More misery ahead? EastEnders adds a new hospital and police station to Albert Square as huge set expansion is revealed


Residents of disaster-prone Albert Square will at least have quicker access to medical care as the new EastEnders set expansion is revealed.

Walford locals are gaining a new hospital, complete with an A&E entrance, a new police station and a parade of shops as part of the set overhaul in Elstree, Hertfordshire. A source told The Sun last month: 'The soap is celebrating 40 years on our screens and what better way to mark it than expanding the existing set with exciting new places to film.' Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) crashed into the pub, triggering a devastating collapse that claimed the life of show veteran Martin Fowler (James Bye).
