EastEnders will kick off Sean Slater's return drama next week as Stacey Fowler makes a shock confession.
Rob Kazinsky is reprising his role as Sean after ten years away, with his comeback first teased in last Friday's episode.
The scenes saw a supportive Shirley encourage her friend Jean to pen a wish list while undergoing her first round of chemotherapy treatment.
Now aware of Jean's desire to find Sean, Shirley will relay the information to a shocked Stacey in next week's episodes.
Still hurt that her mum is refusing to move back home, Stacey is left even more gobsmacked when Shirley admits that seeing Sean is the only thing Jean wants.
As Shirley's words play on her mind, Stacey ends up calling Sean but their call puts her in a very difficult position afterwards.
What to Read Next
With Stacey's phone call with Sean playing on her mind, Kat misreads her distracted behaviour as a sign she's missing Jean.
Wanting to help, Kat hatches a plan and arranges a Slater gathering at Kush’s to raise everyone's spirits.
However, when a guilty Stacey later admits she’s spoken to Sean, Kat is furious – insisting she shouldn't have called him.
Stacey continues to hide her guilt when Jean mentions Sean again, but will she come clean and admit she's spoken to him?
EastEnders airs these scenes next week on BBC One.
