According to our daily guide, the EastEnders episodes airing the next week will see severe tensions rise among close relatives and families, with relationships at an all-time low.
Due to Freddie’s (Bobby Brazier) insistence on learning the truth about his father, the Slaters are in difficulty.
The family wants to keep the tragic news a secret, but when Freddie locates Graham, he chooses to meet with him despite not knowing Graham’s malevolent nature or what he did to Little Mo.
Will Freddie learn the truth when he meets his father face to face?
The Knights are also preoccupied with looking for a missing family member, with Anna (Mollie Rainford) still looking for her mother Cindy.
She quickly receives information regarding her whereabouts. However, not everyone supports her mission, as evidenced by sister Gina (Francesca Henry), who turns to drugs for comfort.
And while they are unaware that Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) is battling bulimia, his loved ones unintentionally make crude remarks about his eating habits.
However, Honey (Emma Barton), who has experienced the sickness herself, recognises the symptoms.
Here is a preview of next week.
