EastEnders Spoilers Next Week: Zoe Slater Targeted, Eve Faces Her Mother, and Phil Mitchell Explodes Over Nigel’s Arrest
There’s another tense and emotional week ahead in EastEnders as Walford reels from Halloween fallout. Zoe Slater feels hunted, Eve Panesar-Unwin comes face to face with her estranged mother, and Phil Mitchell returns home to chaos. Meanwhile, danger mounts for Kojo Asare, and Dr Anthony Trueman’s strange behaviour raises suspicions.
Episodes air from Monday 3 November to Thursday 6 November 2025, and here’s what’s coming up.
1. Zoe Slater Feels Targeted as Kat and Alfie Clash Over the Truth
After a chilling Halloween, Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) becomes convinced that someone is targeting her. Kat (Jessie Wallace) tries to be supportive, but Alfie (Shane Richie) believes Zoe is exaggerating.
Still on edge, Zoe meets with the private investigator searching for her lost son, but her world spirals when Freddie (Bobby Brazier) breaks the news that her kitten has gone missing. Soon after, defaced photos appear in The Vic, deepening the mystery.
When Alfie investigates, he discovers that Zoe herself was behind the vandalism. Cornered, Zoe admits tampering with the photos but insists she isn’t behind the more sinister events. Her claim gains weight when she receives a chilling text — someone says they’ve taken her cat.
Kat and Anthony (Nicholas Bailey) stage an intervention, hoping to get Zoe help, but things go from bad to worse when she causes chaos during The Vic’s quiz night.
2. Eve Panesar-Unwin Confronts Her Estranged Mother
Eve (Heather Peace) faces one of her biggest emotional challenges when her mother, Norma, arrives in Walford. Their history is fraught with tension and rejection, and Eve’s plan to ask for a reference for her and Suki’s (Balvinder Sopal) adoption application doesn’t go smoothly.
Norma agrees to meet, but her old-fashioned views quickly surface, sparking a heated argument. Eve is left crushed, questioning her right to be a parent.
Meanwhile, Suki finds unexpected comfort in a heart-to-heart with Lily Slater (Lillia Turner), who offers words of support that surprise them both.
3. Phil Mitchell Explodes Over Nigel’s Arrest
Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) returns to Albert Square to shocking news — Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) has handed himself in after accidentally running over Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness).
Phil instantly blames Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) for the chaos, accusing her of negligence. But after advice from Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), he begins to see things differently and turns his focus to fixing the situation.
Phil calls in the one person who might save Nigel — Ritchie Scott (Sian Webber), his go-to lawyer. Later, Phil and Julie accompany Nigel to a crucial medical assessment that could decide his fate.
4. Kojo Asare Risks Everything to Save Harry Mitchell
The Mitchell family’s drug crisis reaches boiling point. George (Colin Salmon) is frantic about missing son Kojo (Dayo Koleosho), while Phil admits he never approved his absence from work.
Unbeknownst to them, Kojo is trapped deeper in a dangerous drug operation with dealer Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu). When he learns that Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) is being held hostage, Kojo makes a desperate bid to free him.
He snatches the keys and helps Harry escape, but their plan falters when Harry collapses, too weak to move. Kojo urges him to go on while he distracts Okie.
Meanwhile, Teddy (Roland Manookian) finally tells George and Junior (Micah Balfour) the truth, leaving George torn between protecting Kojo and calling the police. Later, Nicola (Laura Doddington) stumbles upon a shocking discovery that could change everything.
5. Dr Anthony Trueman’s Secretive Behaviour Raises Alarm
Back in Walford, Dr Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) settles into his new job at the Panesar House surgery, but his odd behaviour doesn’t go unnoticed. Patrick (Rudolph Walker) is proud of his son but can’t shake the feeling that something’s not right.
Anthony insists he’s planning to stay in the Square permanently, but his secretive phone call later that night hints otherwise. Who is he really contacting, and what is he hiding from his family?
