The insane web creepy Bea Pollard (Ronni Ancona)<\/a> has spun in EastEnders<\/a> finally begins to unravel next week.<\/p>\n After being dumped by Ian Beale<\/a>\u00a0(Adam Woodyatt<\/a>), he later discovers her possession of the credit card in Honey Mitchell<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0(Emma Barton<\/a>) name, leading Billy Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0(Perry Fenwick<\/a>)\u00a0to demand she leave them alone for good, but will rejection make Bea more dangerous than ever?<\/p>\n Mark Fowler Jr<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0(Stephen Aaron-Sipple<\/a>) gangster past comes back to haunt him next week, as time is running out for him to repay his debt. When Sam Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0(Kim Medcalf<\/a>) lets slip to Grant<\/a>\u00a0(Ross Kemp<\/a>) what\u2019s going on, he jumps into the fray, feet first, despite Mark and Phil<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0(Steve McFadden<\/a>) warnings. Can Grant save his son, or will he make things ten times worse?<\/p>\n Nicola Mitchell<\/a>\u2019s (Laura Doddington<\/a>) insidious arrangement with Eddie Knight\u00a0(Christopher Fairbank)<\/a> continues to cause issues for George Knight<\/a>\u00a0(Colin Salmon<\/a>) and as more people insist George abandon his adoptive dad, she\u2019s faced with further trouble trying to maintain control. Can she manipulate the situation in her favour?<\/p>\n Okay, I know. I\u2019ve teased enough. Let\u2019s dive into the full spoilers for next weeks trip to Albert Square.<\/p>\n Monday, May 11<\/p>\n \t\t With the worry that she\u2019s been the victim of identity theft hanging over her, Honey\u2019s pressed by Billy to find out when Bea will be leaving and learns of her plans to move in with Ian, though he breaks up with her when he sees she\u2019s referred to them as husband and wife in a gazette article. Things continue to get worse for Bea when Ian learns that she paid for his votes with her fraudulent credit card in Honey\u2019s name and confronts her in front of Honey herself. <\/p>\n Nicola struggles to be present at Ivy\u2019s Ghanaian naming ceremony after her meeting with Eddie\u2019s prison officer at No.1. After Harry Mitchell<\/a>\u00a0(Elijah Holloway<\/a>) comes across her scheme, Nicola pushes George to allow Eddie to move in, and he acquiesces by allowing him to stay in the basement flat.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Jasmine Fisher<\/a>\u00a0(Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness<\/a>) is deflated when Patrick Trueman<\/a>\u00a0(Rudolph Walker<\/a>) returns and tells her he doesn\u2019t trust her and time will be needed to fix their relationship, Grant continues to help Linda Carter<\/a>\u00a0(Kellie Bright<\/a>) reconnect with son Johnny<\/a>\u00a0(Charlie Suff<\/a>) and Ian forgets Kathy Beale<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0(Gillian Taylforth<\/a>) birthday.<\/p>\n Tuesday, May 12<\/p>\n \t\t Eddie\u2019s presence at Ivy\u2019s naming ceremony causes trouble with George and Nicola\u2019s respective families, and he later makes it clear to Nicola that if he\u2019s not permitted to move into the main house with the family, she won\u2019t see a penny of his money.<\/p>\n Cornered, Bea admits her guilt to Honey, who turns to Kathy, Ian, Linda and Elaine Peacock<\/a>\u00a0(Harriet Thorpe<\/a>) for advice. Later, as Honey is about to forgive and forget, Billy returns, having learned of what\u2019s happened and boots Bea out. As she leaves, she strikes back by tampering with his ladder. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!

With further encouragement from Lauren Branning<\/a>\u00a0(Jacqueline Jossa<\/a>), he does, though Grant\u2019s flirtation with Linda leads them coming to blows. When Lauren tells Mark she doesn\u2019t have room for any more cars, he finally turns to Vicki Fowler<\/a>\u00a0(Alice Haig<\/a>) over the debt.<\/p>\n Wednesday, May 13<\/p>\n \t\t With Vicki\u2019s encouragement, Mark secures a \u00a330,000 loan from Phil to buy himself some time, though Grant insists on helping when he learns what\u2019s happening from Sam. Though Phil and Mark insist Grant stay out of it, he approaches Mark\u2019s former boss, and soon things go from bad to worse.<\/p>\n Harry pleads with Nicola to go back on her deal with Eddie for Gina Knight<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0(Francesca Henry<\/a>) sake, but she stands firm: if she doesn\u2019t secure a cash injection, their businesses will collapse and she faces further problems when George refuses to allow Eddie into the main house.<\/p>\n Also, Bea is wracked with panic when her recent behaviour causes serious problems.<\/p>\n Thursday, May 14<\/p>\n \t\t Bea desperately tries to mend things with Ian, but too much damage has been done and he sends her away, leading her to head to McClunky\u2019s to sleep there, completely out of options. <\/p>\n Mark\u2019s boss confronts Vicki, and when he learns of Grant\u2019s involvement, he tells his dad to stay out of his life forever. Mark\u2019s later accosted by Lauren over the legitimacy of the cars he\u2019s supplying, and Sam gives him an idea.<\/p>\n Concurrently, Nicola soundly rejects Eddie\u2019s attempts to bond, while Cindy Beale<\/a>\u00a0(Michelle Collins<\/a>) warns George off from allowing Eddie back into his life.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Honey](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/559288-7f04.jpg\")
