Harvey cheats?

We love Harvey and Jean together so we weren’t happy to hear that former Doctors star Bharti Patel is joining EastEnders as Maya Houssain – a woman who hits it off with Harvey.

The pair bond over their love of football, though Jean isn’t quite as welcoming to the newcomer and Kat is downright suspicious of her intentions.

George and Elaine – over for good?

With George and Elaine’s romance on the rocks, things look bleak for the Queen Vic’s landlord and landlady. It’s not long before Cindy sees her chance and takes up position behind the bar – just lending a hand, but Elaine’s not happy about it!

Does Cindy really want George back, or is she just out to make trouble? Because as we all know, there’s one word Cindy really doesn’t like to hear – and that’s ‘no’!

Can Peter and Lauren make another go of it? (Credit: BBC)

EastEnders spoilers: Peter and Lauren back together?

Since she returned to Albert Square in the new year, it’s been clear Ms Branning still has feelings for baby daddy Peter Beale. Could the pair move on from their rocky past and get back together?
