It was announced on 3 June 2020 that "EastEnders" would go on a transmission break following the broadcast of episode 6124 on 16 June. A behind-the-scenes show, "EastEnders: Secrets From The Square", will air in the show's place during the transmission break and is hosted by television personality Stacey Dooley. The first episode of the week features exclusive interviews with the show's cast, while the second episode will be a repeat of "iconic" episodes of the show. Beginning on 22 June 2020, Dooley interviews two cast members together in the show's restaurant set while observing social distancing measures. Kate Phillips, the controller of BBC Entertainment, explained that "EastEnders: Secrets From The Square" would be the "perfect opportunity to celebrate the show" in the absence of the show. Jon Sen, the show's executive producer, expressed his excitement at the new series, dubbing it "a unique opportunity to see from the cast themselves just what it is like to be part of "EastEnders"". The "EastEnders: Iconic Episodes" series consisted of 9 episodes: Den & Angie, Sharongate, Amira & Syed's Wedding (Part 2), Walford Pride, Pat & Peggy, Who Killed Lucy Beale? 30th Anniversary, Max & Stacey, Shirley Confesses and Pat & Frank's Affair.
