EastEnders’ Xmas shock plot
|
Den and Angie’s divorce, Pauline Fowler dead under the Albert Square Christmas tree, young Jamie Mitchell fighting for life in hospital… it’s always gloom and doom in EastEnders come Christmas time – and this year is no exception.
Just days before she plans to host one of her legendary Christmas Day pig’s heads buffets at the Queen Vic, landlady Peggy Mitchell will be cruelly evicted. In a great mwah-hah-hah of villainy, Peggy’s vengeful ex Archie will deliver the devastating blow in a storyline guaranteed to have viewers on the edge of their seats.
The drama unfolds after Archie gets engaged to Janine Butcher (an unholy alliance if ever there was one) and then sets out to crush Peggy after she brands him a “pathetic old man”. With cash tight, Peggy and son Phil persuade local moneybags Ian Beale to give them a loan so they can keep the pub afloat.
But treacherous Ian sells the loan on to Archie, who moves in for the kill when the Mitchells can't meet their repayments. In emotional scenes to be aired on 18 December, Peggy, Phil, Ronnie and Roxy are left homeless when he calls in the debt. And something tells us Archie’s fiancée Janine – a woman with all the warmth of a part-submerged crocodile – won’t be shedding any tears…
