A shock blackmail plot is at the forefront of the action as one legendary character is set to be pushed to the brink.
It all starts when an illicit encounter is witnessed by another Walford resident and the popular character finds themselves at the mercy of their blackmailer.
As the peeping Tom makes more and more demands of their victim though, it seems the show fave could be sent over the edge as the pressure mounts.
