Plus... Linda and Shirley Carter are at WAR
Last updated 18th Nov 2018
It's all kicking off in Albert Square, from Phil Mitchell surprising everyone with his shock return to Ruby Allen remembering something about that horrific night... but first let's recap. Hayley Slater's mum Bev continued to try and put her daughter off motherhood but Kat Moon was having absolutely none of it.
Ruby Allen decided it was time to move out of the Slater household even though Stacey wanted her BFF to stay. Also Alfie Moon made a shock return to the square and dropped a huge bombshell on his estranged wife Kat. Oh the drama.
That wasn't everything though because Max and Rainie Branning discovered that Cora Cross was planning to out their sham marriage and the fact that her daughter slept with Jack Branning. Eek!
Things kicked off in the square and poor Rainie ended up in hospital with a visit from the police... Tiffany Butcher also made a new friend in Evie but there seems to be something shady about her. Elsewhere Dot and Dr Legg make a startling discovery when they visited his parents grave.
Now we're all caught up on last week's spoilers/everything that will air this week, here's all the drama that's set to happen next week...
