EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

EastEnders\u2019 Amy Mitchell makes a plan to suddenly leave Albert Square next week, following her game-changing confession about Joel Marshall<\/a>. Since Joel was hit over the head with a hammer last month on the night the teens took revenge on him, the police have been investigating who carried out the violent attack.<\/p>\n

In a major twist this week, Amy admitted to DC Craig Ingram that it was her who attacked Joel<\/a> and put in hospital, as she reached breaking point when things escalated that night.<\/p>\n

Amy and Craig have been growing dangerously close<\/a> in recent weeks, and the pair were speaking in confidence \u2013 but new spoilers reveal that next week, Amy panics about having confessed the truth to the man investigating the case.<\/p>\n

She approaches Craig and asks him to keep her confession a secret. Craig irresponsibly makes it clear to Amy that he will do her best to protect her, but reasons that they are both compromised now he knows what she did.<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, Craig heads to the station and is stunned to be suspended from public duty policing by his superior, as a serious complaint has been made against him<\/a>. He is taken off the Joel case as a result, which may make it easier if he is to keep Amy\u2019s secret.<\/p>\n

The walls are closing in on Amy though, who is alarmed when her dad Jack tells her that the police are likely to find Joel\u2019s attacker. She makes a huge decision about her future and plans to run away from Walford as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Before she can make a swift escape from the Square, Craig rumbles her plan and stops her in her tracks \u2013 and it doesn\u2019t look like she\u2019ll be leaving any time soon.<\/p>\n

As the week continues, Amy has another tense argument with Joel, who seemingly doesn\u2019t remember that she is his attacker. Vicki gets involved when she spots the teens rowing and rages at Amy for stirring the pot.<\/p>\n

Overwhelmed by the stress and guilt of covering up her huge secret, Amy meets up with Craig for another chat. Craig tells the vulnerable teen that he will always be there for her, and Amy is grateful to the copper for promising his support. <\/p>\n

But will Craig really keep Amy\u2019s confession to himself, and will his concerning behaviour continue?<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
