Since that fateful Christmas Day death, the EastEnders Six have been on edge, just waiting for the day their involvement in what happened to Keanu would come to light.

As Dean Wicks’ (Matt Di Angelo) trial dawns, they are closer than ever to escaping justice, but things start to spectacularly fall apart very quickly.

While Dean’s situation looks bleak, a disappearing Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) throws a spanner into the works and Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) is put under pressure on the stand.

And, trying to hold things together for Charli’s first birthday party, Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) also has the weight of the world on her shoulders.

As the week goes on, it’s not just Dean’s life on the line, but the lives of all six women and those who love them – so when one takes unexpected action, the consequences may be far-reaching.

Elsewhere, the aftermath of the club crush continues to have a dramatic impact on those effected – and Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) has something to say that could rock Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Denise (Diane Parish) to the core if she goes through with it…

Sharon is accosted by Bernie and protests her innocence once more. Linda arrives at No.43 to support an anxious Sharon, but the pair are interrupted by Phil and Albie who has his first day at school.

Sharon is upset to be missing the day and starts to worry about the trial which unsettles Linda, but Phil reassures them both. Sharon asks Suki and Kathy to check in on Linda and show their support before she testifies.

At the courtroom, Sharon crumbles under the pressure of her cross-examination from Dean’s brief when he starts bringing up information from her past, and a situation quickly escalates that could have huge repercussions for The Six.

Having witnessed the chaos, Linda flees from the court before giving a witness statement, much to Sharon’s horror.

At No.31, Mo gives Stacey some pearls of wisdom before testifying in court but Stacey is consumed with guilt after a disagreement with Lily when Mo reminds her that Stacey had forgotten to help Lily plan Charli’s first birthday party as promised. Later, Stacey heads to court to give her witness statement…
