EastEnders airs fiery cliffhanger for favourites in early BBC iPlayer release
Warning: explosive spoilers ahead for Thursday 9th November's episode.
Spoiler warning for Thursday 8th November's episode of EastEnders, which was released at 6am on BBC iPlayer and will air at 7:30pm on BBC One.
Lives are hanging in the balance on EastEnders after a very dramatic explosion took place in Kathy's.
After Rocky Cotton (played by Brian Conley) tampered with the electrics after floundering from his gambling addiction and needing some insurance money, a fire broke out at the restaurant.
But what happened in Thursday's episode (9th November 2023) was truly shocking.
Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) went into the cafe and discovered that a fierce blaze was taking hold.

Smart Bob put his fire safety training to the test and tried to put it out, and while he did, he didn't realise he turned the gas hob on.
Although all was quiet and Bobby seemed to have saved the day, the cafe then suddenly exploded and threw the youngster to the floor.
As Albert Square rallied around to see what was going on, Rocky and Bobby's half-brother Peter Beale (Thomas Law) went inside to find Bobby and check no one else was hurt.
But the cafe started to disintegrate around them and a huge beam trapped both Rocky and Peter on the ground.
The fire services worked fast and managed to pull all three out of the wreckage, but at the hospital, café owner Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) was beside herself with worry for her grandsons and husband, blaming herself for not getting the electrics looked at.

Kathy was slightly relieved when her husband Rocky woke up, but her relief was short-lived as she explained to him that Bobby and Peter were in intensive care.
Will they both pull through? And will they find out Rocky's hand in the horror that unfolded?
Fans will be aware that Rocky will soon be departing the soap after actor Brian Conley quit his role as the wheeler-dealer.
