EastEnders fans can look forward to double the drama tonight (February 14) as the soap airs two episodes rather than one.
The show has been scheduled in for 7.30pm and 8.30pm this evening as Mel and Hunter's dark storyline looks set to come to a head.
With Emmerdale's own double bill sticking in its usual 7pm and 8pm slots tonight, the good news is that there won't be any clashes between the rival soaps.
EastEnders will be airing five episodes in total this week, as the show will also be on screen as usual tomorrow.
The slight change comes as EastEnders only airs three times next week, with no episode on Monday (February 18) due to live coverage of the Chelsea vs Manchester United game on BBC One.
Tonight's dramatic double bill sees Mel (Tamzin Outhwaite) and Hunter (Charlie Winter) go ahead with their drastic plan to flee from Walford to escape the heat over Ray Kelly's murder.

Thursday's episodes also feature the build-up to Doctor Legg's sad death and more drama for Tiffany Butcher as she makes a discovery about troublesome Evie Steele.
EastEnders airs tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on BBC One.
