User:AnemoneProjectors/List of special EastEnders episodes

Proposal: Split List of EastEnders television spin-offs into the following:

• List of special EastEnders episodes (section "EastEnders bubbles" and "Red Button episodes") (see current draft)
• List of EastEnders-related documentaries (section "Documentary shows") (see User:AnemoneProjectors/List of EastEnders-related documentaries
• Merge the sections "Spin-off series", "Charity specials", "Other specials" and "EastEnders-themed game shows" to EastEnders spin-offs#Television (see User:AnemoneProjectors/EastEnders spin-offs)
  • Note: None of the above to be done until articles exist for each of the "bubbles" so no information is lost.
• List of EastEnders television spin-offs would be redirected to EastEnders spin-offs#Television
• As the "bubbles" should be considered episodes rather than spin-offs, the characters listed at List of EastEnders spin-off characters should be moved to their respective years, or to articles about each individual bubble, and that article redirected to List of EastEnders characters.
  • Spin-offs in infoboxes should be restricted to series only - E20, Redwater, Lauren's Diaries, Marsden's Video Diaries, The B&B, Tamwar Tales. Possibly also charity specials if already listed in the infoboxes (needs discussion)? But not the bubbles or the episodes like "Phil on Remand" or "T&B 4 Eva".
  • Durations to include soap bubbles, since they are episodes, not spin-offs.

---

EastEnders is a popular British soap opera that has aired on BBC One since 19 February 1985. Several special and supplemental episodes have been made, some of which use flashbacks to look at the history of the characters. Others have been a lead-up for a character's eventual return to the show, and some have followed characters who had departed from the show in another setting. These episodes are sometimes set outside the usual location of Albert Square.

EastEnders "bubbles"

Six EastEnders "bubbles" have been made. Several of these were created by Mal Young, who also created a "bubbles unit" to make a maximum of six one-off specials a year. He explained in 2004 that the episodes use flashback to give "an understanding of, and a history to, characters who have been on screen [...] for over 10 years. Hopefully, the viewers will enjoy and value that."
