Danger is lurking around every corner in Albert Square, and tensions are about to explode as secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and lives hang in the balance. In the coming episodes of EastEnders, Walford’s residents are on edge—because someone isn’t going to make it out unscathed.

It all starts when Stacey notices something suspicious happening around the café. She brushes it off at first, blaming stress and lack of sleep. But things escalate when she finds an anonymous note slipped under her door: “You’re being watched.” Fearing for her family’s safety, she turns to Martin for help—but Martin is already caught up in a dangerous situation of his own. A shady debt from his past has come back to haunt him, and the people demanding payment aren’t playing around. He tries to hide the truth from Stacey, but she knows something is wrong—and when she starts digging, what she finds terrifies her.

Meanwhile, Ben is spiraling. Still haunted by the trauma of his past, he begins acting out, pushing away Callum and those closest to him. But it’s not just emotional turmoil—Ben becomes obsessed with finding out who’s been following Lexi on her way to school. A shadowy figure has been spotted lurking near the playground, and while everyone else assumes it’s nothing, Ben refuses to let it slide. When he confronts the stranger one evening, it ends in a physical altercation—and what happens next could change his life forever.

Elsewhere, Suki Panesar is fighting her own battles. The cracks in her marriage to Nish are becoming more visible by the day, and when she secretly meets up with Eve once again, she’s faced with an impossible choice. Eve is desperate for Suki to break free and leave Nish for good—but Nish has already started suspecting something. In a chilling moment of control, he corners Suki late at night and tells her, “If I can’t have you, no one will.” The threat isn’t lost on her.

Across town, Denise is beginning to question everything. Ravi’s behavior has become increasingly erratic, and a shocking discovery in his flat leaves her shaken. There are whispers about a mysterious figure returning to Walford, someone from Ravi’s dark past—and Denise realizes that whatever secret he’s hiding could put not only her but also Jack and their children in serious danger.

As tensions rise, Sharon receives a phone call that stops her cold. It’s from Keanu, who’s been off the radar since his dramatic exit. He warns her to be careful, that something dangerous is brewing in the Square—and that the people she trusts might not be who they seem. Sharon tries to keep it quiet, but Phil overhears part of the conversation. Suspicious and angry, he starts digging, and what he uncovers might just bring the Mitchell family crashing down.

Meanwhile, Freddie is acting strangely. Ever since his trip away, he’s been withdrawn, twitchy, and hiding things from his friends. Bobby notices, and tries to get through to him—but Freddie keeps insisting everything is fine. That is, until he breaks down in the middle of The Vic, screaming that someone is after him. Everyone is stunned. Is Freddie suffering from paranoia, or is there truly a threat looming in the shadows?

Amid all this chaos, a major event is set to rock Walford: a fire breaks out in the market square late at night, and no one knows who started it—or why. Emergency services rush in, but not everyone is accounted for. As smoke fills the air and loved ones search frantically for missing family members, one question remains: who’s in danger—and who won’t survive the night?

In the days that follow, the community is shaken. Hospital beds are filled, secrets are revealed, and old enemies come face to face once more. Some residents will be forced to make life-or-death decisions. Others will discover truths they were never meant to know. And one family will never be the same again.

Coming soon, EastEnders delivers some of its most gripping episodes yet—where the line between friend and foe blurs, and every decision could be fatal. In Walford, no one is truly safe… and when danger knocks, it might already be too late.
