All the latest updates and news down Walford way!

We hadn’t even reported on Jake Moon‘s imminent return yet, but even we didn’t realise his comeback would be so soon!
Last seen escorting lover Chrissie Watts out of Walford in September 2024, long-time viewers will remember that the audience was stunned to see him – after all, when he originally left the Square in 2006, he himself was being escorted – by two of Johnny Allen‘s vicious hitmen!
Alfie believes his cousin to be brown bread, just like the rest of us did, considering Jake’s penchant for hanging with the wrong crowd. But next week, Jake rocks up to visit jailbird Zoe Slater – wanting to know the exact details of what happened Christmas Day.
When Kat and Vicki (unexpected and delightful together!) track the missing Moon, they convince him to come home to Walford to visit Alf – who’s about to have the shock of his life!
Also next week, Linda starts smiling at Max Branning.
Alarm bells should be ringing by now. But when it turns out that Ollie‘s bully is none other than grandson Louie, Max takes the lad to task for his childhood recklessness. This impresses Linda, who, having already been there and bought the t-shirt, thinks she may have misjudged the local lothario.
Nah!
And Bea is still determined to right the perceived wrongs of Suki Panesar. But is she getting rather obsessed? And is it Linda or Honey she’s after? Either way, Elaine hasn’t taken to the newcomer one bit! Can Bea pull the wool over Elaine’s beady peepers…?
We don’t fancy her chances!
And also this week, poor Lexi receives some news about her family that leaves her in need of some TLC…
See ya all soon! Keep warm if you’re in the snow!
Now then… What are the chances, this being EastEnders, that Vicki Fowler will be expecting something unexpected in nine months time?
Be safe!

Later, Nugget is in a stationary car with his parents when he suffers a seizure.
Meanwhile, Jake Moon visits Zoe in prison. He explains that he split from Chrissie due to her revenge plan, but wants to know what happened at Christmas. Zoe shares her version of events and asks Jake for his help to prove her innocence. Jake refuses, so Kat and Vicki team up and hope to find him.

At the hospital, Nugget is told that he’s had an epileptic seizure. Ravi is upset to realise that he may have caused his son to develop a life-long condition.
Later, Ravi drowns his sorrows at the club and ends up teaming up with Mark against a rowdy group of men, who’ve been hitting on Chelsea. Ravi impresses Mark by saving his skin in the argument, so Mark decides to confide in him over his efforts to find the secret informant.
Meanwhile, Max realises that Louie is the bully who’s been hassling Ollie at school. He confronts Louie himself, but decides to conceal the truth from Linda. Later, Elaine spots the cosy mood between Max and Linda, so decides to warn Max off.
Elsewhere, Kat and Vicki convince Jake to visit Alfie, which leads to an emotional reunion.

Linda leans on Max for support over Ollie’s bullying ordeal, but he continues to keep quiet over Louie being the culprit. Max is alarmed when Ollie is hit at school, so he tips off Lauren and Peter over Louie’s bad behaviour.
Bea overhears Max as he urges Lauren not to tell Linda about Louie’s guilt. Later, oblivious Linda grows closer to Max and leans in for a kiss.
Meanwhile, Jake tries to get closure over the past as he comes face-to-face with Phil. Phil urges Jake to do the right thing for Kat and Alfie, so he sends Chrissie a message in the hope of luring her back to Walford.
Elsewhere, Priya opposes Ravi’s decision to work for the police, but they get distracted by a call from the hospital.
Also today, Bea assumes that she’s being kicked out of the B&B, but Honey offers her the chance to house-sit.
