EastEnders will air some dramatic scenes next week - as a murder twist comes to light.

Next week, there are some big scenes on the BBC soap as the focus turns to George Knight and his parents Eddie and Gloria Knight and what they've been hiding from him in a harrowing twist. Linda Carter is still struggling following Keanu's mum Karen Taylor's recent visit, and is continuing to turn to alcohol to help her, but the arrival of a familiar face leaves her shocked.

Elsewhere, Amy continues to worry about Jack and Denise and when she organises for her dad to give her a special gift for Valentine's Day, there is clearly something up with Denise - will her secret finally be exposed?

Murder twist

In shocking scenes next week, George heads to his parents where he learns the truth about what his father Eddie has been hiding. He heads to the house, where he receives a hero's welcome from Eddie's friends.

However, it's later revealed accidentally that Eddie needs George to provide him with a character witness as he's up for a racially motivated murder, leaving George absolutely horrified. Gloria is desperate for George to help Eddie but he dismisses them and heads out for lunch with his daughter Gina for her birthday, where he tries to defend his dad.

Shock return

Elsewhere, Linda is left stunned by the arrival of a very familiar face, as her son Johnny Carter arrives in Walford. He's adamant he needs to help her, and says he will stay to support her as he asks how things got so bad. Elaine then explains how Dean Wicks is back, and Johnny rushes to confront his mum's rapist, with Ben stepping in to stop it going too far.

Johnny won't let Linda out of his sight, but she struggles with this and secretly drinks. She ends up dropping Gina's cake, which leads to Gina laughing at her. Johnny - knowing Gina dated Dean - lashes out at her for laughing, leaving Ben and Callum concerned. Ben promises to help Johnny get rid of Dean, but promises Callum it'll be all above board.

He decides what the best thing to do is to launch a civil case against Dean until Callum tells him about the 'confession' Linda made. Johnny and Gina decide to work together to get the recording from Dean and wipe it. As Dean and Johnny argue, a glass gets smashed and Linda cuts her hand. She goes ballistic, shocking everyone, and Johnny doesn't know what to do.
