Ted Murray’s world is set to be rocked next week when he discovers a chain of letters left for him by dead wife Joyce.
He finds the first one in a bottle buried at the allotment after worried Bernadette and Patrick persuade him to join them there.
Bernie encourages him to follow the instructions that Joyce has left for him so he sorts himself out and tidies the flat.
While doing so he comes across another note from his late wife which leaves him puzzled until he realises she’s left him a whole chain of notes with various instructions.

Bernadette helps him track them down but the latest one leaves him reeling, will he go through with what Joyce has asked of him from beyond the grave?
Joyce died suddenly back in March this year, leaving Ted absolutely devastated. And ‘Enders fans were pretty heartbroken too.
Viewers saw a worried Bernadette Taylor discover Joyce’s body, still in bed, as she paid Ted a visit, concerned for his health after noticing he’d been acting strangely all day.
She instructed Tiffany Butcher to call an ambulance and Ted told her: “When I woke up this morning I reached out to touch her cheek and it was cold, like ice.
“So I pulled over the duvet and came out here to make a cup of tea to warm her up. I was too late wasn’t I?”
Throughout the day Ted had been determined to complete a list he found in Joyce’s diary and worked his way around the Square doing chores for her.
He brought them hot cross buns from the cafe, after the minute mart had sold out.
Then he headed off to pick up his washing from the launderette only for Karen to tell him Joyce had already paid.
He then went to get fish for their Good Friday supper, which was also paid for.
His last errand was to find a palm cross, which Bernie and Tiffany helped him make after paying a visit to Dot’s.

Ted finally realised how much Joyce did for him and how much he took her for granted – but as he said – he was too late.
So are these messages really from Joyce? Or are they a ploy of Bernie and Patrick’s to get their old friend feeling more like his old self?
