Another busy week is ahead in EastEnders<\/a>, as the residents learn the truth about Bea Pollard’s (Ronni Ancona) troubling behaviour.<\/p>\n

Viewers have seen her obtain a credit card<\/a> in Honey Mitchell’s (Emma Barton) name, something which Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) becomes privy to in upcoming scenes. Bea scrambles to pick up the pieces, but manages to make matters a whole lot worse.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Eddie Knight (Christopher Fairbank) makes his presence known<\/a> when he returns to Albert Square, and Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) clashes with granddaughter Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness).<\/p>\n

There’s trouble for Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) as the drugs gang<\/a> pressures him to cough up \u00a330k, forcing his family to intervene, and Grant Mitchell’s (Ross Kemp) advice for Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) seems to be just the ticket.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about the episodes of EastEnders airing between Monday, 11 and Thursday, 14 May.<\/p>\n

5 EastEnders spoilers for next week1. Bea Pollard’s fraudulent behaviour is exposed\"Bea<\/p>\n

Bea hovers anxiously over Ian on his first day as Walford\u2019s councillor, but he\u2019s too preoccupied to notice – he even forgets it’s his mum Kathy Beale’s (Gillian Taylforth) birthday! Linda lays into him over his past behaviour as he attempts to placate Elaine.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Honey\u2019s fears about identity theft deepen. Encouraged by husband Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick), she asks Bea when she plans to move out. <\/p>\n

She reveals she\u2019s hoping to move in with Ian, but her hopes are swiftly dashed when Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) produces her Gazette article, which implies that they’re husband and wife.

Sam later tries to reach her nephew, probing his relationship with Lauren. But things only worsen when Lauren admits she has no space for more cars at the lot, leading to another row… and prompting Mark to finally confide in sister Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) about his \u00a330k debt.<\/p>\n
