Yesterday, we found out that February 2015 was going to be a big month for EastEnders but now executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins has hinted at a few big storylines for this Christmas. Apparently the next few months leading up to the festive period are going to be filled with drama, starting next week when Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) is raped by her brother-in-law Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo). Linda and Dean are involved in one of the major storylines at the moment. According to Digital Spy, Dominic said at a press conference this week: “October and November will be the aftermath of this Linda/Dean story, leading towards Christmas. There’s a big Kat and Alfie story too – that’s huge as well leading up towards Christmas.” He added: “The Lucy Beale storyline has more and more twists and turns coming up as we’re going along. Nick Cotton comes back and we’ve also got Charlie, Ronnie and their baby plans.” Dominic Treadwell-Collins revealed that Kat and Alfie are going to be key at Christmas. “We find out more about the Cokers, while Max and Emma’s relationship goes further. Kush arrives who is pretty and he can act, which is rare! There’s also a big story for Timothy West who plays Stan – and Aleks and Roxy.” Yesterday it was revealed that the soap, which cleaned up at the Inside Soap Awards last night, would be going live for its 30th anniversary celebrations next February.
