4 EastEnders spoilers next week

1. Sonia Fowler receives mystery visitor as she prepares to leave Walford

In a turn of events, Mo Harris (Laila Morse) and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) encounter Sonia’s anger as they guide a group of true-crime enthusiasts straight to her front door.

I can’t help but share my thoughts with you, Bex (Jasmine Armfield), regarding Bianca Jackson’s (Patsy Palmer) recent interview sparking so much buzz. Here’s the twist – unbeknownst to us, a man from her tour is secretly observing our home. Quite intriguing, isn’t it?

After getting kicked out from Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon’s (Shane Richie) place, Bianca confronts Sonia, but Sonia instructs her to depart instead.

In simpler terms, Bex asks her mother to show more understanding, and when Sonia assists B after she experiences a panic attack due to being surrounded by what appeared to be fans, Sonia and Bianca reconcile.

The duo head off to Harry’s Barn for a beverage, but Bianca takes off running when she suspects an overly enthusiastic admirer might be observing them.

At the playground, the man’s true identity comes to light, but against Bianca’s entreaties, the enigmatic figure makes a visit to Sonia instead.

In a surprising turn of events, Sonia is taken aback when a hidden truth emerges, and Bianca offers comfort. However, who was the mysterious stranger that knocked on her door?

Bianca and Bex allow Sonia some privacy, while B keeps their uncle Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) informed about the current state of affairs.

Jack offers Sonia some words of wisdom, before Sonia ponders a life-changing decision.

But Sonia is torn over whether it’s time to say goodbye to Walford.

In my perspective, as I observe the situation unfolding, Bianca reaches out to both Kat and Freddie Slater, who are admirably portrayed by Bobby Brazier. Meanwhile, I notice that Sonia pays a visit to a troubled Stacey Slater, skillfully played by Lacey Turner.

The women share a warm moment as they support each other, but just how will Sonia’s exit play out?

2. Tormented Avani Nandra-Hart leans on drugs while Lily Slater makes confession

Due to Stacey’s overwhelming sorrow over Martin Fowler (James Bye), it falls on Jean to manage their granddaughter, Lily (Lillia Turner). However, Jean finds it challenging to impose discipline on her.

Lily often shares marijuana with Avani, yet becomes unscrupulous when Avani asks for compensation. Later, Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) advises Jean to reconcile with Lily, but an unexpected revelation shocks them both.

Bex is shocked by Lily’s behavior, yet Lily returns home to confront the consequences. However, Jean finds Lily leaving the house again.

Jean makes an effort to locate Lily, and upon Lily’s arrival home, Jean reprimands her. However, when Lily starts crying and confesses her mistakes, Jean softens her tone.

What does Lily confess?

Regarding Avani, she initially turns down a reconciliatory effort from Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd). However, they eventually manage to resolve their issues and settle their differences.

Sophie Khan Levy (as Mum Priya Nandra-Hart) commends Avani, yet remains oblivious to the fact that the teenager is continuing to purchase illicit substances from dealer Declan, prior to attending Amy’s party.

Following a conversation with Amy, Avani feels remorseful and discards the drugs instead. However, upon Declan’s arrival at the gathering, Avani deceives him by claiming they are friends, eventually confessing to Amy in the hope that she will contact her father, Jack, about the situation.

Priya and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) express concern for Avani and request Jack to take action to elevate their police report concerning the incident of Avani being subjected to a strip search.

Priya is encouraged to get Avani to make a formal complaint, but Avani refuses and storms out.

In a slightly different phrase, when Avani attempts to steer clear of Priya, she instead finds herself at a laundromat, where Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) makes an effort to coax Avani into sharing her feelings.

Can Yolande help Avani?

3. Nicola Mitchell left shocked by Zack Hudson’s plan to get closer to Barney

In a swift move, Zack takes advantage of the situation and proposes instructing their unaware secret son, Barney Mitchell, played by Lewis Bridgeman. Surprisingly, Teddy, portrayed by Roland Manookian, consents to this proposal.

As a passionate film critic, I found myself drawn into the heartwarming tale of “Zack’s Unexpected Coaching.” Initially, it seemed like an ordinary day, with our protagonist Zack embarking on a run. However, the arrival of Nicola from her holiday turned the mundane into the extraordinary. The twist? Zack had been secretly training Nicola’s son! This unexpected turn of events made for a gripping narrative that left me reflecting on the power of mentorship and the bonds that can form through shared experiences.

Nicola warns Zack to stay away from Barney, but Zack ignores her.

As a cinephile, I found myself drawn into a gripping narrative where our protagonist, Nicola, strategically recruited Tommy Moon (portrayed by Sonny Kendall) and Joel Marshall (brilliantly played by Max Murray), to instigate conflict with Barney during his training regimen.

Believing this is Zack’s fault, Barney flees, and an incredulous Zack rushes after Barney.

Will Zack be able to contain himself from exposing the teen’s true paternity?

4. Jean Slater grows concerned for Nigel Bates

Whenever Nigel’s dementia causes him to mix up the pharmacy with the old video store where he once worked, caring Jean graciously assists him.

In this scenario, Jean escorts Nigel home, while Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) steps in to shield Nigel’s confidential health issue from being revealed. However, Jean remains skeptical about the situation.

Later on, Jean tries to get in touch with Nigel, yet he continues to be evasive regarding his health condition, disregarding her worries.

But will Jean realise what is going on with Nigel?
