EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders‘ Lily Slater is set to receive bad news ahead of some emotional Joel Marshall scenes. The ongoing mystery storyline has focused on who attacked Joel in the Square after he was tied up by the teens, with someone unlocking him before he was later hit with a head over the hammer.
Lily Slater eventually confessed to unlocking him, and in scenes last night, Amy admitted to DC Craig Ingram that she was the one who hit him.

In new scenes airing next week, Lily gets some upsetting exam results, leaving her distressed, though she has a heart-to-heart with Craig as they agree to be friends.
“It’s GCSE results day next week for the teens of Walford, but Lily isn’t happy when she finds out how she did in her exams,” our EastEnders insider said. “She’s been through way more than your average 16-year-old but is now left wondering what the future holds.
“The day isn’t all bad though, as she and Joel finally agree to move forward after events of the last few weeks. Lily has been more sympathetic to Joel than any of her friends, so could she be a helpful new ally to the controversial character?”
Scenes next week will see tension rise between Amy and Joel as they have an argument in the Square, and amid her stress meets up with Craig again amid their concerning storyline. Does he have her best interests at heart, and will her loved ones notice his suspicious behaviour?

Craig is also set to have a serious complaint made against him next week, meaning he is suspended and taken off the Joel case.
Meanwhile, Ross is irritated to find out that Amy has lashed out at Joel, and later stands up for his son in front of Amy, before inviting Joel to his and Vicki’s movie night.
