But that means that all of this week's episodes have already aired - with no new editions until next week.
Today also marks the last in the week for ITV soaps Emmerdale and Coronation Street.
From Thursday the 3rd of July, fans will be left with no soap content for days with ITV and BBC pulling all their coverage across Thursday and Friday.
Emmerdale and Coronation Street will both be bumped from air as a result of the UEFA Women's Euro matches.
But its fans of EastEnders that will suffer the most.
Following the double-bill on Tuesday 1st July, they will have to go a whole eight days before getting their next fix of Albert Square action.
The soap won't air again until the 9th July.
And because of the UEFA women's matches, Corrie fans won't see their next episode until Thursday July 10 at 9pm.
However ITV recently announced that the two soaps would be following in Hollyoaks' footsteps - by going on YouTube.
Both Coronation Street and Emmerdale will now be available to watch on the streaming giant at the same time as on ITVX - 7am each morning.
The big move comes ahead of ITV launching its soap power hour from January with reductions in episodes for both soaps to just five per week.
