Next week on EastEnders, Zack and Lauren's secret is exposed during Whitney's exit week.

Meanwhile, two familiar faces make a surprising, but welcome, return to Walford – and one quickly has romance on the brain.

Here's a full collection of the biggest moments coming up:

1. Zack tries to stop the truth emerging

On Cloud Nine following the birth of Dolly, Whitney and Zack have second thoughts about cancelling the wedding and decide to go ahead with it after all.

But Zack's secret tryst with Lauren still hangs over him and he is desperate to make sure that she does not find out the truth – something that may be difficult thanks to Britney and Bianca knowing all about it.

With his guilt rising, it seems that this is another Walford wedding that could be doomed.

2. Kat and Alfie face an intruder

Alfie calls Kat when he thinks there is a burglary at the flat, and he arms himself with a toy baseball bat to take them on – only to discover that it is Freddie and Big Mo.

But the return causes problems when Freddie realises there is no space for him now that Kat has moved in.

But when comments about a romantic reunion between Kat and Alfie start to grate on her, Kat decides she should be the one to move out and make way.

3. Junior hides a secret

George's son Junior has arrived on Albert Square, but he is only there to spend time with his sisters, not his dejected father – which proves to be tough for George when he watches his children bonding without him.

The new status quo is almost immediately upended though by the arrival of Monique and Xavier, which leads the family to think that Junior might be keeping something secret from them.

4. Britney has a decision to make

The big wedding is going ahead, but the road to 'I do' is not an easy one as Zack’s cheating secret is on the verge of being revealed to the bride-to-be.

Seeing Whitney close to Lauren, and watching as Zack tries to mask his guilt, Britney struggles to keep the sordid details to herself – even after Lily tells her how much Whitney deserves happiness.

Despite deciding to stay quiet, it all becomes too much for Britney as Whit walks down the aisle, and she blurts out the truth – leaving Whitney devastated.

5. Elaine tries to build bridges

The arrival of Junior's family should be a cause for celebration for the Knight's and while they are delighted to see them, the joy is hampered by the tension that exists between Junior and George.

Elaine decides that she should be the one to do something about it when Junior makes a hasty exit, and she tells him that she wants him and his family to move in with them and settle in Walford.

Junior does agree, with a little assist from Gina, but it appears as though there is still some way to go before he and George make amends.

6. Lauren faces a backlash

Whitney is left reeling after Britney's bombshell revelation and while she tries to process what she has been told, there are others who are also facing disapproving looks from the locals.

When Lauren heads to The Vic with Penny for a drink and a debrief, she has to face the judgement of the others there – and that includes an angry Bianca who, true to form, has a few things to say about the situation.

7. George makes progress

Elaine is less than impressed when she hears Linda, Gina and Anna discussing her latest issue with George, and she makes it clear that she wants them to all keep her nose out of her business.

George, meanwhile, attempts to form a bond with Monique and Xavier and has a breakthrough with Monique when she shares her Ghanian heritage, and offers to share with him all she has learned about it.

8. Whitney has to face Zack

With things more strained than ever between Whitney and Zack, she hopes to be able to avoid him for as long as possible, but the arrival of Peach's Baby Loss certificate makes that impossible.

It serves as a reminder to Whitney that they need to jointly go and register Dolly's birth, and she goes to see him to discuss it.

9. Freddie has plans for Kat and Alfie

With Kat set to move out so that Freddie can move back in, Freddie tries to put a halt to the plan in the hope that it will lead to Kat and Alfie getting back together.

But there may in fact be romance coming from an unexpected place when Mo sets her sights on one of the more recent arrivals in Albert Square – Stevie.

The pair return to No.31 as they are not ready to call time on their evening together, with a surprised Freddie Anna and Bobby watching on.

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
