Here's What's Happening in EastEnders Next Week

Many of you have said you feel EastEnders is back on top form in recent weeks, with many dramatic storylines playing out on our screens, and that's going to continue into next week as we get another action-packed bumper set of episodes dropping on Monday.

Next week will see Phil Mitchell continue in his plan to find and confront Lewis, his son's rapist, but there is one man in Ben's life who remains in the dark about his husband's attack. Could we see Ben finally open up to Callum?

With his little sister betraying him, and his upcoming wedding to Kat Slater, Phil really has hit the ground running since his release from prison.

Viewers will also be thrilled to see the return of two much-loved characters to the soap as Stacey stumbles across her mum working in a holiday park, but she's not alone as it's soon revealed she's staying with Big Mo.

The holiday is a last-minute plan after Stacey remembers she has a holiday to use up, one she booked before the pandemic. After both Martin and Kheerat decline her invitation of a getaway, she later finds herself going away with both of them!

The scenes will feature around Jean's guilt over her recent bipolar episode, but Stacey explains she's not leaving the holiday park, and returning home without her mum.

Meanwhile back in Walford, Suki will have her own problems to deal with when business partner Ranveer makes it obvious what he expects as part of their new business deal.

As things escalate throughout the week, things take a dramatic turn when Suki is forced to defend herself against slimeball Ranveer and smashes him over the head, leaving him laying lifeless on the floor. Has she killed him?

Two more characters who haven't been seen on our screens for some time will make an appearance next week when we head over to the Vic, and things between Mick, Janine, and Linda are getting tense.

With Linda back on her feet, her heated relationship with Mick seems to be cooling off as the pair are back on friendlier terms. Unfortunately, this annoys Janine who is still being cautious about the prospect of Linda's memory of her accident returning at any moment.

Over at the Highway's and Stuart is still struggling with his post-natal depression, especially since the departure of his wife, Rainie. Will anyone around him convince him to get the help he needs?

With many upcoming departures from the show, we would expect to see the beginnings of these storylines kicking off any day now. We have Stuart Highway, Mick Carter and Dana Monroe leaving us, and of course Lola Pearce's tragic death later this year.

EastEnders airs next week on BBC One and BBC Two. All episodes will be available to watch from Monday on BBC iPlayer.
