EastEnders lines up a particularly spooky Halloween season, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, and it’s not looking too good for The Six as the walls close in.
The Six, as viewers know, have been desperately trying to keep the events of last Christmas under wraps, after they almost killed abuser Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) and claimed the life of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).
Nish has long had his suspicions about what really happened over the festive season and, next week, his suspicions grow after he overhears a clandestine meeting between Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal).
Determined to get to the bottom of what the women are hiding, he wastes little time in digging deeper as he rumbles their secret get-together.
The women desperately try to remember their statements from Christmas, while Nish accompanies them to the station as they’re re-interviewed by DC Arthurs.
With Nish piling on the pressure and seemingly holding her over a barrel, Suki lures her fellow matriarchs to No. 41 under false pretences and things escalate quite dramatically, as the women realise just how much danger they’re in, with their futures left hanging in the balance.
The rest of the week proves tense for everyone involved, with Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) desperately trying to focus on her Halloween party at the Vic, while Suki is forced to let Nish to move back in.
After closing on Halloween, The Six are summoned to the Vic by Nish – and await their fate.
The question is: just what does the abuser have lined up for them? Either way, it’s not going to have a good outcome with Nish involved, is it?
Elsewhere in the Square during the week in question, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) is riddled with guilt over speaking to social services while Martin Fowler (James Bye) receives an unexpected shock.
It’s a week not to be missed in the Square!
EastEnders airs these scenes between Monday, October 28 and Thursday, October 31 at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
