and explosive revelations that will shake the residents of Albert Square to their very core.
Tensions are rising, secrets are spilling, and relationships are put to the test. Here are the EastEnders spoilers for the week of 28th April to 1st May.
1. Teddy and Nicola’s Shocking Secret: A Deadly Revelation
The drama intensifies as Teddy and Nicola find themselves caught in a web of lies and buried secrets. This week, Nicola uncovers a horrifying truth: the site Teddy and Junior are redeveloping is none other than the infamous Paradise Park, where her henchman Benji buried Shireen Bashar, Harry’s ex-girlfriend, all those years ago. The disappearance of Shireen has always been shrouded in mystery, but now, as the construction progresses, the truth is about to come to light.
Benji reveals that he buried Shireen’s body with a significant clue: Nicola’s own bracelet, acting as insurance should she ever try to blame him for the crime. Fearing the worst, Nicola turns to Ravi for help, hoping to move the body and silence the past once and for all. However, when Ravi hears the details of the grim task ahead, he quickly backs out, leaving Nicola in a perilous position.
As tension mounts, Teddy overhears a conversation between Nicola and Ravi and demands answers. Cornered, Nicola admits her role in Shireen’s disappearance, shocking Teddy to his core. With the truth now out in the open, Teddy insists they tell Harry, but Nicola is adamant. She argues that revealing the truth will send their son spiraling out of control, leading Teddy to reluctantly agree to keep the secret between them. But secrets have a way of getting out, and when their son Barney senses something is wrong, the pressure begins to mount. Teddy, desperate to maintain control, orders Nicola to stop confiding in others and to let him handle the situation.

In an attempt to regain some control, Avani agrees to submit a formal complaint to the police, with the hope that justice might be served. However, when Priya delivers the bad news that the police have decided not to pursue the case, Avani’s hopes are dashed.
Priya, fearing the impact of this decision on Avani’s fragile state, chooses to withhold the information from her. She also asks Amy to keep quiet, but the weight of this secret proves too much for Priya. Later, after a tense encounter with Jack, Priya heads to the police station once again, determined to fight for Avani’s case. However, when Priya loses her temper during the confrontation, Callum steps in to intervene, trying to calm the situation.
Meanwhile, Avani spends time with Joel, a new arrival at No. 41, and attempts to rebuild her life, even as her trust in those around her begins to waver.

Initially amused by Kojo’s direct approach to work, Harry is soon impressed by Kojo’s extensive knowledge of cars, leading to a successful trial shift. Kojo’s impressive performance earns him a permanent job offer, and the two men forge an unexpected bond.
As their friendship deepens, Harry—ever the self-styled ladies’ man—decides to impart his “wisdom” about love and dating to Kojo. The duo spends time together at Harry’s barn, attempting to charm women and test out Harry’s well-known skills in the art of flirting. However, things take a turn when Harry attempts to win over Gina, a woman with whom he has had a rocky relationship after a heated altercation involving a brick through a window. Will Harry’s charm work on Gina, or is he about to face an embarrassing setback?
Meanwhile, Johnny, who has been casually seeing Felix, begins to develop deeper feelings. Confessing his desire for a more serious relationship, Johnny confronts his emotions and wonders if Felix feels the same.

4. The Mitchells Strike a Deal: Tensions Rise
On Tuesday, Teddy and Nicola find themselves in a tense negotiation with Benji regarding the ongoing situation at the Paradise Park site. After discussing the deal with Benji, Nicola is left seething as she realizes that selling Harry’s barn may be the only way to pay off Benji for the job. However, Teddy, ever the problem solver, quickly comes up with an alternative solution. But this only seems to anger Nicola further, as she feels that Teddy is once again handling things in a way that doesn’t take her feelings into account.
Their already strained relationship is tested further when, later that day, Nicola finds herself ambushed by an intruder at Harry’s barn. The intruder has one thing on their mind: revenge.
