EastEnders confirms return as three families are unexpectedly torn apart in 51 pictures

Families are war more than ever in EastEnders next week, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, with showdowns aplenty as deadly feuds are forged.

Avani Nandra-Hart’s (Aaliyah James) relationship with older boy Mason is uncovered by Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury), with word reaching Ravi Galati’s (Aaron Thiara), who confiscates her phone.

In a bid to calm the situation, Avani claims that it’s Barney she’s going out with and thus Ravi decides against going through her messages.

Avani, however, later returns to the Square with an injury from Mason and Ravi gets the wrong end of the stick, believing that Barney is to blame as he sets about getting revenge.

What ensues causes a war between the Panesar and Mitchell clan, with Teddy (Roland Manookian) hellbent on teaching Ravi and his family a lesson over how they behaved.

The question is: which family will come out victorious?

Elsewhere, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) returns home to Walford and notices a bruise which Kat Slater (Jesse Wallace) is trying to hide.

Kat lies, claiming that she got the injury on a boozy night out, but Alfie works out the truth and later overhears a heated discussion between Tommy and Kat.

How will Tommy react now that his dad knows the truth? And what’s more, how will Alfie deal with the situation? That remains to be seen but carnage soon ensues.

It’s going to be quite a week in the Square!
