Spoilers for next week’s EastEnders tease plenty of drama, a possible comeback and a double exit, amid more revenge chaos.

Nish Panesar is back to causing chaos for his family ahead of his death, and now he’s targeting a former character it seems. But will it lead to their return?

Soon enough he’s making a cryptic phone call, but what does he have up his sleeve this time? Also next week, fans will see a possible double exit as a bombshell unravels across a family.

There’s more than one romance twist with an affair rumbling on too. One character is forced to act when they put their foot in it, just as their father is keen to avoid any drama.

A key character in next week’s episodes is Nish, who is confirmed to be leaving the show soon. The terminally ill villain comes up with a plan as his ex Suki and her fiancée Eve flaunt their engagement plans in front of him.

He asks son Vinny to speak to former character Habiba Ahmed, wanting to arrange for her son Tye, Nish’s grandson, to visit Walford. As residents gather to celebrate the engagement party, Vinny reveals that Nish has arranged for Suki’s grandson Tye to visit.
