"As well as running on behalf of their chosen charities, Emma and Jamie run parts in character to film various scenes along the route. These scenes will be edited into the main show this evening and viewers will be able to watch the special scenes tomorrow (Monday 22nd April) from 1300 on BBC iPlayer and at 1930 on BBC One. @londonmarathon #LondonMarathon."
Jamie said of the storyline: "Over the last 18 months, we have seen a storyline where my [Jay's] wife Lola, had developed a brain tumour. We just really tried to make it as real as we could and our lovely boss dropped the idea to us that maybe our characters would run the marathon."
Presenter JJ Chalmers spoke to the duo at the 12-mile point to which Jamie said: "It's fantastic. So far, we are struggling a bit. But are we getting through, the crowds are great", adding: "Everyone's been great. It's such a great day, and everyone's screaming and shouting and it's brilliant."
Asked if they were ready for their EastEnders scene, Emma said: "We just have to treat it like any other scene of EastEnders, professionally, we're gonna get it done and then we can relax for the last half." Soap fans were quick to react to EastEnders' post on Sunday night as one person said: "Well done Jamie and Emma. Lola's storyline was one of the best soap storylines in years from beginning to end deserved the awards it got Lola would definitely be proud of Jay and Honey."
Elsewhere, a different account put: "Congratulations! Can't wait for tomorrow's episode", another wrote: "Amazing!!! I'm in awe" while another soap watcher added: "Congratulations, Emma and Jamie."
