EastEnders airs Max Branning's proposal to Linda Carter in episodes from Monday 16 to Thursday 19 November. The week also brings a social services hearing for Suki and Eve Panesar-Unwin, an unexpected offer for Nancy and a risky plan from Oscar Branning.
Max Branning gets down on one knee in EastEnders next week. These are the 7 EastEnders spoilers next, covering episodes airing between Monday 16 and Thursday 19 November.
It has been the year of Max (played by Jake Wood). The Carter family has had a chaotic few weeks, with Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) back, Nancy's pregnancy and Lee's struggle with alcoholism.
Max proposes to Linda
Max contemplates asking Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), who is departing, to marry him. Recent events leave him wrestling with guilt and questioning whether marriage is right for them both.
Caught up in the moment, he takes a leap of faith and asks anyway. The couple share the news quickly.
It is hard for his estranged wife Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) to stomach. She is celebrating the final stages of her annulment, and the news sends her into a spin. A conversation with Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) leaves her reconsidering her next move.
At Peacock Palace, Lee's birthday celebrations become a joint birthday and engagement party. Max braces for a showdown, but Cindy arrives with paperwork for him to sign. He signs it, and what that means for their future is left open.
Nancy and Jess
Nancy Carter (Maddy Hill) returns to Walford with Lee's baby and moves in with her brother Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff). Jess Fang arrives to meet the child, and her visit comes with an ultimatum for Lee.
Jess then offers Nancy an unexpected deal: she and the baby could start afresh elsewhere with her. The plan means a move to Dover, and Lee has to learn of it.
Suki and Eve face losing Ria
Suki and Eve Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal and Heather Peace) attend Ria Virdi's final social services hearing. Their family life is thrown into disarray.
Suki secretly arranges one last meeting between Ria (Aaria Sharma) and her birth mother Harleen. Eve knows nothing about it.
At court, Suki is determined to make her voice heard and delivers an impassioned plea. Later in the week, Eve gives her wife the cold shoulder and leaves the house to take her mind off everything.
Oscar sets his sights on Josh
Kat Moon's (Jessie Wallace) return is approaching. Mo Harris (Laila Morse) recruits Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan) to help Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) give The Vic a makeover.
Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) volunteers to help, keen to get back into Josh's good books. His father Max worries he could let something slip about Zoe Slater's death and warns him to keep his distance.
Sean has other ideas and encourages Oscar to follow his heart. Oscar then enlists brother-in-law Peter Beale (Thomas Law) and nephew Louie (Jake McNally) for his plan to win Josh back.
Elsewhere in Albert Square
Gemma Hawkins (Patricia Potter) prepares to launch a book club. One important obstacle stands in her way: she needs enough people willing to join.
Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) is troubled by a new development involving Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota). Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) gets some big news, and Gina Knight uncovers Vinny's proposal.
