With a long-awaited return on the cards, plus two new potential owners for the Queen Vic, next week’s EastEnders drama is very much worth the wait, that’s for sure.

Struggling to wait until Monday? Fear not, as Metro.co.uk is on hand to provide you with all the latest goss, goings-on and previews for upcoming Albert Square action and, even better, we’re doing so with pictures!

if you’d like a not-so-little preview of what’s coming up then we’re here to serve, with a picture gallery teasing EVERYTHING.

Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) is emotional over her baby’s test results being delayed, following her discovery that her child has a condition called Omphalocele, and she confides in Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott) over the phone, revealing that Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) is pregnant.

Ryan subsequently arrives on the Square, causing a stir! Lily meets with her dad, enjoying some quality time with him, as he offers to support her financially.

Lily, however, is not pleased with Stacey’s (Lacey Turner) attitude towards him, but Stacey claps back that Martin Fowler (James Bye) is her actual father.

Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), meanwhile, confides in Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) that she’s had some bad news via a call from the lawyer, who confirmed that Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) wants to sell Mick’s (Danny Dyer) half of the Vic.

The pair head to the café to hatch a plan, but it soon becomes apparent that Linda may have to sell up.

Wanting to help her friend, Sharon later makes Linda an offer she can’t refuse. Eve Unwin (Heather Peace), however, puts Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) forward as a potential business partner.

But who will Linda go into business with?

That is the question, but it’s not the only thing on the landlady’s mind, as she struggles with it being the first Valentine’s Day without her beloved Mick. Sharon, meanwhile, reminisces about her beloved son Dennis Rickman (Bleu Landau), who died on Valentine’s Day three years ago.

EastEnders airs these scenes w/c Monday February 13 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
