Monday, October 20: Nigel’s Farewell Drive Ends in Disaster

Before selling his beloved car to fund his long-dreamed trip to India, Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) decides to take it out for one last spin. But what begins as a sentimental drive ends in catastrophe when he crashes — and the consequences could change everything.

Elsewhere, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) remains trapped by Okie Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu), who orders him to deal with the “Kojo problem.” Though Harry pretends to agree, he secretly warns Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) to flee.

Meanwhile, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) continues to stir trouble under the guise of friendship, fishing for gossip from Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) while leaving Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) humiliated as he tries to impress her after losing his ankle tag.

At the Vic, Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) and Callum (Tony Clay) encourage Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) to take a big career step, while the Slaters’ infighting escalates, pushing Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) to their limits.

Back in captivity, Harry refuses Okie’s orders to lure Kojo back — and Okie’s chilling threats make clear that defiance could cost him dearly.

At the Queen Vic, Johnny’s meeting with Tim Walton (guest star TBA) leaves Elaine impressed but unsettles Callum, who’s suspicious of Tim’s motives.

Wednesday, October 22: Nigel Confesses as Kat’s Trust in Zoe Crumbles

Haunted by guilt, Nigel decides to come clean. While his wife Julie (Karen Henthorn) tries to cover for him by claiming she was driving, Nigel can’t live with the lie. He goes to Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and hands himself in.

Meanwhile, Kat follows Zoe to a secret meeting with a private investigator and confronts her over the stolen money. Though she tries to stay calm, she’s rattled when Zoe lies about her intentions. Later, Zoe overhears Kat questioning whether she should even stay with the family — shattering what little trust remained between them.

Elsewhere, Teddy plans to head to Cardiff in search of Harry, unaware that Harry’s situation is rapidly deteriorating. And back in Walford, Callum grows increasingly suspicious about Johnny’s business partner, Tim.
