As Anthony exposes Howie's crimes, scrutiny soon turns to his own secrets and lies tomorrow
Kim and Howie's engagement party came to an explosive end
A vengeful Anthony Trueman laid Howie Danes’ secrets bare in EastEnders tonight (Wednesday, December 3), exposing his rival in front of the whole family. With Howie and Kim gathered for their engagement, the event was quickly derailed by the men’s feud.
Fuming at Howie after Howie told Kim about the restraining order, Anthony decided to air all of his dirty laundry.
But what does this mean for Howie and Kim?
Here’s everything that happened in EastEnders tonight – and what happens next.
Kim learned the truth about Anthony
It was all hands on deck for Kim’s engagement party, and she was keen to get her family on task. This included Jack and Denise, who had returned from their mini-break, and were delighted for the happy couple’s news.
Inside, as the guilty parties watched Kim and Zoe bond, Anthony continued to wind Howie up – making snarky comments and sarcastically buying the happy couple a crate of champagne for the party.
Kim had spotted tension between the pair though, and once Anthony and Zoe left, she instructed that they quash their beef. A comment from Howie only succeeded in making her more suspicious though, and she demanded to know what the men were hiding.
Kim was appalled to hear about the restraining order, and her first instinct was, naturally, to tell Patrick. Howie managed to convince her to keep a lid on it though – for Patrick and the party’s sake – although, Kim being Kim, she immediately ran over the surgery to confront him.
He insisted that Sophie was lying about his behaviour, to keep him from the kids. He begged Kim not to tell Patrick, and insisted he’d tell his father himself.
Anthony exposed Howie in EastEnders tonight
After warning Zoe to stay away from Howie, he was delighted to get even more dirt from Oscar. Triumphant, Anthony returned home, where the party was in full swing.
Sidling up to Howie, he revealed that he knew all about his blackmail of Oscar and Lauren, and was about to spill the beans. Still, overhearing Denzel talk about how happy he was for his dad, Anthony began to have second thoughts.
He was prepared to be ready to let bygones be bygones, but it was ultimately a speech from Patrick which pushed him over the edge. Hackles rising at Patrick describing Howie as being ‘like a son,’ Anthony exploded, exposing Howie as a ‘blackmailing, two-faced, thieving little weasel.’
Ouch.
What happens next as Anthony spills the tea on Howie
As the story continues tomorrow, Anthony and Howie both face the scrutiny of their horrified family. As they rage at Howie for his blackmail and lies over the robbery, Patrick soon demands to know how long Anthony has known the truth.
Meanwhile, EastEnders spoilers for next week hint at Kim and Howie’s future. And the news isn’t good!
As next week’s episodes begin, Kim drowns her sorrows. Having called off the engagement (!) she offers to sell her car for Yolande’s raffle.
Yolande accepts, although Kim soon regrets her decision when she sobers up. Meanwhile, as news of Anthony’s past spreads, he admonishes his dad for speaking to Sophie, while Kat warns him to stay away from Zoe.
Traitors cast set for huge upset as next exit and finalists 'revealed'
Last Friday's episode saw Traitors Rachel and Stephen given a dagger. The contestant they pick to hold the dagger will get two votes instead of one at the upcoming roundtable.
But who will they pick, and what will the consequences be for the rest of the players?

Upset for Matthew on The Traitors tonight?
Bookies at Pundit Arena have revealed which Traitors contestants are set to exit the show next. And it's bad news for Matthew. He's favourite to be banished at the roundtable tonight.
Spokesperson Joe Lyons told us: "Matthew heads the market at 4/5 after once again finding himself in the firing line. James and Jack both strongly suspect him, and that kind of vocal doubt tends to snowball quickly around the round table. Unless the spotlight suddenly shifts, he looks extremely vulnerable."
If he is banished, it'll be a huge upset for Matthew, who has long-held dreams to become a Traitor.
Jade is 3/1 to be banished tonight, with James at 8/1.
Next murder
When it comes to who Rachel and Stephen will murder next, die-hard Faithful Jack is in the firing line. Joe told us: "Jack sits at the head of the next murder market at 11/8, and it makes a lot of sense. He’s widely viewed as a genuine Faithful, which makes him dangerous to keep around and an ideal target if the Traitors want a clean, low-risk kill."
Faraaz is also in danger, with odds of 9/4. James follows at 9/2.

Traitors tipped to win the series
In what'll be the biggest upset of the series, it appears the Traitors will scoop the prize pot from under the noses of the Faithfuls.
Joe said: "Rachel and Stephen currently look like they're in complete control, with neither of them receiving a single vote at the most recent roundtable. After surviving some rocky moments earlier in the game, they now appear to have their hands firmly on the steering wheel.
"But on The Traitors, that control can vanish instantly. One wrong move, or putting the ceremonial dagger into the wrong hands, could turn the game on its head and drag either of them straight back into danger."
As it stands, Rachel is at 4/5 on to become outright winner. Stephen sits at 7/4. The closest Faithful contender is James, with odds of 6/1.
