Another week of high drama is about to hit The Square, as Stuart Highway claims it was Mick Carter who shot him. But first, let's recap on all the EastEnders antics from last week in Walford.
More arrests were made in connection with the shooting and it looked as though Stuart was taking a turn for the worse in hospital, prompting the police to tighten up their investigation. However, accusations led to one person to paying a visit to the police in a bid to put things right..
Elsewhere, Carmel Kazemi was devastated when she found a pair of trainers that she was going to give Shakil Kazemi for his birthday. However, she was in for an even bigger shock when his attacker's mum turned up on her doorstep.
Meanwhile, Sharon Mitchell and Keanu Taylor continued their sordid affair but were left red-faced when it appeared someone had caught them in the act.
Now this week, as the aftermath of the shooting is still causing tension in the Square, everyone is relieved when they learn the doctors are going to try and bring Stuart round.
Will he tell the police what really happened at The Vic?
Despite the update, Shirley Carter remains adamant that Dylan Box is responsible and hatches a plan to prove it.
