Earlier this month, a source told of the looming fire stunt: "Bosses are staying tight-lipped about who’s behind the attack and who is left fighting for their lives, but viewers can expect lots of drama as the storyline unfolds on-screen and the residents of Walford deal with the fallout of the event. These scenes have just been shot and they look incredible. They are part of the explosive autumn the show has lined up."

Viewers have been fearing for a number of characters since the twist was reported, with Karen Taylor actress Lorraine Stanley soon leaving the show. Other characters are thought to be linked to the stunt but nothing is confirmed currently.
