5 things you must know ahead of Vicki and Zack's dark blackmail twist next week
There's trouble looming for Zack and Vicki
Today’s EastEnders saw Vicki and Ross have a huge argument when they tried to talk about Joel once again. The pair were at loggerheads over where the teen will live once he’s released in a few months, and it seems no amount of talking is helping.
The drama came after Ross discovered in yesterday’s episode that his son has been sentenced to six months in a young offenders’ institute. Meaning Joel could be home on Albert Square before Christmas.
Understandably, Vicki is nervous about the lad who attacked her moving back under her roof. But it’s a tricky situation, seeing as she is due to marry Ross very soon.
Vicki and Ross had a huge argument
Today’s EastEnders saw the pair try to talk things through again.
Vicki accused her fiancé of never talking about his son. But Ross admitted that he didn’t think Vicki wanted to hear about his visits to see Joel in jail.
Reassuring Ross that if it is important to him, then it is also important to her, Vicki tried to get Ross to open up. However, when he inadvertently compared Joel’s attack to Vicki sleeping with another man, she saw red and stormed out.
EastEnders: The drama continues for Vicki next week
Next week’s spoilers have revealed that the couple are still divided over Joel on Monday as they head to their hen and stag parties.
Vicki isn’t in the partying mood, but once there, she changes her mind, and the party gets underway. But how does she go from wanting to marry Ross to passionately kissing Zack?
Here are 5 things you need to know ahead of next week…
1. Zack is the hen party stripper
The trouble starts when Kim books Zack as the stripper for the night, not realising Vicki and Zack have a history. While the other women at the party are having a great time, Vicki doesn’t know where to look – and her awkwardness doesn’t go unnoticed by a certain someone.
2. Kathy senses trouble
Seeing there is still a spark between Zack and Vicki, Kathy realises she needs to act fast. In a desperate attempt to stop Vicki from making a huge mistake, Kathy sets off the fire alarm. However, her plan backfires completely.
3. Zack and Vicki kiss in EastEnders next week
Once outside, Vicki and Zack sneak off to a hidden corner and share a passionate kiss. The pair only break things off because Vicki hears Ross… and Zack is left feeling deflated once again.
4. Someone films the kiss
But little do Zack and Vicki know, someone has seen them kissing. Not only that, but they have secretly caught the whole thing on camera. But who is filming them? Is it someone from the party? Is it Ross? Or could it be someone else entirely?
5. Zack and Vicki get blackmailed next week in EastEnders
Vicki and Zack only find out that they have been caught kissing when Vicki gets an anonymous text next week with a picture of them kissing. Clearly, it is someone she knows if they have her phone number. But who is about to blackmail the pair for an eyewatering amount of cash?
Here's 'the exact moment' Love Is Blind's Chris Fusco turned Bri McNees right off him
Chris, who is now the unofficial villain of the current Netflix series, made a play for Bri at the couples' drinks and bowling mixer.
Despite being engaged to Connor Spies, Bri appeared tempted to go along with Chris' advantages.
But in one swift moment, she instantly "changed her tune".

Eagle-eyed fans spotted exactly what made Bri do a complete 180 on Chris before stalking away.
Love Is Blind: The moment Chris Fusco turns Bri McNees off
Chris swaggered into the reunion as a single man following his split with Jessica Barrett. Jessica had ended her engagement with him after he'd complained about how she 'doesn't go to Pilates and CrossFit every day'.
Pulling Bri to one side, in full view of Connor, he then began turning on the charm to try and woo her. Bri smiled broadly as he told her about the first time he saw her.
"I was like, that is the girl I would literally propose to," Chris said.
Chris then fibbed to Bri that Connor had initially wanted to pick Jessica to propose to in an extra effort to win her round.
"I would take you to the Four Seasons. I like staying there. That’s maybe luxurious to normal people," he said.
But then he ruined it all.
Chris reached for Bri's hand and said: "We’d have a good time. Guarantee.
"I felt like we would have been [bleep]-buddies. I saw your Instagram and was like, yes."
Bri's face instantly changed and she began nervously rubbing her shoulder.
Chris went on to ask Bri why she hadn't replied to his DM on LinkedIn.
"I'm in a relationship," she told him. Her body language completely changed as she told Chris that Connor was the only man for her.

'The look on her face'
Love Is Blind fans have now reacted to the conversation. Giving their verdict, they are convinced Bri had a wake-up call when he used the phrase "[bleep]-buddies".
Writing on Reddit, one said: "Seeing the first few minutes of Episode 10, Bri was totally into Chris. She even said yes they would have a good time at Four seasons till he said we would be f-buddies. I feel like thats the point she changed her tune."
Another added: "I just found it hilarious that at the beginning of that convo he was saying when he saw her in Mexico he thought. 'I would marry that girl' then 45 seconds later he's like, "I think we would be [bleep]-buddies'.|
A third wrote: "He had her at Four Seasons and lost her at F buddies."
And a fourth added: "I clocked that too. The look on her face when he said f buddies."
And someone else chimed in: "YESSSS I was going to make this post as soon as I watched that scene!!! I even said it out loud to my cats - I was like 'she was TOTALLY feeling him until he said 'we'd be [bleep]-buddies'."
The final nail in his coffin came when Chris then name-dropped self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate.
Boy, bye.
