Jack Branning 'rumbles' The Six as he makes shock discovery
EastEnders' Jack Branning could rumble The Six next week as he makes a shock discovery. Soap fans will recall that over the festive period, The Six - made up of Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, Suki Panesar, Linda Carter, Sharon Watts and Kathy Beale - grouped to cover up a murder.
During the explosive episode, Suki's abusive husband Nish tried to stop her from leaving him for lover Eve Unwin as he got aggressive. The Six stepped in and Denise whacked him over the head with a champagne bottle. After thinking he was dead, he was able to be revived but during the dramatic scenes, Sharon's jilted groom Keanu showed up and attempted to take her son, Albie, where he started strangling Sharon to which Linda stabbed him.

EastEnders' Jack Branning could rumble The Six next week as he makes a shock discovery (BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)So far, The Six have covered up the murder by hiding Keanu's body in the abandoned café following the fire, pretending Keanu attacked Nish before going on the run. Last week, Stacey found herself being framed for hitting Nish by the character himself after he was left humiliated by her and Kat Slater. Nish decided to give DC Whisson a call regarding the events of Christmas, where he lied and said Stacey attacked him.
Stacey was taken to the police station for questioning, where she made a desperate plea to Jack, who she is having an affair with, to help clear her name. Later, Stacey was released without charge but she may have landed The Six in huge trouble after making two mistakes.
Stacey's first mistake was saying the women have "stories" instead of statements, leaving Jack suspicious, and later she accidentally confessed that Denise attacked Nish before trying to backtrack on the claims. In upcoming scenes, Amy and Ricky beg Jack to let them see Denise, who has been sectioned following the stress from Christmas. However, Denise is refusing to see anyone.
Meanwhile, Johnny insists that Stacey needs to get to Denise before Jack or the kids do as otherwise The Six run the risk of their secret being blown wide open. After pressure from Johnny, Stacey asks Denise if she can visit. Later at the hospital, Denise tells Stacey she's no longer seeing hallucinations of Keanu but she wants to stay in hospital.
However, Stacey argues that she needs her loved ones around her and things take an awkward turn when Jack walks in, demanding to know why Stacey is there. Stacey is quick to think of an excuse as she creates a cover story but Jack is left hurt when Denise turns him away. Later in the week, Jack is rattled over Stacey's secret visit to Denise as he starts to do some digging...
Affair twist as one character left devastated over Albert Square gossip
One EastEnders character will be left upset next week to learn that they are the subject of gossip on the hit BBC One soap. In upcoming scenes, Jean Slater steps in to save the day when Jade Masood is about to cancel her charity auction. However, later in the week, Jean struggles with a lack of donations for the auction. Stepping in to help, Pastor Clayton and Yolande Trueman offer their support.

However, the sweet moment is soon ruined when Yolande discovers from fellow church-goer Agatha that people are whispering about her relationship with Pastor Clayton.
Things go from bad to worse later in the week when an upsetting incident at the church leaves Yolande feeling worse about the rumours flying around her and Pastor Clayton. However, it's not long until Pastor Clayton makes her tell him what is going on and he is quick to denounce the gossip, making Yolande promise that it won't affect their friendship.
George Knight twist which changes everything after bombshell admission
EastEnders will air a huge twist next week, as everything changes for George Knight. George has just learned that his father Eddie Knight was responsible for the death of his biological father. He had assumed he was of Jamaican descent but as the truth came out about what really happened to George's biological parents and the fact they were actually from Ghana and not Jamaica as he thought, it has left a huge hole in everything he thought was true.
Next week on the BBC soap, George is clearly struggling to cope and when the DNA tests come back to say no matches have been found, he is crestfallen about the fact that there is no trace of his birth family. Elaine and Cindy implore him to tell the kids the truth about their heritage, which he reluctantly does and they are horrified to learn the truth about what Eddie has done.

Gloria calls the pub, begging George to give Eddie a good character witness, so he heads over to speak to them and warns them never to make contact with him or see him again. Eddie tells George that he's got some information about his birth mother, but says he will only give it to him if George gives him a character witness in court tomorrow.
EastEnders will air a huge twist next week (BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)The next day, Elaine asks Johnny to talk George through the legal implications of giving such a statement but he's still unsure what to do. After a heart to heart with Linda, he goes to court and makes a decision based on his gut. What will he do?
A mysterious woman arrives at the court, leaving Gloria distracted, but who is she? George takes to the stand, but what does he say, and is it good or bad news for Eddie? Elsewhere, Elaine remains worried for George following the trial and urges him to calm down for the sake of his kids. However, they are interrupted by an arrival at The Vic, which changes everything, but who is it?
Colin Salmon - who plays George - explained how his character feels he has "no choice". "George now feels he has no choice because all other avenues are closed, and Eddie has this nugget of information to share. I like to think of George and Eddie as always in the boxing ring, testing each other out. Eddie knows George's buttons, so he's making a play in doing this. It's a brilliant war strategy that leaves George with no choice," he said.
