Here is our round-up of all the biggest moments coming up in Albert Square. You can also check out our collection of 47 spoiler pictures from next week’s episodes.

1. Josh visits Jasmine

With Jasmine’s trial just around the corner, Ritchie fears that Patrick’s statement could compromise the teenager’s already fragile position.

As a result, Ritchie encourages Kat to provide a character statement about Jasmine in court. Initially, Kat refuses, but soon reconsiders after Zoe expresses her fear that Josh will leave Walford if Jasmine is found guilty.

Elsewhere, Josh feels torn between Patrick and Jasmine, so he visits his sister to try and uncover the truth himself.

Meanwhile, Kat feels concerned as the pressure to defend Jasmine jeopardises her relationship with Zoe.

Will Kat come to Jasmine’s defence?

2. Nicola feels heartbroken

Recovering from her emergency caesarean section in hospital, Nicola feels increasingly frustrated that she is still in isolation and unable to see her baby.

George pays a visit to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where he is offered the opportunity to have skin-to-skin contact with his daughter. However, the dad-of-four refuses on the basis that Nicola should be the first to do so.

Nicola then blames George for her agonising situation, claiming that he was too busy with the launch of Knight Fusion while she was pregnant.

With Nicola determined to see her daughter, what will her next move be?

3. Zack tries to protect Martin’s memory

After Ross and Harvey scheme to swipe the keys to Martin’s shed to build a man cave, Zack declares that they are being disrespectful to Martin’s memory.

However, Zack changes his mind after speaking to Barney, who convinces him that Martin would have been appreciative of the idea.

Now on board, Zack tries to persuade Jean to give Ross and Harvey her blessing – but Jean ends up catching the pair trying to nab the keys anyway!

Will Ross and Harvey have to abandon their plan?

4. Kat takes the stand

When Jasmine’s trial begins, the Trueman and Slater families are still at odds with one another.

To make matters more complicated, Sandra informs Denise, Yolande, Chelsea and Kim that she plans to move to Southend with Josh, but Jasmine and Zoe are yet to find out.

Subsequently, Kat tries to track Sandra down to find out more about her adoptive daughter’s upbringing.

But when Kat is called to take the stand after Patrick, will her statement help or hinder Jasmine’s case?

5. George declares his love

At long last, Nicola is finally allowed to hold baby Ivy. Moved by the sight of mum and daughter, George tells Nicola that he loves her, but she doesn’t reciprocate his words.

Harry soon hears about the emotional moment, which prompts him to advise Nicola not to let her past ruin her future.

Will Nicola heed her son’s wise words?

6. Ross confides in Zack

While cleaning up Martin’s shed, Ross confides in his mates that he’s been paranoid about Vicki’s behaviour ever since she confessed to cheating on him.

Zack attempts to cover up his guilt, then tries to warn Vicki that Ross is suspicious of her, but he is interrupted when Ross arrives to break news about Joel.

What update does Ross have to share?

7. Penny shares fake DNA results

Knowing about Penny’s paternity dilemma, Lauren gives her cousin some food for thought. Penny then observes a softer side to Harry and recruits Oscar to help her out.

Later in the week, Nicola and George continue to visit baby Ivy in hospital, despite feeling exhausted. Once Nicola returns, Penny pays her visit and produces a document with fake DNA results.

Is Penny right to worry that Nicola might catch her out in her lie?

8. Jasmine faces her verdict

With her trial under way, Jasmine is forced to choose between delivering her own statement or pleading guilty in the hope of receiving a shorter sentence.

Later in the week, Jasmine hears the verdict being read out in court. Kat returns to The Vic, where she makes a statement about moving forward.

Will Jasmine be jailed or freed?

9. Vicki storms out on Ross

After talking to Ross about Joel, Vicki feels uncertain, but resolves to work things through with her fiancée.

The couple then confront the reality of Joel’s future, before Zack encourages Vicki to be truthful about her feelings. In response, Vicki admits that she feels hesitant, leading Ross to make an ill-judged comment.

As Vicki storms out on Ross, is it the end of the road for the pair?

10. Elaine hosts a campaign event

While Elaine revels in the public support for her campaign event, Johnny and Linda struggle to repair their relationship.

Elsewhere on the Square, Ian is disappointed by the turn out for his event. All is not lost for Ian, though, as he later agrees to go on a date with Bea, despite questions from a journalist about his previous marriages.

Is this the start of a blossoming romance for Ian and Bea?
