EastEnders fans are in for an explosive week as Sean Slater returns to Walford and immediately finds himself caught up in the desperate search for missing Amy Mitchell.

The BBC soap has revealed a dramatic run of episodes for the week beginning Monday, November 2, with Amy’s dangerous situation becoming even more frightening as her family struggle to bring her home.

Sean returns to help find Amy

Sean wastes no time joining Jack Branning in the search for Amy, who has run away with Craig Ingram. However, Sean and Jack soon find themselves disagreeing over how the family should handle the situation.

Tensions rise further when Lily Slater spots her uncle and questions why he failed to acknowledge her. Sean’s already difficult relationship with his family takes another knock as the search continues.

There could, however, be a breakthrough when Lily reveals that Amy used her daughter Charli’s tablet to open an online bank account. The family pass the information to the police, hoping it could help them track Amy down.

But while her loved ones desperately search for her, Amy is discovering that life with Craig is far from the fresh start she imagined.

Craig turns violent as Amy’s situation gets worse

Amy is hiding in a bedsit with Craig, who claims he has arranged somewhere for them to stay abroad.

However, his plans begin to fall apart when he discovers that Amy’s bank account has been frozen. Furious at the situation, Craig lashes out and hits Amy.

The shocking development leaves Amy in an increasingly dangerous position, while her family continue to fear for her safety.

Sean comes up with another plan to persuade Amy to return home, with an emotional video appeal from Denise Fox potentially playing a crucial role.

Could seeing her mum convince Amy to come back before Craig’s behaviour gets even worse?

Elsewhere in Walford…

Cindy Beale and Max Branning continue to clash, with their simmering hostility threatening to boil over once again.

Ian Beale also finds himself at the centre of an unexpected moment when his Bonfire Night celebrations descend into chaos. After a misunderstanding involving Elaine Peacock and a desperate attempt to secure fireworks, the pair end up arguing — but Ian suddenly kisses Elaine.

Meanwhile, Linda Carter is growing increasingly concerned about Lee’s drinking. After challenging him to stay sober for a week, she is devastated when he turns up drunk at Nancy’s antenatal class.

With Sean back, Amy in danger and tensions rising across Walford, next week looks set to deliver some huge EastEnders moments.

What do you think — will Sean manage to bring Amy home, or is Craig going to make things even worse?

EastEnders airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
