EastEnders spoilers: Linda’s baby bombshell

Alfie tries to distract himself from his health fears by providing support to Linda, who is trying to decide if she should fight for custody of Janine and Mick’s baby.

Alfie agrees to meet the solicitor with Linda as Elaine and George quickly rubbish the idea. Later, Tommy spots Alfie getting a cab to the hospital – will his worst fears be confirmed?

Back in the Square, Alfie gets drunk at Peggy’s and falls out with Phil, before heading to The Vic to apologise to Linda for missing the meeting. Linda notices Alfie is not his usual self, but he brushes it off.

Eve’s date with ‘Amanda’

Stacey sees Eve has a date later with Caz – who is posing as Amanda – when Eve leaves her phone unattended. However, Eve insists she can’t go when Stacey is spooked by another letter from her stalker.

Later, Stacey insists Eve must go and lends Eve a new outfit to wear for the date. The date is awkward and Eve goes to leave before Amanda stops her in her tracks and reveals her true identity. So who is the mystery Caroline – and how will Eve react when she finds out who she really is?

Elsewhere, Freddie tries to play matchmaker between Anna and Bobby by bowing out of their party planning meeting. But when Bobby tries to pretend he’s someone he’s not, Anna makes her excuses and says she’s got to work.
