6 EastEnders spoilers next week

1. Avani Nandra-Hart's pregnancy shock amid dad Ravi Gulati's arrest

It's clear something is bothering Avani, and as Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) and Ravi are too busy, she turns to Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman).

The pair go to Harry's Barn, where Avani does a test which reveals she is pregnant.

Avani tries to tell her mum, but decides against it.

Suki later finds Avani looking at a family planning website, and Avani tells her what is going on, adding that she's getting an abortion.

Suki goes to meet the Granthi to discuss Avani's pregnancy, while Avani tells Barney of her decision.

All the while, Ravi is in hot water when Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) engineers his arrest alongside associate Okie.

Ravi is tight-lipped in questioning, while the police raid the Panesar home for evidence of his criminal activity.

Priya gets Harry Mitchell's (Elijah Holloway) help moving drugs from one of Ravi's properties, and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) offers to help too.

Will Ravi face jail time?

2. Suki Panesar-Unwin clashes with Vinny Panesar and Eve Panesar-Unwin

But after advice from Eve, Suki offers her son an olive branch.

The moment turns sour when Suki learns Vinny is planning to secretly attend Ash's engagement party.

The pair row, and Vinny lets rip about Suki's parenting.

Meanwhile, the Slaters discuss a potential move to the pub for Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), only for Ian and Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) to cast doubt on the plans.

Jean gets a call from Alfie (Shane Richie), but is too distracted and doesn't pass on his message to Stacey (Lacey Turner) until later.

The family face off against the Beales, as Linda (Kellie Bright), Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) and Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe) prepare for the auction.

Kat is in high spirits until Stacey, following a call, tells Kat she can't lend her the money for the sale.

After a chat with Stacey, Jean jumps to the conclusion that Alfie is off helping Hayley Slater (Katie Jarvis).

Who will get the deeds to The Vic?

Oscar wakes after a one night stand and Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) gives him a talking to.

So Oscar offers to babysit for his nephews while Lauren and Peter Beale (Thomas Law) go for a meal, only for his old acquaintance Mike to show up and threaten Oscar.
