Here’s a round up of what you can expect to see in Albert Square over the coming months…
Stuart turns evil
It turns out Mick’s old friend Stuart has a seriously sinister side, and this summer will see him cement his role as Walford’s new resident villain.
When a secret from the past comes to light, both Linda and Tina are left terrified of what Stuart might do next. Could the Carters soon regret welcoming him into their home?
Max and Rainie hit the rocks
There’s trouble ahead in Max’s sham marriage to Rainie. The new trailer hints that the pair might well get custody of little baby Abi like they’d hoped, but will they manage to hold on to Max’s granddaughter?
When Abi’s best friend Donna gets involved in the custody battle it looks like the fake couple could be pushed to their boundaries.
And what about that kiss? Does this mean their marriage isn’t as fake as it seems?

Donna leaves the Square
It’s no secret that actress Lisa Hammond is set to depart the Square later this year, but it looks like her interference in Max and Rainie’s battle for little Abi could mean she’s leaving under a dark cloud.
Everyone knows that Max isn’t a man to be messed with, and Rainie isn’t much better. Is Donna playing with fire when she tries to stop the pair bringing home her late best friend’s daughter?
Hayley’s baby bombshell
While the Slater family are still in the dark about the fact Hayley is secretly pregnant with Alfie’s baby, viewers have known for weeks.
But secrets don’t have a habit of staying hidden for long in Walford, especially as Hayley’s baby bump is only going to get more obvious.
But how will Kat react to the fact someone in her family is carrying her husband’s baby? And does this pave the way for Alfie to make a shock return to the Square?

A final farewell to tragic Shakil
The fallout of Shakil’s death is still hitting Walford hard, especially those closest to him.
As his family try to distract themselves by organising his funeral, it has been revealed that the soap will create a special episode featuring real-life knife crime victims.
As Albert Square prepare to say their final goodbyes, will Kush be able to step up and continue to support Carmel when she needs him the most?
