.
But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.
EMMERDALE
Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.
She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride’s betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.
Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well – until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.
Robert’s ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair – but fell to her death before she had the chance.
However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair – after which she announced it to the whole pub.
Viewers know Nish is suffering from a heart condition that has given him less than a year to live – so could he have died and destroyed the business before?
Or is there another reason for the shop’s closure?
