EastEnders spoilers 12 to 15 October reveal six huge stories
Ned blackmails Mark, Ryder opens up, Amy’s lies unravel and Kat reaches breaking point in a packed new week of EastEnders.
EastEnders delivers a packed week from 12 to 15 October as several secrets come dangerously close to being exposed and relationships across Walford face mounting pressure.
Ned is at the centre of several major developments after becoming co-owner of Harry’s Barn. While he rallies the community to celebrate, he discovers Lauren and Mark’s secret after finding them meeting at No.31.

Lauren initially believes a handyman may have overheard them, but Ned soon reveals that he was inside the house.
He demands a favour from Mark and later makes a shocking request, using the threat of exposing the affair to keep Mark under pressure.
Lauren urges Mark to protect their secret, leaving him reluctantly carrying out Ned’s orders.

Ned is also putting Ryder under increasing pressure. An old football coach encourages Ryder to return to the sport, but Nicola begins to understand his reluctance after learning about the struggles faced by one of his former teammates after coming out.
Ryder then tells Nicola about the man he has been seeing and explains his concerns about Ned’s influence over his life.

Encouraged to be honest, Ryder decides to have an important conversation with his mum, unaware Ned has overheard him arranging it.
Amy also faces a difficult week as Craig continues demanding her attention. Denise urges her to focus on her studies, while Jack discovers she has been skipping classes.

Craig later discovers Denzel’s ID in his flat and asks Amy to prove her loyalty by showing him her phone.
He finds a shirtless photograph Denzel sent her and, although he accepts Amy’s explanation, his resentment towards Denzel deepens.

Kat’s grief over Zoe becomes increasingly overwhelming.
Jean attempts to comfort her, but Kat pushes away her loved ones, turns to alcohol and eventually suffers a breakdown.

Phil steps in to help, but Kat continues spiralling after returning to The Vic.
Her argument with Alfie also continues, leaving their relationship hanging in the balance.
Meanwhile, Nancy’s mood improves after she runs into Zack. Following their reconciliation, the pair agree to meet for a drink in The Vic.
EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
