There’s all sorts of change afoot over in Walford, and a few nasty shocks for some residents! And thanks to Sky, we can show you the sneeky peek pics...
For Ian, the New Year seems to be getting off to a good start; Jane’s forgiven him for his supposed adultery with Janine, and he’s got rid of Archie’s laptop…
He’s also decided that he wants to adopt a baby with Jane, about which she’s understandably delighted and the pair celebrate in the Vic. However, Janine – being the scheming git she is – is blackmailing Ian; she wants £10,000 or she’ll go to the police and tell them that he killed Archie.
And as proof that she means it, she lets Ian listen to THAT sound recording again on her MP3 player. But he calls her bluff, which is perhaps not the wisest thing to do with someone like Janine. And sure enough, she hotfoots it down to the local nick and tells DCI Marsden all about Ian, the laptop, the soundclip and of course, accuses him of killing Archie.
All of which, Marsden takes very seriously and as the Beales are celebrating their decision to adopt with friends in the pub, she turns up and arrests Ian on suspicion of murder!
Oh my…
In other upcoming news, Pat’s back, but not for long it seems because she announces that she’s moving to New Zealand for good! Oh no!! I hope she doesn’t go!
Also, Stacey's mate Becca - the girl from the hospital - has been released, but as she has nowhere to go, Stacey tells her she can move into the Slaters, and Bradley's not a happy bunny about it...
And finally for today’s spoilers, it seems that Roxy has inherited all of Archie’s business concerns, and she wastes no time getting everyone back in the Vic – but on her terms, which Peggy’s not pleased about – and booting Janine out of the Car Lot!
Panto styly Whhhoppppppeeeeeeee there then.
But that’s not the only seismic news for the Mitchells because Glenda’s about to tell Ronnie and Roxy that they have a brother they’ve never even met!
Can’t wait to meet him! More EastEnders news soon
