EastEnders spoilers follow.
Next week on EastEnders will see Chantelle's domestic-abuse story reach a devastating ending, while Frankie takes an unusual interest in the Carter family and Callum faces a new dilemma over Ben.
1. Chantelle plans her escape
Next week marks the tragic end to Chantelle's ongoing story, as she's killed by Gray when she's trying to leave him.
Chantelle's final days will see her plot an escape, which is, ostensibly, a 'family holiday' to the seaside.
However, as Chantelle puts the final arrangements in place – which include saying an emotional goodbye to Kheerat– Gray throws a manipulative spanner in the works by insisting the children stay home with him.
2. Mitch grows worried
When Chantelle is forced to proceed with the 'holiday' without Mack and Mia, her dad Mitch will grow concerned about her withdrawn behaviour.
Aware that something is wrong, Mitch follows Chantelle to a cafe at the seaside, but she doesn't open up and instead insists that she is just missing her children.
Desperate to fix things for her, Mitch heads back to Walford to get the youngsters. But as Chantelle begins to feel hopeful that her plan is back on, she is unaware that Mitch has returned – with Gray in tow.
When Gray subtly forces Chantelle back to Walford later on, Mitch detects a flicker of fear on Chantelle's face.
3. Gray obstructs Chantelle's plan
With his suspicions intensifying, Gray will go to extreme lengths to make Chantelle's life as difficult as possible while she's trying to get away.
Not only does he insist on the children staying back with him, but Gray later horrifies Chantelle by turning up at her holiday destination.
When Gray insists that they all go back to Walford, Chantelle has no choice but to agree given that the kids are already in the car.
4. Chantelle's story reaches a devastating conclusion
After being forced back home by Gray, next Friday's episode will see Chantelle arrive back in Walford with her abusive husband, where the horror she has lived silently with for many years is about to get worse.
Show bosses have already confirmed that Chantelle will die at the end of next week's harrowing scenes, with executive producer Jon Sen saying: "Jessica's performance is nothing short of extraordinary, and even in her final scenes, the audience will be moved by Chantelle's strength.
"We're very sorry so see Jessica go but hope that her impact on viewers is long-lasting."
5. Frankie takes an interest in the Carters
As Tina gets to know Frankie, she learns about Frankie's brother – who died ten years ago.
Tina's excited when Frankie asks her out for a drink after work and Frankie instantly takes a shine to Ollie when she meets him at The Vic.
Frankie is soon bonding with Ollie, but the Carters are unaware that she is taking photos of them. What is she up to?
6. There's good news for Max – and bad news for Ian
Max's week gets off to a good start when he learns that his divorce from Rainie has finally come through.
Delighted, Max thanks Ian for helping him out and tells him to keep £2,000 of what he owes him for his gratitude. However, Max does insist that he needs the rest back – and now. Which could be an issue given that Ian no longer has it...
7. Kathy worries Ian's debts
With Ian preparing for a meeting with Councillor Douglas to try and get his backing to become the Chair of the planning committee, Kathy grows further concerned about his spiralling money situation.

When Kathy inadvertently lets slip that Ian is having financial struggles, Max’s interest is piqued and he decides to get answers.

As Ian makes up excuses, Max makes it clear he wants his money back – and soon. What will Ian do?
