EastEnders' brand new trailer promises that it's going to be a blazing hot summer in Albert Square!
A first-look at the dramatic events of the new few weeks premiered ahead of a double bill on Thursday night (June 6), promising a literal chase down the Square when Bobby Beale is finally released from his youth detention centre.
It was announced this week that young Clay Milner Russell will be taking over the role, and while viewers might be intrigued to see Bobby back, Max Branning certainly is not!
Max is definitely still upset over having to go on the run a few years back when he was initially framed by the Beales for Lucy's murder. Those old resentments might also surface because Bobby's father Ian returns in the teaser too.
Countless other surprises are shown, like the arrival Adrian Edmondson as a new love interest for Jean Slater, Jack Branning and Keanu Taylor both facing trouble with the law, and Shirley Carter making peace with old flame Phil Mitchell.
There's plenty of drama ahead for others too, with the Mitchell family returning to the forefront once again as Sharon (Letitia Dean) discovers that she's pregnant!
What to Read Next
Her baby secret looks set to cause an explosive conflict because Sharon believes the father of her child is Keanu (Danny Walters) rather than her husband Phil (Steve McFadden). That's life-changing news for Keanu, who is already expecting a baby with Phil's daughter Louise (Tilly Keeper).
Phil's son Ben (Max Bowden) has also found himself involved in an unlikely connection with Callum Highway (Tony Clay), after sussing last week that Callum has been hiding his attraction to the same sex.
Their volatile chemistry will only be heating up as Callum takes drastic action to keep his attraction to Ben a secret while still pursuing the Walford badboy behind closed doors. The arrival of Callum's abusive father (Richard Graham) will surely throw a wrench in as well!
There's yet more excitement to come as well with the return of troubled teen Hunter Owen (Charlie Winter) after being locked away, as well well as the opening of Kathy's historic Walford gay bar in time for Pride season.
Don't forget that the soap has also lined up comebacks for legendary characters Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin) later in the year too!
EastEnders will be taking Friday off to make way for Women's World Cup football, and will return on Monday (June 10) on BBC One at 8pm.
