Romance, regret, and rising tensions take center stage in EastEnders this week as big decisions, broken promises, and unexpected twists shake up life in Walford.
Alfie Moon takes a business idea one step further when he suggests to Kat that they stage a fake wedding photoshoot to promote their new limo service. But behind the marketing ploy lies a heartfelt intention: Alfie is planning to pop the real question. Encouraged by Linda, Alfie seizes the moment and proposes to Kat in their flat. She joyfully accepts, and the couple head to The Vic, full of celebration and hope for a new beginning.
While love blooms for Kat and Alfie, another relationship meets its end. After Kathy urges Peter to mend fences with Lauren for the sake of their son, the two try to reconnect. But Peter remains uneasy, sensing that Lauren is still hiding something. His suspicion drives him to consult Johnny about custody arrangements, a conversation that’s overheard by Honey. When she alerts Lauren, the stress becomes unbearable, and Lauren decides she’s had enough—officially ending things with Peter once and for all.
Elsewhere, Cindy’s business takes a hit when her employees walk out upon learning she hasn’t paid them. Struggling to keep The Albert afloat, she’s caught off guard when Gina—initially furious at George for helping Cindy—softens and offers to pitch in as well. The shift highlights how even bitter rivalries can yield unexpected moments of support when it matters most.
In another corner of the Square, Avani proves she’s more than capable of standing up for herself. When Joel tries to publicly embarrass her, his plan backfires, and Avani walks away with her head held high, having put him in his place with grace and wit.
Between heartfelt proposals and painful breakups, EastEnders delivers a powerful week of drama where love and loyalty are tested, and not every ending is a happy one. Will Kat and Alfie’s fresh start go smoothly, or is trouble waiting in the wings? And as Cindy scrambles to save her crumbling business, can she count on George and Gina—or is she about to go it alone?
