EastEnders' Callum Highway will make a devastating decision about Ben Mitchell as he's drawn back to the dark side next week.
Another big week for Ben (Max Bowden) will see his problems escalate when Danny Hardcastle (Paul Usher) returns to Walford with a proposition for him.
Not wanting Danny to know about his hearing loss, Ben does his best to keep up appearances and pretends to understand what the schemer is saying.
As Ben becomes embroiled in Danny's dark world once again, he brushes off concerns from his worried boyfriend Callum – who wants him to learn sign language and also avoid any stress.
Unfortunately, Ben is soon faced with another setback when he learns that his operation won't be for another few weeks, prompting him to explain to Callum that it comes with potentially serious complications anyway.
Wanting a distraction, Ben hatches a plan to stay in control and makes preparations for his upcoming meeting with Danny.
