EastEnders' spoilers: Residents unite to free Kheerat as he prepares to plead guilty

The residents of EastEnders are still wrestling with the aftermath of the dramatic comeuppance of serial killer Gray Atkins.

Last week, the truth about Gray was finally revealed which resulted in him leaving Walford in a police car.

Gray’s evil murders have destroyed families across Walford, including the Taylors, who treated him as one of their own.

In the wake of Gray’s arrest, blame flies between Karen (Lorraine Stanley), Mitch (Roger Griffiths) and Keegan (Zack Morris).

Meanwhile, mourning the loss of Tina, the Carter family feel lost over what to do but as thoughts turn to the funeral, Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) is on hand to support Mick (Danny Dyer).

But with Gray out of the way, Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) is facing an uncertain future on the soap after the police finally caught up with him in the wake of his attack on Gray, which landed the abuser in hospital.

Kheerat fled Walford after the bottle bashing disaster, only to later return to help his family and their business during a crisis.

But when Kheerat feared Chelsea was once again in danger from Gray’s calculating plans, he made a beeline for the hospital to warn her - only to be stopped by police en route and arrested.

With Kheerat in custody facing charges for the attack, the BBC soap will reveal his fate in upcoming scenes.

As his family rally around to help him, Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Dotty (Milly Zero) are shocked to find out from his lawyer that Kheerat plans to plead guilty.

Suki begs the lawyer to find another way to help her son out of the nightmare, while Dotty also wants to help and goes to Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) to ask her for money.

Although initially reluctant, she convinces Sonia to part with the cash, which she takes to Eve (Heather Peace), asking for legal advice on Kheerat's case.

Eve is surprised to be asked but agrees to help, but Kheerat's situation threatens to get even worse when Eve makes a disturbing discovery about his lawyer.
