Eastenders Archie death

[uncle al]

I have to reveal I'm not an 'enders watcher, but I've just read the article on Digital Spy, saying that the murderer won't know whether it's him/her or not until a reveal in an upcoming live episode.

Now we all know that soaps are recorded 5 or 6 weeks in advance, so although the live episode will go out in February, the episodes following the live episode will have already been made, therefore the storyline won't be a secret on the night to the cast , as they will have already taped "reaction/follow through" to the reveal.

I am sure this makes sense and the live episode is BBC hype.
Comments?

They're recording several alternative scenes with alll the suspect characters, the majority of which will never be aired.

Quiz
My point is that all the cast will know the outcome because they will all have recorded the episodes that follow the live one.
On DS they say that the live reveal will be unknown to the actor on the night
The director will say we'll go with "rehearsed ending 3"
Hope this makes sense

[ummmm]

The pre record the different scenarios...The cast will not know which one will be aired.

RRRmmmppphhhh
I know!
BUT.....
The episodes that follow the live episode will have been recorded..so..will not be new to the cast......

I know what you mean uncle al...good point.
Have a cuppa ;o)

I get what you mean uncle al
perhaps after the reveal the next 6 weeks will just ignore the storyline!? though it's not realistic that people woudn't at least be talking about it afterward.
I don't watch it though so won't know what they do anyway.....

yer I get ya uncle. They will know because 3 -4 weeks before the live show they will be filming the murderer from a prison cell. lol

I dont believe the actor doesnt know anyway (or actress lol) They are all just made to say it when being interviewed. Its bradley, gotta be
