EastEnders car crash as victims ‘sealed’
The BBC soap will air a car crash according to new spoilers, as recently teased in a trailer on social media. Nothing was given away then about who is caught up in the crash.
But now, amid a possible bombshell, new spoilers may have let slip who could be in serious danger. It’s not known if anyone dies in the crash, and who exactly is injured.
That said, new teasers have revealed a number of characters are in cars ahead of the incident. One of the cars ends up going over a bridge and into the water below, with the fallout kept completely under wraps.
Post-accident there’s very little spoiler information being shared, so viewers will have to tune in all of next week to find out what exactly goes down and who lives – and if anyone dies. It all kicks off when Harry Mitchell confesses to dad Teddy Mitchell that Barney is not his son.
As Nicola Mitchell does her best to deny the accusation to husband Teddy she’s forced to admit everything leading to a painful confrontation with her husband, with Zack Hudson outed as Barney’s real dad. Harry who takes action though, as he bundles Zack into his car boot before speeding out of Walford.
Teddy fears his won will go too far and when he spots his brother Billy Mitchell taking Honey and Nigel to the cinema, he intercepts them. He begs them to follow Harry to save Zack before it’s too late. Soon, one of the cars veer off the road and falls into a lake – but which car is it, and who is in danger?
Emmerdale wedding nightmare
It’s the big wedding of John Sugden and Aaron Dingle next week, with a format shake-up and the possible truth about two big twists. John is left in a panic when he realises the lake is being dredged and his ex Aidan Moore has woken from his coma.
It seems there’s more to be told about what led to Aidan being in a coma for years, with it believed he would never regain consciousness. But next week it’s confirmed that he’s awake, and soon John is fearful Aidan will expose his lies and the truth about their past.
Viewers know John killed Nate Robinson last September and no one in the village knows. That could be about to change though, as with the lake needing clearing and Nate’s body being in said lake surely it’s only a matter of time before the murder is finally exposed.
With that and Aidan and Aaron having jitters, will the big day go ahead? Will they even make it to the vows? Viewers will be treated to multiple outcomes before seeing what actually happens, with each episode next week forming the same day. We will see John’s fears come to life before finding out whether or not the pair get married.
Coronation Street icon returns
There’s the return of Jason Grimshaw next week, as actor Ryan Thomas steps back onto the cobbles for the first time in nine years. His mother Eileen Grimshaw is still struggling after the death of her sister Julie Carp, with Eileen facing trouble after it’s revealed the drugs found in Julie’s system were the painkillers prescribed for her, not Julie.
A remark from Brian who has already accused Eileen of helping Julie to die leaves her snapping and banning him from the funeral. George Shuttleworth tries to support his partner but feels shut out.
Later in the week the day of Julie’s funeral arrives, and Eileen gives Brian a letter from Julie. This leads to him confronting her over Julie’s life insurance policy, pointing out that she’s the only beneficiary yet failed to mention it.
Tracy Barlow pipes up and accuses Eileen of orchestrating her sister’s death for the money, but it’s George Eileen turns on as she blames him for the funeral being ruined. As things take a turn Jason shows up, with an emotional Eileen rushing over to embrace her son.
