EastEnders confirms when big Queen Vic change will air – and it’s soon

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders has confirmed when the new owner of The Vic will take over, and change is coming to Walford very soon.

The Knights have recently decided to sell the iconic pub, with Linda putting the business up for auction to protect her sobriety.

All eyes are on who will be the next landlord or landlady, and next week Ian and Stacey will both decide to make a bid for The Vic.

The story will escalate very quickly, as new advanced spoilers released by the BBC reveal that on Monday, 21 July, the Slaters “discuss an exciting potential venture” before drama unfolds at the important auction.
