It’s the week EastEnders fans have been dreading and desperately waiting for—Albert Square is about to implode with revelations, reunions, and raw emotion. Next week, 43 spoiler images tease a storm of secrets, as returning legends, broken families, and twisted loyalties take centre stage. Here’s your inside look at the chaos about to unfold…

💥 A Ghost from the Past Returns – And Sparks Fly

Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) thought he’d closed the door on that chapter—but nothing stays buried for long on the Square. When Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) makes another shocking return, it’s not exactly a happy reunion. Recently seen leaving for a new life in Scotland with wife Julie (Karen Henthorn), he’s now missing—and she returns alone. The reason? Mysterious, troubling… and guaranteed to rattle Phil.

When Nigel is eventually tracked down and brought back to the Mitchell residence, old wounds bleed fresh again. Phil and Julie clash—bitterly—over what’s best for Nigel, with years of unspoken resentment bubbling to the surface.

Will they find common ground for Nigel’s sake, or does this emotional tug-of-war hint at darker truths beneath the surface?

👶 Pregnant and Ignored – The Panesar Family Crisis

There’s a storm inside the Panesar household—one they don’t even see coming. Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) drops a bombshell: she’s pregnant. But her confession to Suki (Balvinder Sopal) is met with deafening silence—not because it isn’t serious, but because everyone else is too distracted by their own mess.

Her father, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), has just been dragged into police interrogation over drug trafficking allegations, and her mother Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) is spiraling, desperate to protect the family at any cost. She’s even prepared to tamper with the truth to shield Ravi from prison.

Meanwhile, Suki’s fury is reignited when she finds out Vinny (Shiv Jalota) is attending daughter Ash’s engagement party—a family celebration she wasn’t even invited to. Betrayal cuts deep, and Suki is done playing peacemaker.

Amid all this drama, will anyone notice that Avani’s world is crumbling?

🏚️ The Queen Vic on the Line – And Kat’s Dream Shattered

The iconic Queen Vic is finally going under the hammer, and Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) wants in. She’s ready to fight for it—but is thrown a massive curveball when cousin Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) drops a financial truth bomb: she can’t help fund Kat’s bid.

The timing couldn’t be worse—and the tension couldn’t be higher. Especially since Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) has sent an ominous message that may hold the key to the Vic’s fate.

What did Alfie say? And why does Stacey seem more rattled than she’s letting on?

💣 Oscar’s Threat – Linda’s Darkest Secret Exposed?

It’s the secret Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) never wanted out—and now, it’s on the brink of being exposed. Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) knows the truth: Linda had a daughter, Annie, with his father Max (Jake Wood).

The betrayal runs deep. Oscar is furious and ready to reveal everything—unless someone can stop him.

Desperate, Linda turns to Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), begging her to convince Oscar to stay silent. But can Lauren really control her brother—or will he blow the lid off this scandal and destroy what’s left of Linda’s peace?

Whatever happens, the damage may already be done…

⚠️ Mike Returns – And He’s Not Alone

If Oscar wasn’t trouble enough, his old friend Mike (Tai Hilferink) shows up just in time to make matters worse. Their past is riddled with bad blood and reckless choices—and when Mike finds Oscar again, it’s not for a heartwarming reunion.

No one knows what Mike wants. But when he arrives, tensions skyrocket. Are we looking at the next explosive feud to rock The Square?
