EastEnders spoilers for next Monday (June 8) and Tuesday's (June 9) episodes follow.
Mitch Baker's jealousy over Karen Taylor's new relationship will boil over next week in EastEnders.
Karen's (Lorraine Stanley) former partner has struggled to hide his jealousy ever since her current relationship with Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) started to get serious earlier in the year.
Next week, Karen will try to take her and Billy's relationship to the next level by offering him a drawer in her flat, for when he stays over.

The news mortifies Mitch (Roger Griffiths) enough that he intervenes to warn Billy that he and Karen will always be soulmates – no matter what relationship she's currently involved in!
What to Read Next
Mitch puts a new plan to woo Karen into action that evening by cooking a big family dinner. The entire Taylor/Baker clan are ultimately impressed to see Mitch putting in such a huge effort.
But Billy realises exactly what his love rival is trying to do – will he be able to prove to Karen that Mitch is trying to throw a wrench into their relationship?
These will be some of the last episodes before EastEnders is forced to go on an extended hiatus in two weeks because of the pause in filming.
Despite what has been reported elsewhere this week, Digital Spy has learned from an insider that "there are absolutely no plans to scrap all of the show's storylines" for a reboot when EastEnders eventually returns later this year.
The soap will replace new episodes during its hiatus with some classics from the past, as well as a new interview series with cast members, presented by Stacey Dooley.
EastEnders airs the tensions between Billy and Mitch next Monday at 8pm and next Tuesday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
