This week, multiple storylines in EastEnders concluded. A few days ago, we learnt Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) was the person who attacked Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) at Christmas. The audience vote that decided Denise Fox’s (Diane Parish) future in Albert Square concluded, with the character choosing to reunite with Jack (Scott Maslen) over Ravi (Aaron Thiara).

Following the explosion in the Queen Vic, Sonia’s crazed partner Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) died when a bath fell on him. Supported by Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer), Sonia gave birth to a little girl, with another audience vote result meaning she called the baby Julia.

The most heartbreaking development to come out of the anniversary episodes was Martin’s death. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who’s leaving Coronation Street?
