Week of June 23–26: What You Can’t Miss on EastEnders

The week ahead in EastEnders promises tension, secrets, and emotional reckonings, as 12 major spoilers shake up Albert Square from Monday through Wednesday.

1. Zoe Slater’s Secret Departure Lingers
   Zoe Slater may have fled the Square, but the shadow she leaves behind looms large. After escaping out of Stacey’s window and disappearing to Barcelona, Zoe’s absence weighs heavily on the Slaters — especially Kat Moon, who remains unaware that her estranged daughter had been hiding in plain sight.

2. Alfie’s Silent Mission to Spain
   With Zoe gone, Alfie Moon takes it upon himself to bring her back — but not before spinning a lie to Kat. Claiming he’s heading to Australia to help his brother Spencer, Alfie instead heads to Spain, vowing to return with “the best present ever.” His determination to reunite mother and daughter sets the stage for emotional fallout.

3. Kat Seeks Comfort… and Runs into Walls
   Kat tries to process Alfie’s sudden departure by opening up to Jean, but the conversation goes south. Jean remains cold and refuses to forgive Kat for going into business with Kathy and Harvey, adding even more tension to their already-strained bond.

4. Jean’s Suspicions About Kat and Phil
   When Kat spends more time at Phil Mitchell’s house, Jean raises eyebrows. But Kat insists there’s nothing romantic between her and her ex — just unfinished business and shared family history. Is she being honest with Jean… or with herself?

5. Patrick’s Big Day Approaches
   Elsewhere in the Square, Yolande Truman is quietly organizing a surprise party for Patrick’s 85th birthday, determined to celebrate her partner in true Walford fashion. The venue? None other than the Queen Vic, where secrets, laughter, and tears often come to a head.

6. Jean Joins the Ruse
   To help keep Patrick distracted, Yolande enlists Jean Slater’s help. Jean agrees to take Patrick out for a drink, giving others time to prepare the big celebration — but what starts as a casual outing quickly becomes something much more meaningful.

7. Patrick Offers Jean Wise Counsel
   As they sip drinks and talk about life, Patrick turns the spotlight on Jean’s conflict with Kat. With a gentle but firm tone, he urges her to let go of her anger and prioritize family over grudges. His wisdom cuts deep — but will Jean take his advice to heart?

8. Jean’s Emotional Conflict
   Jean is left to ponder Patrick’s words, torn between her wounded pride and her unshakable love for her family. Could this birthday party end with a long-overdue reconciliation?

What Lies Ahead…

As the week wraps up, EastEnders promises that these stories are only just beginning. Zoe’s secrets are far from buried. Kat’s emotional walls may soon come crashing down. And Alfie’s promise to bring Zoe back could lead to one of the most powerful reunions the Square has ever seen.

Don’t miss a moment — because in Walford, even the quietest drink at the pub could spark the storm of a lifetime.
