EastEnders
Albert Square drama
EastEnders is a long-running British television soap opera set in the fictional London borough of Walford.
The show centers on working-class families and their daily dramas—affairs, feuds, deaths, and revelations often culminating in explosive Christmas episodes.
Since 1985, it has been a BBC institution, referenced in British culture as shorthand for melodramatic neighborhood conflict: It was like something out of EastEnders.
