As EastEnders gears up for another thrilling week from October 27 to 30, the drama in Walford reaches boiling point. Secrets explode, loyalties are tested, and shocking revelations threaten to tear families apart. Every storyline feels like a ticking time bomb, and by the end of the week, nothing will be the same for several of the Square’s most iconic residents. Here are the eight massive spoilers that will keep fans glued to their screens.

1. Jasmine’s secret finally comes out
After weeks of torment, Jasmine can no longer hide the truth about her connection to Nigel. In Monday’s gripping episode, she breaks down during a confrontation in The Queen Vic, shocking everyone as she blurts out a confession that leaves the pub silent. Her revelation links her to a long-forgotten crime that took place years ago, and the fallout is immediate. Stacey, who had been defending her, feels utterly betrayed, while Nigel goes on the run before the police arrive. Jasmine’s tears and fear make for one of the most powerful performances of the year, and it’s clear her ordeal is far from over.

2. Nigel disappears — and leaves chaos behind
Following Jasmine’s confession, Nigel becomes the most wanted man in Walford. Tuesday’s episode focuses on the frantic search for him as Phil, Ben, and Callum join forces to track him down. However, Nigel’s disappearance seems calculated — he leaves behind cryptic messages suggesting he knows more than he’s revealed. Denise begins to suspect that someone else has been helping him hide, setting up a major mystery that could stretch well into November. The tension builds when a blood-stained item is found near the canal, leading many to wonder whether Nigel has met a grim end or orchestrated his own vanishing act.

3. Sharon faces a heartbreaking betrayal
While the Square is consumed by Jasmine’s scandal, Sharon finds herself blindsided by someone she trusted most. Her business partner, Dorian, has been secretly making deals behind her back, threatening to steal control of her new bar. In an emotional scene, Sharon confronts him, only to discover that he’s not working alone — someone else in Walford has been feeding him information. Her heartbreak turns to fury, and by midweek, she’s plotting revenge in true Sharon fashion. Expect fierce showdowns, clever manipulation, and a surprising alliance that could restore her power by week’s end.

4. Phil makes a shocking decision about Ben
Phil Mitchell, ever the dominant force of the Square, is forced into one of the toughest choices of his life. After a confrontation spirals out of control, he realizes that Ben’s reckless behavior could cost the family everything. Phil’s decision to cut Ben off financially and emotionally sends shockwaves through the Mitchell household. Kathy and Lexi both try to intervene, but Phil’s mind is made up. The heartbreaking father-son tension comes to a head in a scene that sees Ben storm out, vowing never to return to the Mitchell house again. The rift sets up a potentially devastating family war.

5. Denise uncovers a clue that changes everything
Always the detective of the Square, Denise begins connecting dots no one else can see. Her curiosity about Nigel’s disappearance leads her to an old document hidden in the police archives, one that links him to a former Walford resident — a connection that could rewrite the entire backstory of the current drama. When she realizes the implications, Denise faces a moral dilemma: expose the truth and destroy lives, or stay silent to protect people she loves. Her scenes this week highlight her strength, intelligence, and compassion, and fans are sure to praise her as one of the show’s moral anchors amid the chaos.

6. Kathy’s past resurfaces in a devastating way
Just when Kathy thinks she’s finally found peace, an unexpected visitor from her past arrives at the café, dredging up memories she’s tried to bury for decades. The encounter is emotional, filled with guilt, regret, and unanswered questions. The visitor’s revelation connects to one of Walford’s earliest scandals, bringing long-time viewers a sense of nostalgic shock. The storyline promises to challenge Kathy’s identity and force her to reckon with old mistakes. Her conversation with Denise in Thursday’s episode hints that her secret could tie into the Nigel and Jasmine arc, connecting generations of deceit.

Their chemistry reignites after a quiet night in the café turns into a heartfelt confession.
