EastEnders fans were left in tears last night as the soap went off air for the first time in 35 years.
Back in March, filming was suspended on the soap because of the coronavirus pandemic. But as the show has now run out of episodes, EastEnders has come off air.
In last night’s final outing (Tuesday, June 16) the soap was left on a cliffhanger, when Sharon Watts was revealed to be the next owner of The Queen Vic.
Although fans were overjoyed by the outcome, they were upset that the show was going off air.
