Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) is in turmoil over her dead killer fiancé Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) in EastEnders next week, our new spoiler pictures reveal.

Still struggling to come to terms with the death of ex-husband Martin Fowler (James Bye), Sonia raises concerns from her sister Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) when she makes a big decision about whether or not to go to her killer fiancé Reiss’ funeral.

There are many heart-to-hearts between the siblings, who both suffered at the hands of Reiss’ twisted actions – but will Sonia finally get some closure?

Elsewhere on the Square, sparks fly between Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) and Harvey Monroe again (Ross Boatman), following their secret kiss last year.

With Harvey feeling pushed out by the Slaters and partner Jean (Gillian Wright) in the wake of Martin’s death, he and Kathy enjoy a late-night picnic together – and it’s not long before they share another kiss.

After all Kathy had to say about Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) affair, is she about to embark on one of her own?

Elsewhere, Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) is feeling backed into a corner following Zack Hudson’s (James Farrar) ultimatum over Barney’s paternity – but she still has a couple of tricks up her sleeve…

And as the Walford residents gather for an impromptu event at the club, the mood is ruined when someone drops a massive clanger.

Take a look at all the pictures from next week’s episodes in the gallery above.
