Huge EastEnders twist as George's whereabouts on Christmas finally revealed
The floor falls from beneath Elaine Knight's (Harriet Thorpe) feet in EastEnders next week, as she learns where her husband George (Colin Salmon) ran off to on Christmas Day. As viewers of the BBC soap will remember, every member of the Beale and Knight clans provided an alibi for their whereabouts on the festive evening. That was because wicked Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) had been viciously attacked with a snow shovel, and until February, nobody knew who was responsible. It later transpired that Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) was the culprit, but that left a lot of questions as to where everyone else was on the fateful night – and whether they were telling the truth. George told his family that he was partaking in an illegal underground boxing match, but also later asked brother Kojo (Dayo Koleosho) to back up his alibi. He then admitted to daughter Gina (Francesca Henry) that he wasn't at the fight. In scenes that air this week, Elaine is left furious when he helps out with Cindy's relaunch of The Prince Albert, and her rival karaoke party flops, and by this time next week, things aren't any better between the couple. Tension is simmering behind the bar at The Vic as she silently fumes over George lending a hand his ex-wife a hand with her re-opening. Elaine decides to show her husband how committed she is to him, and presents a touching gift honouring his boxing past. However, as they relish in happiness, his son Junior (Micah Balfour) storms in and drops a bombshell. At Christmas, George secretly visited his ex Sabrina – Junior's mum. An argument escalates when he admits that Sabrina kissed him, although he pushed her away. Elaine declares that she's had enough and throws him out of the family home. An emotional George heads out to find Junior to vent his frustration, but instead crosses paths with Cindy, who – perhaps conveniently – is there to offer a shoulder to cry on.

Later, Elaine tries to make peace and goes looking for George… only to spot him on the balcony of The Albert in a very warm embrace with Cindy. Heartbroken, she retreats to the café to gather herself. But things go from bad to worse when she returns and Felix lets slip that George and Cindy left together. More Trending Believing that he has betrayed her, Elaine decides not to wallow in self pity and calls up someone for for a drink. While she waits, a cheeky punter named Stephen tries his luck, but is quickly brushed to one side by Elaine's old pal Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton), the drag queen who had a secret relationship with her late husband. Drew gives Elaine a much-needed pep talk, reminding her to remain strong and not let Cindy get her down. Boosted by Drew's words, Elaine makes a shocking decision. View More » What does she do?

EastEnders exit as popular character makes unexpected departure
Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) has made an unexpected temporary EastEnders exit. The character truly has seen it all in the 40 years since he first appeared on our screens as a fresh-faced teenager, so it's no wonder that he's decided to take a break. In the last six months he's discovered his ex-wife Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) was cheating on him, and that his mother Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) attacked her with a snow shovel. With the revelation out in the open, Cindy then shot him, before pushing him in front of a car that ignited an explosion at The Queen Vic. In the aftermath she threatened to reveal her assault to the police – unless the Beales handed over their businesses. Kathy eventually caved and signed over The Prince Albert bar, unaware of the next big bombshell that was awaiting. Cindy had witnessed Kath's affair with Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman), and after grabbing the keys to the boozer, exposed the dalliance to all of their neighbours. Ian couldn't believe what his mother had been up to, and now has Harvey living under his roof. If the family drama wasn't bad enough, son Peter (Thomas Law) has struggled to bond with his newborn Jimmy after the youngster was diagnosed with a visual impairment. In tonight's episode, he felt uncomfortable hearing Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) talk so positively about his son's condition. His fiancée Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) noticed how he was reluctant to hold the baby, and staged an intervention with Cindy and Kathy. It was during the difficult conversation that Ian's absence was addressed. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

More Trending Michelle has been based in Australia for a number of years, and Sharon went to stay with her in the wake of Martin Fowler's (James Bye) death. She initially went to visit her granddaughter Alyssa, but has since made her quick exit into some sort of world tour, with Ian along for the ride! Back in Walford, things were escalating between Peter and Lauren, with her leaving him alone with the baby while she tried to score a drink at The Vic. Thankfully, nobody would serve her, so she found comfort elsewhere. Zack Hudson (James Farrar) was on hand to offer some advice, and the two ended up kissing.

EastEnders scandal in early iPlayer release as unexpected characters kiss
This article contains spoilers for tonight's episode of EastEnders, which airs on BBC One at 7.30pm or can be streamed now on iPlayer. Two Albert Square locals have shared a shock kiss – and it's not the first time they've got together. The instalment kicked off with problems at the Beale-Branning residence, with Peter (Thomas Law) continuing to struggle to bond with his young son Jimmy following his visual impairment diagnosis. Hearing Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) speak so positively about the youngster's disability was uncomfortable for him to hear, and he rushed out onto a run to clear his head. Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) noticed his discomfort, especially when their neighbours rallied around to support them both. She wasn't the only one who had clocked how much Peter was struggling – his mum Cindy (Michelle Collins) and grandmother Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) put their issues to one side to stage an intervention. During their conversation, Lauren became emotional, explaining that Peter clearly doesn't want to look at either her or Jimmy, and that he isn't supporting her. After lashing out, stating that he's the breadwinner, Peter confessed that he blamed Lauren for Jimmy's impairment as a result of her drug addiction during pregnancy. Kathy felt that he took a step too far, and told him to leave. However, before he had chance, Lauren slung the baby monitor at him and entered self destruct mode. She stormed into The Vic and demanded a vodka from Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), who refused to let her relapse. Before Lauren had opportunity to grab a drink at Harry's Barn, Linda pre-warned Gina Knight (Francesca Henry).

EastEnders split confirmed for major couple as a family is torn apart
It's been a difficult time for EastEnders' Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Peter Beale (Thomas Law) lately, but things are set to turn nasty between them next week when their relationship hits the rocks. The couple were devastated last month when doctors informed them that their baby son Jimmy had been born severely sight-impaired. Lauren initially blamed herself for Jimmy's diagnosis, believing it was caused by her painkiller addiction while she was pregnant, but gained a fresh perspective after some meaningful conversations with Stacey and Lily Slater (Lacey Turner and Lillia Turner). However, Peter's struggle to come to terms with the news is set to rip their family apart in forthcoming scenes. On Monday, an increasingly distant Peter dismisses Lauren's pleas to join her and local well-wishers in the Square, prompting his warring mum and gran Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) to put aside their feud to try and help the couple. But Lauren is left devastated when Peter later turns around and blames her for Jimmy's health. Peter's harsh words push recovering alcoholic Lauren to the brink of a relapse, and she heads to both The Vic and Harry's Barn for a drink but is refused service. After Peter finally bonds with his newborn son following Cindy's encouragement, he heads to the hospital without Lauren for an appointment about Jimmy, where he is warmed by an encounter with a fellow patient. However, Peter's positivity is quickly ruined when he returns home and discovers Lauren has almost relapsed. After a huge row, Peter breaks up with Lauren and hits her with the bombshell that he's going to fight for custody of their sons. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
