BBC Three's EastEnders Live: The Aftermath reaction show is to capture the moment that the soap's boss informs Archie Mitchell's killer of their sin.

Since Walford's menacing Mitchell, played by Larry Lamb, was clobbered to death on Christmas Day with The Queen Vic bust, the identity of his killer has remained a closely-guarded secret. With only hours to go until the live instalment is screened, only seven people know the murderer's identity.

However, at 7.30pm this evening - 30 minutes before EastEnders goes live to the nation for the very first time - leading producer Diederick Santer will take the actor who plays Archie's killer to one side and inform them of their actions.

The killer's reaction footage as well as a selection of behind-the-scenes material will be played out on BBC Three spinoff show EastEnders Live: The Aftermath.

Presented by Larry Lamb's screen son George, The Aftermath airs from 8.30pm on BBC Three directly after the live episode.

Yeah, this, and is the killer being revealed on the live ep? If so, how have they rehearsed if they don't know who the killer is?

They were all given the script, and then a few pages were left out (the page that refers to the killer)

But I also heard they filmed up to 9 Alternative endings to the show, which is obviously for each person who it could be.

They call the endings 'Version 1' or 2, 3, 4 and so on.

Then Diedrick will tell the cast before the show starts 'Were going with version (example) 3'

And thats what they act out.

Yeah, but the episodes they have filmed arent to do with Archie.
They are more on the new storylines such as Lucy being pregnant, Amira Leaving, Owen being found etc

I'm almost jealous of your obsession with EastEnders that is giving you an insatiable desire to find out what's going on

The killer isn't revealed to the characters, just us - the viewers. Diederick's mentioned that there's also no link to who killed Archie in the episodes they've done for after tonight's.

So after tommorow...the truth about Archie's killer is forgotten for a few months? No aftermath?

Nah, I don't think so. I read that on Monday they're doing script alterations, so I imagine we'll get some scenes of the killer trying to hide it was them and the effects of that.

I read on DS the killer is revealed to the square in March, so like Patrick said, they're probably going to give it a rest for a while.

Oh good, then that should be intresting

Spoiler:

And If Jack is the only one that knows, it will be good to see how he hides it too.

Sadly yeah,

Bradleys funeral and that obviously but it looks like they'll do what they always do and jump onto a random storyline.

And we probley wont hear from the Mitchells until a few weeks.

[Callum]

Patrick I would really put a spoiler code on your last post because some people have no idea.

[Jack_]

Yeah Patrick, I saw that post in the thread earlier. Peed me off a bit, but I'll get over it cause I don't watch it often.

Others won't be so nice though

[Callum]

I wish Fearne Cotton was presenting this.

[Patrick]

Pmsl

Sorry I edited now, I keep forgetting we have a spoiler code.

[Patrick]

Could you imagine saying to someone..

'So how did you feel when you found out you killed my dad?'

Thats what George will be asking someone tomarrow night

Yeah the thing I hate about George is that like he'll be interviewing someone and then the next thing you know he's interviewing someone else! He doesn't give anyone much time to talk, hope it won't be the same tomorrow. EastEnders is a much bigger show than BB so there's a lot more pressure on him to ask the right questions etc.
