It\u2019s the soap that reigned supreme at this year\u2019s\u00a0RadioTimes.com Soap Awards<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0sponsored by\u00a0Inspired Villages<\/a>, and it looks like EastEnders<\/a> has no plans to slow down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

After the massive Christmas 2023 storyline that was Sixmas and the introduction of some major new characters so far this year, EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw has remained tight-lipped about what\u2019s to come in the soap in the near future \u2013 but he did promise that there\u2019s some exciting news to come in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Having bagged seven awards<\/a> on the Soap Awards night in question, Clenshaw reflected on the wins and said it felt \u201csurreal\u201d and \u201can absolute honour\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m literally thrilled, I\u2019m so proud of the entire team. I\u2019m really grateful to the viewers, I\u2019m really grateful to everyone that voted,\u201d he beamed.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt\u2019s been a heck of a year in soap, and I think that everyone\u2019s at the top of their game, so for us to kind of win this amongst everyone that\u2019s firing on all cylinders is a real achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really, really\u2026 I\u2019m lost for words because I\u2019m so proud of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s on the cards for the near future in Albert Square? Well, while Clenshaw did remain a closed book on any details, he did tease that fans should anticipate some exciting news in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

When asked about the summer and autumn storylines, Clenshaw revealed: \u201cI think tonight\u2019s just about celebrating the many awards that we\u2019ve just won, which we\u2019re thrilled about. We\u2019ve got a big summer, a big autumn.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, we\u2019re heading into Christmas and we\u2019ve got our 40th anniversary, so there\u2019ll be more news coming out in the coming weeks, but I\u2019m going to stay tight-lipped for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BBC soap will celebrate its major milestone anniversary in February 2025, and something tells us that the ground will be laid ahead of what is set to be quite the celebration.<\/p>\n

As for now, there are plenty of character arcs and storylines to keep us going, with it most recently being announced that a fan-favourite character<\/a> will be making a long-awaited comeback to the soap.<\/p>\n

As for how that will pan out alongside other brewing plots, including Anna Knight\u2019s impending important spiking story<\/a>, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
