EastEnders continues with The Six saga in next week’s episodes as Jack Branning could rumble their huge secret. As fans of the BBC One soap will know, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, Suki Panesar, Linda Carter, Sharon Watts and Kathy Beale – now dubbed The Six – covered up Keanu’s murder on Christmas Day.
The explosive scene kicked off when Nish Panesar got aggressive as he tried to stop his wife Suki from leaving him for Eve Unwin. As the villain grappled with the six women, Denise smacked him over the head with a champagne bottle, leaving him unconscious. Moments later, Keanu showed up and attempted to take Albie Watts away from Sharon after she jilted him at the altar. He attempted to strangle Sharon when Linda stabbed him in the back.
Now, months on from the killing, The Six have successfully covered up the murder by hiding Keanu’s body in the abandoned café following the fire, and telling Nish that Keanu was the one who hit him over the head. But Stacey recently found herself being framed for Nish’s assault after he told DC Whisson she was the one who attacked him.

Stacey was taken to the police station for questioning, where she made a desperate plea to Jack Branning to help her out amid their affair behind Denise’s back, who has since been sectioned. Later, Stacey was released without charge but she may have landed The Six in huge trouble after making two major blunders.
In a conversation with Jack, Stacey spoke of Nish’s attack and said The Six have “stories” instead of statements, leaving the copper suspicious. She then confessed that Denise was the one who hit Nish.
What happens to The Six next week?
In forthcoming EastEnders episodes that kick off on Monday (March 11), the Square marks Mother’s Day as Stacey and Jack are thrown together while Lily and Ricky celebrate with baby Charli at Walford East.
Amy Mitchell and Ricky beg Jack to let them see their step-mum Denise who was sectioned for psychosis following the events of Christmas. But Denise refuses any visitors.
Meanwhile, Johnny Carter, who knows that Linda killed Keanu, insists that Stacey needs to get to Denise before Jack or the kids do as otherwise The Six run the risk of their secret being blown wide open. After pressure from Johnny, Stacey asks Denise if she can visit.
Later at the hospital, Denise tells Stacey she’s no longer seeing hallucinations of Keanu but she wants to stay in hospital. However, Stacey argues that she needs her loved ones around her and things take an awkward turn when Jack walks in, demanding to know why Stacey is there.
Stacey is quick to think of an excuse as she creates a cover story but Jack is left hurt when Denise turns him away. Later in the week, Jack is rattled over Stacey’s secret visit to Denise as he starts to do some digging… but is he about to uncover The Six’s secret? EastEnders viewers will to have and see.
Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) was caught off-guard in recent EastEnders scenes when girlfriend Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) made the unexpected decision to move out.
Suki’s departure came after a row with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), who was quick to evict the lodger, unbeknown to Eve.
Suki and Stacey have been under immense stress since the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) on Christmas Day, and Stacey’s revelation that she had told Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) that Denise Fox (Diane Parish) had been the one to attack Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) left Suki furious.
Things soon escalated as they continued to blame each other for their situation, before Stacey finally snapped and ordered Suki out.
Following their chat, Eve finds an unlikely confidante in Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine), and as the pair discuss Eve’s situation she reveals that she is concerned living with Suki’s family would be a recipe for disaster.
After hashing things out with Penny, Eve finally turns to Suki and explains her fears.
However, when Eve caught Suki moving her things out, Suki kept quiet about the real reason, instead telling Eve that she was worried Nish would come after the Slater’s if she continued to live with them.
This left Eve frustrated as she wondered how long Suki would let Nish dictate her life, before storming off and informing Suki that she could do what she wanted.
In upcoming scenes, Eve remains frustrated by Suki’s decision, and Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) encourages Suki to try and mend things with her.
Eager to get things back on track, Suki apologises and invites Eve to move into No.41 following Nish’s unceremonious departure, though she is disappointed when she doesn’t get the answer she was hoping for.
