As a longtime EastEnders enthusiast, I’ve seen enough soap opera twists and turns to last a lifetime. But this week’s episodes have left me utterly bewildered!
The upcoming events surrounding the murder of Debbie Colwell, portrayed by Jenny Meier, will have significant repercussions. This is because Reiss, played by Jonny Freeman, and his expectant fiancée, Sonia Fowler, portrayed by Natalie Cassidy, are being taken into custody!
We all know Reiss is guilty, but will Sonia take the fall instead?
In the meantime, Michelle Collins’ character, Cindy Beale, is adamant that Micah Balfour’s character, Junior Knight, should decide between them. Will her request lead to the outcome she desires?
In simpler terms, Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) might jeopardize his bond with Jean Slater (Gillian Wright), whereas Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) has to convey difficult information regarding her son Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).
In the end, Elijah Holloway as Harry Mitchell infuriates Zaraah Abrahams’ character, Chelsea Fox. This situation then leads to a hint of a captivating family mystery being unveiled…
Here are all your EastEnders spoilers from 19th – 22nd August 2024.
5 EastEnders spoilers next week
1. Sonia Fowler and Reiss Colwell arrested for Debbie Colwell’s murder
In the approaching deadline for Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden) repayment, Reiss is in a state of distress. He attempts to persuade Sonia to join him on an outing, hoping to find some respite. However, Sonia declines. Moved by Kathy’s gesture, she finds herself touched as Kathy proposes hosting an engagement party for her instead.
While unexpectedly, a heated Phil shows up at our door, leaving me in a position where I must confess to Sonia that I owe him money today, which unfortunately, I can’t pay.
Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) and Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) manage to de-escalate the tense moment, while Sonia tries to delay things by appealing to Sharon on Reiss’s behalf.
Later, Teddy opts to assume Phil’s debt, a move that leaves Reiss astonished as they seal the agreement. Reiss wonders if it’s too good an offer to pass up, while Sonia is unsettled when she learns from Sharon that Teddy has shouldered Reiss’s debt, a detail Reiss had kept hidden from her.
Apart from her concerns, Sonia’s apprehension extends to an upcoming ultrasound scan, which is due in eight weeks. In the hospital, she voices her reservations to Reiss, stating that entering into an agreement with someone who isn’t well-acquainted seems reckless.
On the Square, Martin Fowler (James Bye) subtly alerts Reiss that authorities are probing into his connections with Debbie, causing some concern. At home, Reiss experiences a sudden fit of anxiety, and Sonia endeavors to console him.
Afterward, they make their way to their engagement party at The Queen Vic. However, the festivities are abruptly halted when the police arrive and apprehend both Sonia and Reiss for the murder of Debbie!
Detectives question Sonia and Reiss since they’ve got physical proof that Debbie was killed. Given that Sonia had visited Debbie prior to the time when Reiss allegedly smothered his wife with her own pillow, there are suspicions about whether Sonia might unwittingly become a suspect in this crime.
2. Cindy Beale gives Junior Knight an ultimatum
In the story, character George Knight (played by Colin Salmon) advises his daughter Gina Knight (portrayed by Francesca Henry) to discover the identity of the unknown woman in her brother Junior’s life – without realizing that she is George’s former spouse, Cindy.
At Beale’s Eels, Cindy notices Gina attempting to access Junior’s phone without permission. When questioned, Gina reveals her intentions, prompting Cindy to immediately inform Junior about the situation. However, Cindy becomes annoyed when Junior doesn’t show up for a clandestine gathering they had arranged at a later time.
Upon reaching The Vic, she discovers Junior presenting a woman named Maxine as his date to his family. Junior attempts to convince an increasingly angry Cindy that this charade is merely meant to divert his father and siblings from the real situation.
Despite Cindy’s continued anger, matters escalate as Gina spreads the rumor that Junior had an affair with Maxine. Junior then feels snubbed by Cindy, and accuses her of being overly dramatic. In response, Cindy sets a condition – if he wants to be with her, he must end any relationships with others!
Over the course of the week, Junior informs Gina that he’s broken things off with Maxine, all while aware that Cindy is within earshot. This news brings a smile to Cindy’s face, as she’s delighted by Junior’s decision.
When George unknowingly offers Junior some guidance about relationships, he ends up using that advice in his secret relationship with Cindy. For how much longer will this duo persist?
3. Will Harvey Monroe and Jean Slater split after shock emergency?
Harvey is putting in a great deal of effort, aiming to generate income for Maya Houssain (Bharti Patel). However, this dedication has left Jean feeling upset and puzzled, as Harvey often chooses work over coming home to her, and she wishes to understand why.
As a seasoned observer of human behavior and someone who has had my fair share of financial struggles, I can empathize with Harvey’s decision to take cab fares to earn extra money. It’s not uncommon for people to resort to various means to supplement their income, especially when they find themselves in tight spots.
However, when he dozes off in the sweltering vehicle with Charli in the rear, they’re fortunately noticed by Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) before it’s too late. Panicking, Harvey rushes them both to the hospital, fearing he might have endangered Charli.
In the aftermath, Jean and Harvey’s relationship hangs by a thread. Will they split for good?
4. Kathy Cotton brings bad news of Ben Mitchell
Kathy returns from America, where she has been visiting incarcerated son Ben.
Kathy shares with Phil that Ben’s condition is critical, and to try and find him a better legal representation, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) has decided to stay involved.
Could Kathy be requesting Phil to devote all his energy towards assisting Ben with his appeal case? Is there potential for Phil and Ian to significantly impact or possibly overturn Ben’s conviction?
5. Harry Mitchell makes a faux pas – what’s his and Teddy’s secret?
I find myself feeling quite disheartened as I bid farewell to No. 1, moving instead to No. 20. Alongside my mother, Denise Fox, portrayed by the talented Diane Parish, and our extended family, we embark on this new chapter together.
After Denise promises to aid Chelsea in rebuilding her life, Chelsea departs from her old residence only to find that it’s been bought by Teddy and his sons, Harry and Barney (Lewis Bridgeman), who plan to move in and begin anew with their fresh start.
Teddy confides to Billy (Perry Fenwick) and Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) that he’s purchased the property, and they inform him about Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith), who allegedly murdered his wife Chantelle (Jessica Plummer) and Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) within the house.
In a different turn of phrase: Teddy remains calm despite Harry’s thoughtless comment to angry Chelsea, which requires Teddy to escort his son over to apologize to her. Later, Teddy admonishes Harry for their past misdeeds and advises that they should focus on making allies in Walford instead.
Teddy proposes organizing a welcoming gathering for their newly moved-in neighbors and inviting them. With his winning personality, Teddy successfully convinces Chelsea and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) to support the idea. During the party, Chelsea is taken aback when Teddy shares that he added an unexpected term to his contract with Gray while purchasing the house.
Later, Harry sidles up to Teddy and tells him ‘you know who’ has been sniffing around their old place to find out where they’ve moved to. Teddy is adamant that he’s got everything under control – but what are they hiding?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
