Fresh horror for The Six in EastEnders as destructive report set to be filed
Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) threatens to blow The Six's cover in EastEnders next week. 18 months on from Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) death, the women are once again fearing that they'll end up behind bars. As viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu with a meat thermometer to prevent him throttling best mate Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean). Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) then helped the ladies to conceal the murder, burying his body under the caff. Eventually, twisted Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) went to his grave with authorities believing that he was the one who committed the crime. But that wasn't before the grizzly truth was revealed to Keanu's grieving sister Bernie (Clair Norris). In the months that followed – now trustee of the Panesar business empire – she swindled the family out of thousands, placing fake invoices for repairs to their GP practice. It wasn't long after Vicki began some accountancy work on Bernie's behalf that her dodgy dealings were exposed. She threatened to tell the Panesars what Bernie was up to, unless she coughed up half of the cash so that she could pay off her debts to sister Sharon and ensure she had a roof over her head. Bernie reluctantly went along with the plan, but then turned the tables by framing Vicki. Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) knew that something suspicious was afoot after threatening Vicki and her partner's son Joel Marshall (Max Murray), and planted spyware in Bernie's laptop. The technology proved what she was up to – but before he could stop her, she fled to Spain. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

More Trending In upcoming scenes, Vicki meets with her aunty Kath' to discuss her problems, and says that she's considering reporting Bernie to the police. Now, as you can imagine, the last thing The Six need is further questioning and Bernie wouldn't hesitate to spill the truth if trouble came her way again. Desperate to find a resolution to their problems, Kathy calls Sharon to convince her to let Vicki stay put. View More » Will she be successful?

Romance confirmed for Coronation Street duo as they share a kiss
A friendship has blossomed in Coronation Street between Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) and Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) – and it looks like it's about to grow into something more. After Lauren was hospitalised when she fell and suffered serious injuries while on drugs, she was pleased that Aadi frequently visited her. What she didn't realise was that he had a guilty conscience, as it was his fault that she'd accidentally taken the drugs in the first place. Aside from the guilt, though, he does seem to genuinely care about her. He offered to lend her some money to help her out with her new flat, and helped her move her stuff in. He even gave her a housewarming gift of an air fryer. It was all a bit too good to be true as far as Lauren was concerned. She's had some terrible experiences with men in her life and couldn't believe that Aadi was being nice to her and didn't want anything in return. When Shona (Julia Goulding) made a quip about boys Aadi's age all being after the same thing, Lauren thought this confirmed her fears and she tried to put some distance between herself and Aadi. Eventually she came to realise that he was just being kind, and in upcoming episodes she invites him for tea with her and her son Frankie, and becomes aware that she's starting to have feelings for him. Lauren's previous relationship was with Max Turner (Paddy Bever). He was with her when she killed the man who'd groomed and abused her, Joel Deering (Calum Lill), and was even prepared to go to prison for the killing himself so that she wouldn't have to be parted from her son Frankie. More Trending Max is currently in prison after setting the Platts' house on fire, hoping the insurance money would enable David to clear the debt he had with Harvey Gaskell.

After all this turmoil will Lauren finally find some happiness with Aadi? She takes a step towards finding out in episodes airing soon, when Aadi admits that he likes her, too – and they share a kiss. Things are going well, until the following day Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) makes a clumsy remark about Lauren's dad being in prison. Lauren is hurt, but Dev soon makes amends with her and says he'd like to get to know her better. View More » With Dev's blessing, it looks like Aadi and Lauren are on track for a new romance.

Huge Max Branning update as Oscar shares news on returning EastEnders legend
Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) has discussed his estrangement from dad Max (Jake Wood) in EastEnders. The newcomer burst onto our screens earlier this week, fresh out of a youth detention centre after being found guilty of joyriding, and revealing to sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) that he had made a number of enemies. One of the lads, Mike (Tai Hilferink), had petrol bombed his neighbour's house and was now seeking further revenge. Now living with Lauren and Peter Beale (Thomas Law), Oscar has proven himself to be quite the windup merchant. In tonight's episodes, he was sprawled naked across the sofa when his new guardians strolled in. They were mortified, and demanded he got his act together if he intended to stay. After sponging a tenner off Peter, he went out to buy cigarettes and grab a free brekkie from the caff. Crossing Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) path and causing a little more chaos, he then dished out some flirtatious comments to Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James). His uncle Jack (Scott Maslen) clocked the interaction – and how uneasy it made her dad Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara). He's not a man to be messed with! Deciding that the time had come to get to the root cause of his problems, Jack caught up with Oscar in McKlunkys and firstly started by addressing his sexuality. Oscar opened up, revealing that he 'swings both ways', and that he had a girlfriend prior to his stint in the detention centre. The issue was that he became more attracted to the girl's father! Jack then asked when he last saw Max, to which Oscar said it was Christmas… 2022. More Trending As viewers of the soap know, Max has been living in Croatia for a number of years with his granddaughter Abi Jr. Lauren has attempted to reach out and ask for support in looking after Oscar, to no avail.

His chat with Jack seemed to be just the ticket for improving his behaviour and attitude, and he went to apologise to Ian for his earlier behaviour. However, stubborn as a mule, Ian declined his words and Oscar decided to take further action. Dropping a piece of lemon on the floor, he pretended to slip on the fruit and injure his arm.

EastEnders viewers in shock as BBC soap airs crude joke pre-watershed
EastEnders fans were left in shock during tonight's episode as Oscar Branning made an explicit joke during his second episode, which aired pre-watershed on BBC One EastEnders fans were left 'in hysterics' during tonight's episode as Oscar Branning made a crude joke. Oscar has already become a huge hit with fans after he returned to the Square - as actor Pierre Moullier made his debut. Fans were left in stitches from the moment Oscar came onscreen during last night's EastEnders - as his sister Lauren Branning went to pick him up from the youth detention centre. Oscar was previously living with his mum Tanya, although fans learnt she'd kicked him out after getting in trouble for stealing a car. Oscar wasted no time getting up to mischief, flirting with his brother-in-law Peter Beale and taunting Ian as soon as he was released. During tonight's double bill, he went one step further, trying to make a claim in Ian's chippy. As Stacey Slater watched on and observed, Oscar threw a chip on the floor, and proceeded to pretend to slip and break his shoulder. His Uncle Jack came running in and Ian agreed to settle the incident with cash instead of getting insurers involved. However, it later became clear to Ian that Oscar had set the whole thing up - as he demanded his money back. While on the floor pretending to be in pain with a broken arm, Oscar of course managed to slip in a few jokes. One of which had viewers in hysterics. "This is my dominate arm Uncle Jack, how am I supposed to reintegrate back into society as a functioning human like this?" Oscar exclaimed, as Ian responded in disbelief: "He's milking it!" "I can't milk it Brian, that's sort of the point," Oscar responded - as many fans picked up on the explicit joke. Taking to Reddit one fan penned: "Was that a masturbation gag? At 6am, on a school day!" Another responded: "Got a proper belly laugh out of me. He's such a terror, I love it!" A third penned: "Oscar on his faked arm injury; 'I can't milk 'it' bro, that's sorta the point!' Eeewww, but Oscar, you're already a lege!" Days before Oscar's return, the BBC soap announced the highly anticipated return of his father Max Branning, played by Jake Wood. Max left the soap in 2021, and fans have been eagerly awaiting his return ever since. Speaking on coming back to Albert Square, Jake said: 'I'm over the moon to be coming home to Walford. Max has got lots of unresolved drama with many characters, so I'm sure he'll be busy. 'I'm excited to see what he's been up to, and what is next for the character, but if his last 15 years in the Square are anything to go by, I'm sure there will be plenty of chaos.'Max will return briefly in autumn, before making a permanent return later in the year.

Unexpected Emmerdale character sees killer John for who he really is
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) got quite the shock in tonight's Emmerdale as he came face to face with someone who recently saw his dark side. Shortly after Robert Sugden's (Ryan Hawley) returned to the village, he tried to make Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) jealous by going on a date with a man called Owen. Robert's plan didn't bother Aaron in the slightest. Outside The Hide though, while Robert was away, Owen slipped something in his drink, and John witnessed the entire thing. Desperate to get rid of his sibling, John spied an opportunity. He confronted Owen and scared him away, explaining that he had just seen him drug his brother. Owen then scurried away in his van, leaving John to deal with an unconscious Robert. John once again tweaked the narrative so he ended up looking like a hero. Since then, the brothers have made a deal to pretend to Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) that they've called a truce. In this evening's episode, John headed to work at the surgery, serving as a distraction ahead of the funeral of the man he murdered. John called Owen into the consultation room and it didn't take him long to realise who he was. Owen spoke about needing some more sleeping pills, and John wondered if he was planning on using them to drug anyone else. A while later, John was seen throwing Owen out of the surgery. It was witnessed by Robert, who rushed over to see what was going on. John claimed that Owen used threatening language and was therefore not welcome in the building. Of course, Owen claimed it was the other way round, and walked away after telling John that he's 'not right in the head'. Owen will be mentioned again in a few days time. When an opportunity presents itself to put someone altogether different in the frame for the murder of Nate, John decides he can fix things, John style. By killing someone else. Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) makes a house call to Owen, but he can't get an answer. Concerned for his patient's wellbeing, he calls the police, who break into the house and find Owen dead. And on the dead man's laptop is a written confession, saying that Owen was responsible for murdering Nate Robinson. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Cain and Tracy are soon informed of this development, and Liam gives the news to John back at the surgery. John manages to look suitably shocked, but is inwardly pleased that his plan has worked. More Trending But has it? One man who isn't taken in by this turn of events is Robert, who is suspicious about the coincidence that he saw John with Owen earlier. When the police start digging into Owen's background by investigating his medical history, Robert tries to find out more and Claudette (Flo Wilson) lets slip that John visited Owen's house shortly before his death.
