EastEnders spoilers follow.
Next week on EastEnders, Suki is suspicious over Jean's collapse, Keegan's in trouble and Ben gets disappointing news at the hospital – throwing Phil's plans into jeopardy.
Here are the 12 biggest stories to watch out for...
1. Ben gets devastating news
As Ben prepares for his operation, both Kathy and Callum grow increasingly concerned about his welfare.
As we saw last night, Ben was feeling under the weather as he headed to hospital for surgery but is determined not to make the medical team aware of this.
Despite his best attempts to persevere regardless, Ben is gutted when the doctor refuses to proceed while he's unwell.
What to Read Next
2. Phil arouses suspicion
With his son preparing for surgery, Linda is taken aback when Phil seems more concerned about buying The Vic than Ben's operation.
Unaware of what's happening at the hospital, Phil's mood turns sour when he later learns from Kathy that Ben's operation has had to be rescheduled.
With both Ben and Phil reeling from the news, and the subsequent impact it will have on their upcoming job, Kathy becomes correctly suspicious that something is going on.
3. Keegan faces the music with Jack
Keegan broke Jack's promise last night, and he'll be left to face the consequences next week.
With Keegan acting strangely, it doesn't take long for Tiffany to realise that he's shared the incriminating video evidence online, despite Jack's firm warning that he must not.
Worried Jack could lose his job over this, Tiffany forces Keegan to tell a furious Jack, sparking an explosive row between them. But as Keegan refuses to apologise, has he cost Jack his job?
4. Suki is suspicious
Jean suffered a worrying seizure in last night's episode, and the aftermath will play out in next week's episodes.
As Tina calls an ambulance for Jean, Suki steps in to help while they wait. However, as Jean is rushed to hospital, Suki becomes suspicious – convinced that not everything is as it seems. Will Suki discover what Kush and Shirley have been up to?

5. Meet Frankie
Fans will be introduced to newcomer Frankie next week, for the next chapter in Ben's ongoing story.
Rose Ayling-Ellis has been cast in the role of Frankie, who is deaf, and her first scenes will air in next Monday's episode.
Ben will initially spot Frankie arguing with a doctor at the hospital, leaving him all the more fearful over his own future.
Later, Ben's boyfriend Callum is given food for thought when he catches Frankie shoplifting. Realising Frankie is deaf, Callum steps in to help and asks her to speak to Ben, but what will he make of the idea?
6. Habiba's plan is rumbled
Habiba has promised to do some digging for Rainie, but we're about to discover that she's not exactly the ingenious detective she claims to be.
As Habiba puts her plan into motion, Ian soon cottons onto what's going on and plays her at her own game. Is Habiba and Rainie's plan over before it's even begun?
7. Ian makes Max an offer
After filling Max in on what Rainie and Habiba are up to, Ian takes their new alliance one step further.
Having got Max on side, Ian makes him an offer he can't refuse – but what is it? And what will Max say?
8. Phil has a decision to make
Phil has some big decisions to make next week, as the plans for his latest job begin to fall apart.
With Ben unable to have his operation as planned, Phil is forced to contemplate whether he should let his son be involved now at all. Phil is left further torn following a conversation with Kathy, in which he deliberately downplays the situation.
Phil's week goes from bad to worse when he spots graffiti on Dennis's memorial bench, but as he goes to fix it, he's approached by Danny, who wants to speak to him. What does Danny want?
9. Isaac opens up
Isaac has gone off the rails following his discovery about Patrick, but he'll finally let his guard down in upcoming episodes.
Having made a fool of himself in front of Denise, Isaac's behaviour will continue to cause concern next week. After some words of wisdom from schoolgirl Bailey, Isaac opens up to Denise about how he's been feeling. Will she support him?
10. Peter is struggling
With the anniversary of Lucy's death approaching, the Beales rally round to support a struggling Peter. But despite his family's good intentions, it all becomes too much for Peter and he rushes off.
Peter's reaction leaves Bobby gutted, as he grows convinced that his brother still resents him for what happened.
11. Lola's living on edge
Lola and Peter have spent the last few weeks at each other's throats over his nonchalant approach to their night together. But with her happiness very much lying in Peter's hands, Lola will take a different approach to ensure he keeps their secret.
After yet another run-in with Peter, Lola changes tactic and offers Peter an olive branch, what will he say?
12. Ruby offers Martin a job
Martin and Ruby could be spending a whole lot more time together if this snippet from next is anything to go by.
Impressed when Martin tackles a thief, Ruby offers him a job as security at the club. Upcoming scenes will see Martin start working at Ruby's, but could they grow closer again in the process?
