Proposal: Split List of EastEnders television spin-offs into the following:
EastEnders is a popular British soap opera that has aired on BBC One since 19 February 1985. Several special and supplemental episodes have been made, some of which use flashbacks to look at the history of the characters. Others have been a lead-up for a character's eventual return to the show, and some have followed characters who had departed from the show in another setting. These episodes are sometimes set outside the usual location of Albert Square.
Six EastEnders "bubbles" have been made. Several of these were created by Mal Young, who also created a "bubbles unit" to make a maximum of six one-off specials a year. He explained in 2004 that the episodes use flashback to give "an understanding of, and a history to, characters who have been on screen [...] for over 10 years. Hopefully, the viewers will enjoy and value that." [1]

Proposal: Split List of EastEnders television spin-offs into the following:
EastEnders is a popular British soap opera that has aired on BBC One since 19 February 1985. Several special and supplemental episodes have been made, some of which use flashbacks to look at the history of the characters. Others have been a lead-up for a character's eventual return to the show, and some have followed characters who had departed from the show in another setting. These episodes are sometimes set outside the usual location of Albert Square.
Six EastEnders "bubbles" have been made. Several of these were created by Mal Young, who also created a "bubbles unit" to make a maximum of six one-off specials a year. He explained in 2004 that the episodes use flashback to give "an understanding of, and a history to, characters who have been on screen [...] for over 10 years. Hopefully, the viewers will enjoy and value that." [1]
