EastEnders advance spoilers confirm new character arrives and Zoe Slater devastates one resident

While Zoe will first aim to get to the bottom of this particular problem, it won’t be long before she is leaving a mystery character devastated.

But who does Zoe leave heartbroken, and what has she said to them?

EastEnders will no doubt be keeping the exact nature of this twist under wraps until transmission, but while we wait for the big moment, there’s plenty more to delve into from BBC’s official spoiler lines.

A newcomer called Jasmine is about to cause trouble for Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), but who is she and where does this leave Freddie?

Also, as Freddie’s relative Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) is also departing, it looks like she has an announcement to make.

Meanwhile, Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) will lose her temper, but it’s anyone’s guess whether this is related to her stepson Joel Marshall’s (Max Murray) vile attitude, or about something else entirely.

There’s also fresh drama for Peter Beale (Thomas Law) and Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), but why is Peter behaving strangely, and what is he up to by the end of the week?
