EASTENDERS will go off air next month before filming resumes. The BBC soap cut down its episode broadcasts to just two per week after the pandemic shut production down.
The Sun Online can now reveal the soap will run out of pre-filmed episodes next month before the soap will be able to begin filming again.
A source exclusively said: "There will be a break for the soap next month. "Everyone wants to get back to work of course but the health and safety of cast and crew is the most important thing.
It will only happen when it can be done safely." BBC boss Charlotte Moore announced plans to restart production earlier this week.
