FINLAY and Felix Baker are dealt with a big blow when their father Avery passes away.

But, soon enough, the EastEnders newcomers get another piece of shocking news about the latter – how will they cope?

New Walford resident Avery Baker (portrayed by Omar Lye-Fook) first arrived in Albert Square in recent episodes of the long-running BBC One soap.

In doing so, the character ruffled a few feathers, more particularly his brother Mitch's (Roger Griffiths).

The pair have been estranged for a number of years and have long struggled to get their relationship back on track.

However, when it's revealed Avery is terminally ill, Mitch is convinced by Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) to put their differences aside.

Next week, Mitch makes some more efforts for his brother as Avery's days are numbered.

The newcomer is desperate to go to an old restaurant that him and the cabbie used to eat at when they were younger.

Knowing Avery won't be able to make the trip due to his condition, Mitch surprises him with a Caribbean-themed party at the launderette.

The party is in full swing with Avery's son Felix aka drag queen Tara Misu (played by Matthew Morrison) at the helm.

The brothers reminisce, reflecting on easier times and Avery thanks Mitch for all he has done – before breathing his last.

But Avery doesn't pass away without leaving a posthumous bombshell for Mitch, Karen and his two sons, Felix and Finlay (Ashley Byam).

In The Vic, Karen hands Mitch a letter from Avery, leading the cabbie to make a shocking discovery about his brother.

And when Finlay and Felix prepare an extravagant funeral for their father, Mitch debates how he should tell them about what Karen found.
