EastEnders spoilers reveal a return, concern for Patrick and Oscar in danger

There's plenty of action happening on EastEnders next week according to new spoilers for the BBC soap.

More than one resident faces danger, and ongoing issues come between a couple. Another pair face drama as concern is sparked about a Walford legend.

Amid this there's a comeback for one character ahead of another big return, while there's also big decisions, risks taken and sad moments on the way. Starting off next week, Alfie Moon returns to the show after weeks away.

The character headed off to find his missing stepdaughter Zoe Slater who fled after revealing she was in trouble. Keeping this from his wife Kat Slater, with her cousin Stacey Slater doing the same, things get tense next week.

Kat slams Alfie for lying to her about where he's been after his story about his brother Spencer was proven wrong. Alfie promises never to lie to her again, while he refuses to tell her the truth about what's been going on.

Meanwhile it's an emotional time for Stacey and her kids, as they celebrate tragic Martin Fowler's birthday months on from his death. Elsewhere, there's more drama for the Branning family as Oscar faces danger.

Lauren Branning finds out thug Mike was at the house threatening her brother, after Oscar grassed him to the police up causing a feud. Later, Oscar is alone when Mike and his friend Harrison show up and attack him, only for Jack Branning to save his nephew from further harm.

Lauren confronts her sibling and tells him he's on his last warning. When Oscar is alone and he sees a hooded figure in the house he goes on the attack, not realising it's Lauren's partner Peter Beale - leading to Peter demanding he leaves.

The incident leads to Lauren trying to get her brother to open up, and he soon tells her more about his time in the youth offender’s centre. Determined to help Oscar, Lauren tries to get Peter to give him a chance leading to a huge row between them.

There's more trouble from Mike later in the week too, so will Oscar manage to move on? Also next week, pregnant teen Avani Nandra-Hart prepares to attend her appointment, while her grandmother Suki Panesar is keen to track her down but will she find her?

Harry Mitchell panics next week over the drugs hidden at Kojo Asare's flat, with the latter's brother George Knight almost finding the stash. Harry continues to work for Ravi Gulati, and soon Harry is forced to agree to let newcomer Okie conduct illegal business at Kojo’s flat.

Needing to distract George so he doesn't find out, he enlists the help of his mother Nicola Mitchell who's worried her son is in too deep with dangerous people. He refuses her help though, while Nicola offers George the job of Head of Security at Harry’s Barn.

Finally next week there's concern for Patrick Trueman, ahead of the return of his son Anthony Trueman. Yolande worries her partner is gambling ahead of their wedding, and she tells him to stop.

Patrick is determined to carry on placing bets in secret, and when he wins big on the horses he convinces Howie Danes to hide it from Yolande. Amid his own money issues Howie is embarrassed that his son Denzel is relying on Kim Fox, Howie's partner, when he needs money.

As Howie tries to get work, there's drama at home when Yolande tells Patrick that the wedding is off if he places another bet. Soon Howie offers a solution and suggests he can place the bet for Patrick instead - but will he agree?
