EastEnders' Dotty Cotton will leave Ian Beale reeling when she ups the ante with her scheming.
Dotty (Milly Zero) knows the truth about Dennis Rickman's tragic death – and the crucial role Ian played in it.
Using the information to her advantage, Dotty has been blackmailing Ian over his guilty secret, threatening to tell Sharon everything if he doesn't comply.
Ian's nightmare will continue in next week's episodes, as he attempts to support his grief-stricken friend Sharon through Dennis's funeral.
Although Ian is keen to avoid running into Dotty afterwards, he can't resist an opportunity to play her at her own game later on.
When a troublesome Dotty steals a man's wallet, Ian's son Peter steps in to save the day when the stranger ends up giving chase.
What to Read Next
After all the commotion, Ian grabs an opportunity to search through Dotty's bag while she's asleep. In there, he swipes the keys to The Arches and puts his plan into action. But what is Ian up to? And will it pay off?
EastEnders was forced to shut down filming last week, amid the coronavirus crisis. Episodes have been reduced from four to two a week for the time being, in a bid to keep the show on air for as long as possible.
