EastEnders matriarch Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) finds herself in grave danger as her relationship with boxing promoter Dorian Gates (Luke J I Smith) takes a sinister turn next week on Tuesday, October 31.
Dorian arrived in the Square earlier this year and hit it off with Sharon immediately. Business soon turned to pleasure as the pair went on a few dates, which made her former lover Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) jealous.
After Dorian suggested that Sharon move to Abu Dhabi for a business opportunity, she dropped the bombshell on Keanu that she was taking their son Albie away with her for a year.
Desperate to not lose another child after what happened with his daughter Peggy Mitchell, Keanu has since hatched a revenge plan to seduce Sharon and get custody of their son Albie.
On top of this, Dorian was exposed as a con artist after he fixed the matches at The Boxing Den's first pie, pint and a punch up event.
While Keanu has been busy putting his plan into action, Sharon has been focused on her big move, but her attention is forced elsewhere when she's thrown into a major showdown next week.
In first look pictures, Dorian arrives at The Boxing Den with his cronies in tow as he demands payback from Sharon.
Sharon is pictured armed with a baseball bat, ready to defend herself against the dangerous gangster, but she's left stunned when Keanu steps in to support her.
Will Dorian back down against Keanu or will it all end in a bloodbath?
Is this all part of Keanu's malicious scheme to manipulate Sharon into thinking he still loves her or is he genuinely worried for his ex-fiancé?
