EastEnders SPOILERS: Louise goes into labour

There's more drama heading for the Mitchells

| Updated:

Next week’s EastEnders sees Louise Mitchell go into labour, but as always in Albert Square, things don’t go quite as smoothly as the new mum might have hoped.

The drama starts with Phil Mitchell on the warpath, convinced that wife Sharon Mitchell has been having an affair with Jack Branning.

Lisa Fowler’s revelation that Sharon’s baby isn’t his has been playing on Phil’s mind, and no matter how adamant Sharon is that Lisa is lying, Phil is determined to work out the truth.

And Lisa doesn’t help matters when she calls Sharon a murderer at Mel’s funeral and drops the bombshell again that Phil is not the father of Sharon’s baby.

But instead of looking at Keanu, who is right in front of him, Phil puts two and two together and gets five when he becomes obsessed with the fact Sharon has been playing away with Jack.

However, as each day goes by, Keanu is desperate to keep his secret affair with Sharon hidden, and tries to convince Phil that Lisa isn’t well and that Sharon is telling the truth.

But when he and Phil walk into the cafe and see Sharon and Jack looking cosy, it’s all Keanu can do to bundle Phil out before he can make a scene.

However, just when Keanu thinks things can’t get any more complicated, he gets an urgent text from Louise demanding he comes home.
