Hello and welcome to the EastEnders Christmas Day episode thread 2015. It is an honour to be hosting it once again for what promises to be another memorable EastEnders Christmas! 2015 saw the show celebrate its 30th birthday in style with a week of Live episodes and the fallout from that week is still rippling around Walford. I would like to take this opportunity to wish the soap forum, the friendliest corner of the net, a very happy Christmas. Eat, drink and be very merry.)

Unlike Last year quite a bit of tomorrow will be a genuine surprise. Last year's was good but everything that was to happen had been worked out on here. I like surprises so I cant wait.

Very welcome Scrabbler.

The trailers and spoilers give away plenty (too much) but it's definetly more action packed than 2014.

Hi Dully,

I feel that I should have been at the top of the episode thread list as my threads are objectively better than everyone elses.

Looks like MyLauren and MyCindy are back tonight, should be a 10/10 episode when they turn up. Otherwise I'm anticipating somewhere between 1 and 2 out of 10.

Thanks.

Evening J-B.

You should have done more if you want to be at the top.

Don't get your hopes up.

I've read it's 'one of the most gripping episodes ever.' Carnage and shocks.

Just do what I've started doing going into the 'big' eps, don't expect much, then you won't be disappointed.

Me too, if it's anything like recent years. I hope I'm proved wrong though.
