First chilling EastEnders photos of drowning horror show blazing row and 'cheating scandal'

A cheating scandal and blazing row will be at the heart of EastEnders' chilling drowning horror, which involve the death of a major character.

For the BBC soap's 35th anniversary, an unlucky Walford resident will plunge into the depths of the Thames, .

Mick and Linda Carter are set to host a boozy cruise on the river after winning the "pub of the year" competition, with all of their locals set to attend.

Bosses have promised an "unmissable week" of special episodes which will be set over the same 24 hours, each from a different character's perspective.

In the first spoiler pictures from the epic week, which began filming earlier this week, all of the cast were seen boarding the small riverboat in the evening.
