EastEnders confirms fan favourite is missing in explosion aftermath as residents fight for their lives
EASTENDERS has confirmed a fan favourite is missing in the aftermath of a horrifying explosion.
Flames tore through the Queen Vic in shocking scenes – with many residents’ lives now at risk.


EastEnders has released first-look pictures at the explosion’s aftermath shown in tomorrow’s episode.
The special hour-long instalment officially marks the BBC soap’s 40th anniversary.
Soap legend Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is feared dead after the huge blast.
Ex-husband Martin Fowler (James Bye) desperately tries to find Stacey in the rubble.
Viewers watched Stacey confess she still had feelings for Martin before the explosion – only to be rebuffed.
Stacey first appeared in the BBC soap back in 2004 – but has her time come to an end?
Additionally, the images show various other characters caught up following the explosion.
Many residents had been celebrating Billy’s (Perry Fenwick) and Honey’s (Emma Barton) wedding when it unfolded.
In one image, the newlyweds can be seen tearfully hugging each other.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) are also shown.
Meanwhile, Reiss crashed his car after Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) pushed Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) into its path.
This followed Cindy’s unidentified Christmas Day attacker finally being revealed to fans.
As for Reiss, the killer – who murdered wife Debbie last year – had been attempting to flee Albert Square.
His former captive Bianca (Patsy Palmer) encountered him again in No.25.

Home Bargains has brought back viral garden buy for just £3.99 and it’s the cheapest on the market
HOME Bargains delighted shoppers after bringing back a popular solar light.
The jazzy garden accessory with a flickering flame effect is on sale for just £3.99.

Made by Firefly Solar Light Co, the ornament is shaped like a hot air balloon.
The bargain buy automatically turns on after sundown and comes with a rechargeable battery.
Dangling from the delicate glass ‘balloon’ is a tiny gold basket.
A photo of the £3.99 lights was shared on Bargain Lovers Facebook page with the caption: “Look what’s coming back at Home Bargains!!”
The post quickly gathered plenty of likes, with one person writing: “Love these got one last year look so cute when there light up xx”
A second added: “I want a couple of these, we’ll have to do a trip,” one wrote, tagging a friend.
“Oh my word these are £20 in garden centres!” echoed another.
Every time Home Bargains brings them back on sale they run out fast, with them currently out of stock online.
Despite soaring costs of living, the light is one pound cheaper than when it first took shoppers by storm last year.
It’s worth checking with your local branch to see if it has the balloons in stock.
You can find your nearest Home Bargains branch by using the retailer’s store locator on its website.
Of course, always to remember to shop around before buying anything like this as you might find the item cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Price Spy let you compare prices on thousands of products to find out where it will cost you the least.
You can also have a quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab to see how much retailers are selling a particular item for.
We had a quick look online to see if other chains are selling a similar-style hot air balloon solar light, and couldn’t find any.
Homebase has one in stock for £10.50 while Amazon has one in stock for £9.49.
This comes as shoppers go mad for a 99p cure for winter sniffles – and even celebrities can’t get enough.
TOWIE star Bobby Norris is the latest famous face to rave about the 99p product – Nuage’s vapour bath salts.
“Now when I tell you these sell out quick, this is what we’re at,” he said in a video on his TikTok page, turning the camera to show that there were only a few left on the shelf.
“It’s like the locusts have been!”
He urged people to “run like a thief in the night” to their local Home Bargains, calling the product a “game changer”.
“We’ve all got stinking colds,” he sighed.
“We’re having a terrible time I think. So I would suggest, if you like a bath salt or a shower tablet, get involved.
“Vapour is the way.
“And with everything going round at the minute… you need it in your life.
“I grabbed a couple because as I say, they sell out so so quick.”
If you aren’t a bath person, it also comes in tablet form for the shower.
And other Home Bargains shoppers were quick to agree with Bobby in the comments section, with one writing: “When you know you know!”
“Ooh I’ll grab some!” another added.
“I’m going to get some of them,” a third said.
“Home Bargs is the best place!” someone else gushed.
