There are shockwaves through Albert Square in EastEnders next week in the aftermath of Vicki Fowler’s (Alice Haig) vicious attack as she seeks help from her neighbours in the Queen Vic.

When Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) learns what has happened, he is horrified, but immediately jumps to Joel Marshall’s (Max Murray) defence when rumours begin to circulate that he was responsible.

At the hospital, Ross is relieved to hear that Vicki will make a full recovery, but tensions simmer between the pair as they discuss Joel.

Back in the Square, Joel enlists Tommy Moon’s (Sonny Kendall) help to hide him, but Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) soon senses that something is wrong with her younger brother.

As she tries to get him to see sense, Tommy keeps his lips sealed over Joel’s whereabouts.

Elsewhere, Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) turns to George Knight (Colin Salmon) when he fails to locate Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), but George assures him he’s safe with Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho).

Little do they know, Okie and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) actually have Harry locked up, and they force him to call Teddy to get him to call off the search.

When Harry finally gives up the information his captors are looking for, he is devastated when they refuse to let him go.

With Ravi deciding to leave town for a while, Okie takes the opportunity to make life miserable for Harry, starting with taking Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) on a date to mess with his head.

Meanwhile, Julie Bates’ (Karen Henthorn) tutoring session with Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) takes a turn when Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) unintentionally upsets her.

In a bid to make it up to her, Nigel decides to take Julie on a trip to India, and Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) offers to help him sell his car to fund it.

While helping Nigel, Oscar continues his mission to impress Jasmine, and is thrilled when he finally lands a date.
