It’s set to be a summer to remember for the BBC One soap, with the evening of Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) and Vicki Fowler’s (Alice Haig) wedding setting the scene for what’s to come. In typical Albert Square fashion, the pair’s nuptials prove eventful and the following week’s worth of episodes will be set across the course of one night. The Night that Changes Everything. The Beales, the Brannings, the Knights and the Fox-Trueman clans will, for very different reasons, find themselves at the heart of the drama, with the events that take place on the evening in question having huge repercussions for all families mentioned. The question: is just what transpires? Will Max’s world turn upside down? (Picture: BBC) What happens with Ian and Chelsea on the night that changes everything? (Picture: BBC) That remains to be seen but new imagery and a trailer tease the events to come, with characters including Max Branning (Jake Wood), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and Chelsea Fox (Zaraaah Abrahams) among those included. And to further complicate things, the characters’ world turns upside down in both the new pictures and the accompanying trailer. An omen of things to come? June is certainly going to her a month you won’t want to miss! Let the speculation about what transpires begin. Denise, Jack and Yolande will feature in the big week (Picture: BBC) The Knight-Mitchells are also featured (Picture: BBC) Could the events of this big week perhaps help in building towards the Max twists to come by the end of the year, which were teased in a flash-forward episode in January?
