5 EastEnders spoilers next week

1. Zoe Slater shocks Kat Moon with a new bombshell

Zoe is eager to meet with the private investigator, but Kat explains she needs to hold off until Sharon Watts returns, as Sharon is currently with Vicki Fowler.

Kat quickly becomes preoccupied with other issues, as she and Alfie Moon are annoyed by the constant arguing between Zoe and Jean Slater.

Kat later offers to assist in the search for Zoe’s son, but becomes very angry when she learns Zoe has been stealing money from the cash register.

Kat, upset about the money, follows Zoe to a secret meeting with a private investigator and then attempts to comfort her daughter.

But when Zoe lies to the investigator, Kat is suspicious.

At The Queen Vic pub, Zoe overhears Kat telling Alfie that Zoe needs to start behaving better, or she’ll have to leave.

Things grow tense between Kat and Zoe, but they are distracted by a cat trapped in the pub.

Once she’s rescued the cat, Zoe makes amends with her mum.

But when Kat presses her for a truth, Zoe drops a bombshell. What has she revealed?

Is it linked to her recent claim about the father of her children?

2. Nigel Bates hands himself in after causing a car crash

Nigel prepares to sell his beloved car, but then he accidentally damages it.

Lauren Branning lowers the price, but Nigel goes ahead with the purchase because he and Julie need the money for their trip to India.

Nigel asks Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) for one last car ride, and a plan forms in his mind when he finds the missing keys.

Following an argument with Julie, Nigel went for a drive to clear his head. However, when Julie called, he became upset and lost focus, leading to a car crash.

Nigel is left reeling from his actions, and as the week continues, the accident plays on his mind.

Nigel questioned Julie, but she claimed she’d been driving. Nigel didn’t believe her and decided to investigate further.

Despite still claiming she was behind the wheel, Julie allows Nigel to take responsibility and confess to Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) that he caused the accident.

As Jack accompanies Nigel to the police station, will Nigel go to prison?

Or will his dementia be considered by detectives?

3. Mysterious Jasmine fishes for Cindy Beale gossip – but an evening out takes a worrying turn

At The Albert, Jasmine comforts Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) about her problems with Harry, but they quickly start talking about Cindy instead.

Jasmine is trying to get some juicy news when Oscar Branning, recently freed from electronic monitoring, jumps into the conversation and attempts to win her over.

But Jasmine snaps and after Oscar storms off, Gina and Jasmine decide to go for a drink elsewhere.

Soon, though, the girls’ night takes a troubling turn.

What happens next? And why is Jasmine so fixated on Cindy?

4. Tobias “Okie” Okyere threatens Harry Mitchell

George Knight is worried about where Kojo Asare is, so Okie tells Harry to call Kojo and find out what’s going on.

During a phone call, Harry advises Kojo, who is being forced to work for Okie and Ravi Gulati (played by Aaron Thiara), to escape.

So, things get really weird when I get this strange text message seemingly from Harry’s phone. Naturally, I turn to my half-brother, Billy, to talk it through – he’s always been a good sounding board.

And Okie, fuming at Harry, insists he orders Kojo to return to the handlers.

When Harry refuses, Okie threatens him.

Still worried, Teddy tells Billy he’s going to Cardiff to find Harry.

But, much to Harry’s horror, Kojo returns to the flat.

Will the pair ever be saved?

5. Callum Highway worries over Johnny Carter’s business partner amid Lexi Pearce conflict

Lexi is still distant with Johnny. Meanwhile, Callum and Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) suggest Johnny consider a new business deal with someone he used to work with.

When Johnny’s ex-client, Tim, arrives for their meeting, he impresses Elaine straight away.

Just as they started talking about Elaine’s work, Callum showed up and was surprised to find Tim wasn’t who he thought he was.

Callum eventually gave me a heads-up about what Tim might be up to, but Johnny and I decided to go into business with him anyway. We figured we could handle it, or maybe we just wanted to see what would happen.

Things quickly shifted back to Lexi, and honestly, I was right there with Billy! It was kind of annoying seeing Johnny try to win her over with presents. It just felt…off, you know?

Billy tells Callum to make it stop, but Callum feels torn when Johnny impresses Lexi by offering to take her to a concert.

Will he do the right thing?
