The Six will face further trials and tribulations in EastEnders<\/a> in the second week of January.<\/p>\n

The second week of January is set to bring huge drama for The Six after Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) killed<\/a> a violent Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) on Christmas Day to save the life of her best friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, what will become of Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) after he was hit over the head with a champagne bottle by Denise Fox (Diane Parish) remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in the first week of January<\/a>, fans will have seen the return of Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa)<\/a> to our screens opposite her troublesome cousin Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine)<\/a>, the daughter of Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).<\/p>\n

However, smooth sailing for the Branning ladies returning to Walford is looking very unlikely\u2026<\/p>\n

The following EastEnders spoilers are for the week airing Monday 8th January 2024 to Thursday 11th January 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the death of Keanu Taylor<\/a> and faking his disappearance and grievous assault of Nish Panesar, the Six find themselves continuing to struggle in the New Year.<\/p>\n

Builders arrive to begin the restoration work on the cafe where they have hidden Keanu\u2019s body<\/a>, prompting panic amongst Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), and Linda.<\/p>\n

As Suki tries to stall the builders, Linda returns to the Square and then begins to break down in public. Stacey tries to comfort Linda but reminds her of how important it is that she stays sober and holds it together.<\/p>\n

While Suki is successful in delaying the building work, the ladies then debate how they are going to dispose of Keanu\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Then, Suki gets a call that could turn their worlds upside down.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) questions how devoted her stepmother Denise Fox (Diane Parish) is to their family following the dramatic Christmas period.<\/p>\n

As the week goes on, Denise attempts to join the rest of the Six to discuss the body but estranged husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) stops her in her tracks by introducing his eldest daughter, Penny.<\/p>\n

Denise is then unimpressed when she heads to the Vic barrel store where a drunken Linda has been taken by Kathy from The Albert.<\/p>\n

Kathy is forced to intervene to stop an argument between Linda and Denise, prompting them to decide to meet as a group at the cafe later.<\/p>\n

With a clear plan, the ladies later make their excuses to head out and put it into action.<\/p>\n
