EastEnders battle for The Vic takes unexpected turn as Kat is left devastated
Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) receives some mortifying news amid The Queen Vic auction in EastEnders next week. The famed boozer goes until the hammer in upcoming scenes, following Linda Carter's (Kellie Bright) decision to sell-up. As viewers of the BBC soap will recall, Linda decided that she had far too many bad memories in the building, and with her business partner mum Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) separating from husband George (Colin Salmon), it was time for a fresh start. In this week's episodes we'll see Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) proudly tell his family that he's ready to expand the family business empire – and he's got designs on The Vic. The Slater clan immediately begin to worry about what that would mean for Jean's (Gillian Wright) job, given she hasn't been on the best of terms with the clan recently. Later, Stacey (Lacey Turner) produces a scratchcard worth £100k, and with her fortunes suddenly changed, she decides to put a bid in for the pub. By next Monday, the Slaters are convinced that it'll not be long before Kat moves in to take charge, but the other residents have their doubts. Both Ian and Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) cast a shadow over her plans, and she's left disheartened. Of course, Ian's motive is purely for his own gain, still wanting to take charge himself. His ex-wife Cindy (Michelle Collins) is less than impressed when he announces his intentions to sell restaurant Beale's Eels. Ahead of the auction, Jean receives a call from Kat's husband Alfie (Shane Richie) – who is in Barcelona trying to track down her daughter Zoe (Michelle Ryan) – and fails to pass on a message to Stacey. What does Alfie want? As everyone gathers for the sale, Jean finally tells Stacey that Alfie has been in touch, and she drops a huge bombshell. She can no longer lend the money to Kat to buy the bar.

Cindy's EastEnders plan backfires in huge way as she faces the wrath of Walford
The Beales and the Knights have united to send wicked Cindy Beale's (Michelle Collins) plan crashing to the ground. Viewers of the BBC One soap have seen Cindy on the warpath over the last week, threatening to report former mother-in-law Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) to the police for attacking her at Christmas. The only thing that would buy her silence would be if she handed over No. 45 Albert Square, Beale's Eels and the Beale's Plaice chippy. Neither Kath' or her son Ian (Adam Woodyatt) were prepared to handover their livelihoods and home to the schemer, but she wouldn't let the matter drop. The situation escalated when Cindy caught Kathy kissing Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman), and after recording their dalliance, played the footage in front of everyone in The Queen Vic. This was just moments after she announced herself to be the new owner of The Prince Albert gay bar, which Kathy had signed over to her under the pretence that she had deleted the incriminating evidence. But of course, she hadn't. In tonight's episode, we picked right up from where we left off, as the stunned punters watched on in horror at the video. Ian claimed that it could have been manipulated by AI – and Harvey's partner Jean, who didn't want to believe what she had just witnessed, was inclined to agree. As tensions began to rise, Jean rushed off home where she debated her future with Harvey. Meanwhile, at the Vic's bar, the bell was rung and everyone was ordered to leave. Just the two core families at the heart of EastEnders' festive storyline remained. Cindy and Kathy both shared slaps with one another, with insults hurled across the room. Brandishing Cindy just as bad for being unfaithful, Kathy exclaimed: 'You can drop your knickers quicker than I can crack an egg!' Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

It was then that Cindy decided she would go to the police and report her, saying that she deserves compensation for everything that has happened to her. More Trending 'The only thing you deserve is to be burnt at the stake' chirped Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe). Despite everything that the clans have been through, they were brought together in their hatred and declared that Kathy was innocent – they have 'no idea' where Cindy's claims have come from… Peter (Thomas Law) then came downstairs, disgusted at both his mum and grandmother. Having just welcomed a new baby into the world, he has grown sick and tired of the constant friction and wants no more part in it. View More » While Cindy has gained a new business, and Kathy has gained a new fella – with Harvey falling back onto her arm by the end of the episode – will either of them consider that they've lost in life?
