Here he is – rather sooner than most of us expected! Mark Fowler Jr, the son of Grant Mitchell and Michelle Fowler is here on Albert Square – and boy, does he have a story to tell! For all the facts, we’ve added his profile to the Current Cast page this weekend!
Now, as the son of a Mitchell and a Fowler – which makes him related to practically everyone on the Square – he, naturally, is running from dodgy blokes, keen to find a grass in their drug operation. Mark needs Phil‘s help to find the informant, but little does he know, the grass is closer than he thinks! Is Ravi now in even more mortal danger?
Also next week, with the aftermath of the trial behind her, Vicki is looking forward to starting afresh. Unfortunately, as she struggles with her feelings for Zack – and if you’ve seen Monday’s episode, you know what’s happened there – how will she react when she walks in to find Ross on his knees, engagement ring in hand, with a proposal? And how will he react to her answer?
And what about Nigel and Julie? Safely tucked away in the Peacock Palace, exhausted Julie is happy this week when Linda offers to keep an eye on an agitated Nigel, who’s confused about his new surroundings. And when Linda notices Julie’s bruising, she’s keen to help the couple anyway she can!
Bubbly Linda soon gets to work, organising a Vow Renewal for the two and is quite happy not to inform Phil of their plans. But Phil has heard from a care home and has 24 hours to respond. Will he ruin Julie’s day with his news, or will the renewal go smoothly?
Also, the Fox-Trueman clan come together this week to aid Patrick in his grief. But Patrick is determined to find out the truth about Anthony‘s murder – unaware the killer, his granddaughter Jasmine, is under his roof and planning to run from the Square! Well, if Kat won’t give him answers, he’ll go to Zoe himself!
And finally, Bea crosses the wrong person next week – as she makes an enemy of the formidable Suki Panesar! This is clearly a life-changing mistake, as she’ll soon learn to her sorrow. But why is Suki so upset… and what has Honey got to do with it?
That’s all the news for now. Keep an eye on Mark Fowler – we have a feeling the story is about to heat up… Very quickly…
Be safe!

Linda asks Phil to step in and support Julie. However, Julie explains why she’s keeping a distance from Phil – he was planning to take Nigel to Portugal without telling her.
Linda looks for other ways to help – organising Julie and Nigel’s vow renewal, although Julie insists that Phil must not be invited.
Phil continues to do things his own way when the care home calls to confirm that there’s now a place for Nigel. He decides not to tell Julie.
Meanwhile, Ross demands answers after Vicki’s bombshell, but how much will she tell him?

The day of Nigel and Julie’s vow renewal arrives. Phil continues to keep quiet about the care home place, even though he and Julie only have 24 hours to make a decision.
Phil is angry to be left out when Nigel assumes that he’s the best man at the wedding. He agrees to take Nigel to the ceremony and then leave, but will Julie change her mind?
Meanwhile, Patrick visits Zoe in prison and she tries to answer his questions about Anthony as honestly as she can without hurting his feelings. Zoe is uneasy when Patrick makes a cryptic comment about Jasmine.
Elsewhere, Barney is suspicious when he overhears Priya blaming Nicola and Harry for what happened to Nugget. When word gets back to Nugget, he demands to know if the Mitchells were behind his attack.

Ravi and Priya soon intervene with a lie to protect Nugget from the truth – which the Mitchells back up. Will Nugget leave it there?
Meanwhile, Denise and Kim try to support Patrick, who explains that he doesn’t know how to grieve for Anthony after hearing Zoe’s revelations over everything he did to her.
Elsewhere, Honey tries her best to reassure Bea.
