Convinced to return home for Christmas, Denise told Jack \u201cI honestly don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll do\u201d if he betrays her again.<\/p>\n<p>When, soon after, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-denise-jack-stacey-discovery-newsupdate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denise spotted a secret meeting<\/a> between Jack and Stacey that told her all she needed to know, we couldn\u2019t help wondering how far Denise might go in the wake of this deceit.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a subdued Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) stared solemnly at a poster for missing lover Eve Unwin (Heather Peace), while Stacey was shocked to receive a bouquet of flowers from Eve.<\/p>\n<p>But something just didn\u2019t add up, and some digging from Suki led to the discovery that her husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry) had ordered the flowers \u2013 so he must know all about Eve\u2019s affair with Suki!<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suki and Stacey debated whether Nish had murdered Eve, unaware that his son Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has run her out of town. Suki knew just how cunning and clever Nish was, but Stacey reminded her that \u201cmen only have power if you let them\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As she panicked over Eve, Stacey couldn\u2019t help blurting out that she wanted to do whatever could hurt Nish the most, before quickly backtracking in front of a quiet Suki.<\/p>\n<p>Suki urged Stacey to trust her where Nish was concerned, and Stacey asked her not to do anything stupid. But Suki was next seen stealing drugs from the surgery, so is she about to make a deadly decision this early on?<\/p>\n<p>All the while, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) began selling a batch of amber cufflinks on the market, splitting the proceeds with Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) in a bid to cheer up the grieving grandad.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) remarked that he already had a matching pair of cufflinks, and we all know that Phil, Nish, Ravi and Jack are among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-seven-victims-bodies-christmas-2023-newsupdate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seven potential victims<\/a> wearing the very same accessory on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n<p>Who will make the next move as storylines collide?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-christmas-special-who-dies-poll-exclusive-newsupdate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Who do you think dies and kills in the EastEnders Christmas special?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-chris-clenshaw-interview-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw previews Christmas 2023 and The Six aftermath<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-letitia-dean-sharon-watts-interview-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders\u2019 Letitia Dean on whether Sharon can forgive Keanu for kidnap secret<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-gillian-taylforth-interview-kathy-cotton-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders\u2019 Gillian Taylforth on Kathy and Rocky: \u201cShe can\u2019t live with the constant lies\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-diane-parish-interview-heartbreak-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders\u2019 Diane Parish teases \u201cheartbreak\u201d in Christmas episode<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-lacey-turner-interview-stacey-slater-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders\u2019 Lacey Turner on whether Stacey will kill again: \u201cShe will do whatever it takes to protect Eve\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-balvinder-sopal-interview-suki-panesar-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders\u2019 Balvinder Sopal: \u201cPeople will be on the edge of their seats\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-spoilers-kellie-bright-interview-linda-carter-christmas-2023\/\">EastEnders\u2019 Kellie Bright: \u201cThe body wasn\u2019t who I thought it would be\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6343178956112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit our dedicated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EastEnders<\/a><\/strong><strong>\u00a0page\u00a0<\/strong><strong>for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Streaming Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/?utm_term=evergreen-article\"><strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a><strong>.
