The BBC soap usually airs weeknights Monday to Thursday from 7.30pm, but there is a schedule change to start the new week.
It comes following the wedding chaos in Walford last week when Kat Slater and Alfie Moon decided to get married for the third time.

However, there will be a pause on the latest drama in Albert Square this evening due to Match of the Day presenting a FIFA World Cup group qualifier match instead.
This will replace EastEnders as coverage begins at 7.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
Wales will take on Belgium at King Baudouin Stadium with kick-off from 7.45pm.
The Radio Times summary adds: “After matches against Kazakhstan, North Macedonia and Liechtenstein, this represents by far Wales’ toughest task on paper.
“Although the Belgians’ ‘golden generation’ has not managed to win an international trophy and many of them are coming towards the end of their careers now, they remain a threat to anyone on their day.”

The football match is scheduled to last until around 10pm, which will be followed by BBC News at Ten.
