All 28 EastEnders Pictures for Next Week — Walford Reels from a Vicious Assault That Changes Everything

Next week in EastEnders, the heart of Walford will be shaken to its core as a brutal assault sends shockwaves through the community — tearing families apart, exposing hidden rivalries, and setting the stage for revenge, guilt, and heartbreak. In a week packed with explosive drama, emotional reckonings, and secrets spilling into the open, the aftermath of the vicious attack will test loyalties and reveal who in Albert Square is truly capable of darkness. These 28 preview moments capture every twist, confrontation, and heartbreak fans can expect as the story unfolds.

The week begins in chaos. The aftermath of the assault leaves blood on the pavement outside The Vic as emergency services swarm the scene. The victim’s identity is revealed early — a beloved resident left fighting for their life in hospital — and the news spreads through Walford like wildfire. Sharon, shaken and pale, clutches Albie close as she watches the flashing blue lights from her window. “This street never changes,” she whispers, the weight of years of tragedy pressing down on her.

Meanwhile, Phil Mitchell stands at the center of the storm once again. His connection to the attack becomes the talk of the Square after he’s seen arguing with the victim just hours earlier. Even Kat begins to question what really happened that night. “Tell me you didn’t do this, Phil,” she pleads, her voice trembling with fear and disbelief. Phil, usually so composed, can’t meet her eyes. “You think I’d go that far?” he growls — but his silence speaks volumes.

Elsewhere, Denise Fox is consumed by guilt. Still reeling from her involvement in Ravi’s criminal dealings, she’s drawn back into the chaos when Jack returns from a long night at work with bruised knuckles and a haunted expression. “Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to,” he warns her. Denise begins to fear that her husband may be more involved in the assault than anyone suspects. As she confides in Chelsea, her voice breaks: “It’s all coming apart, and I don’t know how to stop it.”

In one of the week’s most chilling scenes, Ravi Gulati is seen standing in the shadows of Bridge Street, watching as police cordon off the area. His face is unreadable, his motives unclear. Some fans believe Ravi orchestrated the attack to send a message to his enemies — while others suspect he may be the next target himself. Later, he meets with Nish Panesar, who makes a cryptic remark: “Sometimes you have to lose a soldier to win the war.” The tension between the two men reaches boiling point, hinting at a betrayal brewing within the Panesar family.

The Panesars are far from united. Suki, furious after learning about the assault, confronts Nish in the café, her voice sharp and filled with venom. “You’re turning this family into something unrecognizable,” she hisses. Nish simply smirks, sipping his tea as if nothing is wrong. But when Vinny arrives with shocking news from the police station, the façade cracks — someone close to them has been arrested. The family’s power dynamic begins to shift again, setting up a week of emotional reckoning and dangerous choices.
