And for the first time in the soap’s 35-year history, Tuesday saw the show run out of new material, forcing it to go on a hiatus in a BBC first.
Tuesday’s dramatic final episode ended with Sharon, played by Letitia Dean, being revealed as the new Queen Vic pub landlady.
Viewers had been led to believe that Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) would be taking over the reigns but Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) managed to trick the Walford hardman.
