EastEnders solves the mystery that we’ve all wracked our brains over next week, as confirmed in my brand new spoiler pictures, while another resident is rushed to hospital.
The mystery I’m referring to is, of course, that of Maya (Bharti Patel) and her real motive for coming to the Square – particularly what she’s up to where Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) is concerned.
Next week, Harvey makes an excuse to get out of a romantic meal with Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) after he receives a message from a distressed Maya, who claims that she’s selling her home to pay her debts.
Harvey is shocked and is quick to offer support but the twisted tale takes quite a turn when mysterious Maya drops a letter with an address on it – and her house is not in the area of London that she claimed it was.
Without wasting a second, curious Harvey heads to the address in question, where hears a crash – and comes face-to-face with a distressed man.
The questions are: just who is Maya? And what is she hiding?
Elsewhere on the Square, Nugget’s (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) behaviour is a cause for concern, with Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) urging him to get a handle on his temper before people get suss about the steroids.
But Denzel is a no-show to the tournament at the Boxing Den and thus Nugget heads off in search of him – but he falls ill and collapses at the playground before being rushed to hospital.
The doctors confirm to horrified parents Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) that Nugget has been taking steroids, but will he pull through?
And finally Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) might be about to find herself embroiled in the middle of a new love triangle after new Mitchell man Teddy (Roland Manookian) flirts with her.
Watch out Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), you’ve got competition!
EastEnders airs these scenes between Monday, July 1 and Thursday July 4 at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
