| Deputy Soaps Editor Published September 1, 2026 7:47pm Updated September 1, 2026 7:47pm Ravi is on the warpath in EastEnders (Picture: BBC / Metro) If you’re eager to know what happens next in EastEnders – and let’s face it why wouldn’t you be after that cliffhanger! – then you’re in luck as we’ve got a little preview of what’s in store for Wednesday. The latest visit to Walford saw Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) continue to struggle in the wake of her extended Hawkins clan making their mark on the Square. Fearing that they’d be left with nowhere to go, Gemma Hawkins (Patricia Potter) decided to take matters into her own hands, locking Nicola and mum Rose (Marian McLoughlin) in the back of a van to hash out their differences, to no avail. And there was also that cliffhanger we mentioned as Priya Nandra-Hart’s (Sophie Khan Levy) affair with Max Branning (Jake Wood) is on the cusp of exposure after Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) witnessed an exchange between the two – and started to piece together the truth. Ravi had told Priya earlier in the episode that he’d ‘kill’ the man she was seeing if it turned out to be someone he knew – will he follow through on such a statement? If you’re keen for your next Walford fix then we have what you need, with a look ahead at what’s to come tomorrow. What happens next in EastEnders? New spoilers for Wednesday, September 2 Armed with suspicion after what he saw, Ravi watches Max like a hawk, determined to find out if there is any truth to his theory about him being the man Priya was seeing – and he soon comes up with a way to confirm said suspicions.
