The Square is making way for the women's World Cup

| Updated:

Friday night’s epsiode of EastEnders is once again cancelled to make way for the Women’s World Cup as England take on Argentina.

Instead of the usual 8pm trip to the Square, we’ll be heading to France on Friday June 14.

But never fear, EastEnders will be on TWICE on Thursday (June 13) instead.

There’s a double outing tonight – once at the usual 7.30pm and then again at 8.30pm.

And there’s a lot going on as Bobby Beale makes his return to Albert Square.

He’s been away for three years, serving prison time for killing his sister Lucy Beale, and attacking stepmum, Jane Beale.

It’s the second installment that sees Bobby when his gran, Kathy Beale, celebrates the launch of her new gay bar, The Prince Albert, and then sneaks away to see Bobby who’s at home.

Bobby has been recast since the last time we saw him and is now played by Clay Milner Russell.

Before we get to see Bobby again, the Talyor-Baker clan prepare for Dinah’s funeral with everyone desperate to support Bailey.

The brave youngster insists she wants to speak at the service, and with their help she manages to get through the difficult day.

Also, the Carters are struggling with the feedback from the doctors about Ollie, but as they head to the Spice Girls concert, can Mick and Linda make peace?

In the second episode it all kicks off when Sharon looks up abortion clinics.
