FILMING for the much-loved TV show Eastenders has continued in Southend today, with scenes being shot along the seafront.
A number of stars of the hit soap have been spotted in the city this week, with filming already taking place near the arcades and at Adventure Island.
The attraction's boss, Philip Miller, has revealed filming has been taking place close to The Three Shells cafe today.
Some scenes are also being shot on the beach itself and by the water's edge.
