EastEnders isn’t airing tonight (Friday, November 7), in-keeping with its usual weekly schedule – but when is it on, and what happens next week? Viewers will be keen to see what happens next, following a typically dramatic week on Albert Square.

This week’s shocking events saw Kojo break free from the flat to raise the alarm and save Harry from his captivity. As the police arrived on the scene, Harry revealed that Ravi had been behind the drugs operation, resulting in his arrest.

Elsewhere, Eve’s mother Norma arrived in town – dredging up past trauma for Eve. Meanwhile, Zoe feared that her stalker had struck again… although she only succeeded in making herself look more unstable when Alfie discovered her recent lies. Also, Nicola’s pregnant, and Anthony’s hiding something.

Exciting stuff! But when is EastEnders on next?

What’s happening in next week’s spoilers – Okie stabbed as he returns for revenge

Albert Square continues to reckon with the events at Kojo’s flat in EastEnders spoilers for next week. Shocked to see Ravi back on Albert Square, a weakened Harry continues to struggle with his drug withdrawals. He gets another angry visitor when Priya turns up, accusing him of lying about Ravi’s involvement in the drug operation.

While Nicola jumps to her son’s defence, he sneaks off to score again. However, a text from Kojo interrupts him before he can do so – alerting him to Okie’s return.

Harry makes his way back to the flat, where Okie waits with a knife. As Kojo flees, a fight breaks out, and Harry accidentally stabs Okie.

Meanwhile, Ravi is forced to face the music when Priya kicks him out. He tries to justify himself, but gets another unwelcome surprise when George turns up in a rage over everything that’s happened.

Following the events of the week, George clashes with Junior, who’s distracted by the disappearance of son Xavier. As relations between father and son go from bad to worse, Junior reveals that he’s packed his bags and accepted a job in Dubai.

George tries to make amends with Junior, but things worsen when he reveals that he’s planning to send Kojo back to Ghana, for his own safety. As Kojo panics, Junior is forced to turn to Ravi for help.

Is this the end of Kojo’s time in Walford?
