EastEnders spoilers reveal cryptic scenes for some on the BBC soap next week, and worrying times ahead for others.
There's devastating news for Lola Pearce amid her brain tumour battle, as she suffers another health scare and is rushed to hospital.
The character will sadly die in scenes later this year, and next week viewers will see her health continue to deteriorate.
Elsewhere, the return of Elaine Peacock continues to cause shockwaves around Walford after the news she will be the new owner of The Queen Vic.
Linda Carter's mother finds herself at war with another Walford family, but she's soon making a cryptic phone call to a mystery character.
Here's the biggest moments to look out for in Walford next week, as several characters take centre stage...
Elaine's mystery call
Elaine makes a phone call to a mystery man next week, and reveals her hopes that he will move into The Vic.
It comes after a break-in at the pub in the fallout to her dramatic arrival, with her revealed to be the pub's new owner.
Elaine believes the Panesars are to blame for the break-in of the pub and sets her sights on taking them down after a conversation with Eve about Nish's untrustworthy character.
Eve later tries to convince Elaine to stop plotting against the Panesars by saying that Linda doesn't need the extra stress. Elaine and her daughter finally have a candid conversation about losing Mick and they both agree to support each other.
Soon enough Elaine is talking to a mystery person, but who is it? Perhaps it will spark the arrival of the new soap family, the Knights.
It was confirmed earlier this year that Elaine's new partner George and his two daughters would soon join her in Albert Square.
Lola's health deteriorates
Lola Pearce will deteriorate next week on EastEnders as she's given heartbreaking news by doctors.
In the Square next week, Kim organises a karaoke party for Lola at the salon but as her anxiety continues to get the best of her, she forgets to hire a karaoke machine. Elaine saves the day with a top of the range machine after bonding with Ben.
It all becomes too much for Lola and she heads outside to get some quiet time. Panic ensues from all of the residents - including Denise, Honey and Kathy - as they realise Lola is missing and make an urgent search for her.
They are horrified when they find a very confused Lola outside the gym and quickly take her home rest. When at home, Lola is struggling when she notices that there is some sort of impairment with her speech and mobility.
Billy and Jay suggest she heads to hospital and after being assessed by doctors, a weak Lola is devastated to find out that her palliative chemotherapy treatment isn't working - and Jay's keen to make every moment count from now on.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
