EastEnders' Gray Atkins will begin to crack under pressure as the day of Chantelle's funeral arrives.
Gray (Toby Alexander-Smith) killed Chantelle in harrowing scenes earlier this month, but has told the police – and her family – that she died in an accident at home.
Next week's episodes will see Gray struggling to look after the kids, work on Whitney's trial and cope with his guilt about Chantelle at the same time.

With the pressure mounting, Gray ends up being late to a meeting with his colleague and is left horrified when he learns that they want to take him off the case.
What to Read Next
Given that Chantelle's funeral is on the same day as the first hearing, Gray's colleagues state that he can't possibly be there and won't be in the right state of mind.
Panicking, Gray pleads with her that he needs to work and later tells Whitney that he is staying on the case.
Although Whitney is adamant that he needs to be with his kids, she's also secretly terrified of facing court without him.
As Gray struggles to hold it together on the day of Chantelle's funeral, what will he decide to do?
EastEnders airs these scenes on Monday, October 5, Tuesday, October 6 and Thursday, October 8 on BBC One.
