Betrayals, discoveries and terror – it’s another big week in EastEnders, as our latest episode guide reveals.

Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) finds her cam work draw a rift between herself and Martin Fowler (James Bye), despite them only just reuniting.

And things get even worse when gifts she receives at her address prompt her to realise her stalker knows a lot about her.

As her fears mount, she and Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) are determined to unmask the culprit, little knowing she is getting closer to the sinister man himself.

Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) takes steps to confront her PTSD, after she has second thoughts about dismissing The Kimfluencer.

Addressing her audience with discussions around mental health, she finds herself buoyed by the response, and takes a big step towards healing.

Elsewhere, Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) unites with Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) after the truth about the honeymoon is revealed, while Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) are forced to face their issues.

Here’s what’s coming up.
