EastEnders spoilers confirm suicide storyline, Debbie twist and Bianca's turmoil

EastEnders airs some shocking scenes next week on the BBC soap, while there's also worrying behaviour from one resident and another character makes a huge discovery

EastEnders will air huge scenes for more than one character on the BBC soap next week.

There's a devastating twist for Yolande Trueman just as she hopes for justice after her sexual assault ordeal. The character was attacked by someone she trusted, Pastor Clayton, earlier this year before she reported her abuser.

Next week Pastor Clayton's wife Stella tries to convince her to withdraw her statement, after it's revealed another woman has come forward in the case against him. Yolande is quick to share some home truths, but she's later terrified when Clayton arrives at her home and barges in.

He tries to force her to change her statement, but he reels when he realises Yolande won’t do as he says and soon he leaves, only because Denzel arrives and marches him out. But just as Yolande has found strength by standing up to her attacker, there's a horrifying revelation as the police arrive and confirm that Pastor Clayton has died by suicide.

Elsewhere next week in Walford, Bianca Jackson continues to spark concern with her mental health after some erratic behaviour. She's desperate to trick Reiss Colwell into a confession over his ex-wife Debbie's murder, the crime which her sister Sonia Fowler is currently in prison for.

Bianca is soon shocked to read the contents of a letter addressed to Reiss at the house. Later on, Debbie’s grieving parents arrive with a solicitor to read the contents of her will with Reiss, who asks Bianca to leave.

She listens in though in secret and is shocked by Debbie’s requests. She's left even more determined to catch out Reiss and record a confession, but will she do more harm than good?

Also next week Tommy Moon is continuing to cause trouble for his parents Kat Slater and Alfie Moon, bunking off school. Tommy puts on a nice-guy act in front of Kat and Alfie, but it’s clear not all is resolved.

Elsewhere, George's attempts to bond with Kojo continue to fall flat, while Cindy and Junior get steamy once more amid Ian leaving his wife furious. Freddie tries to get someone to open up about their health but will they listen?
