But can the Hawkins heal old wounds?



 29 AUGUST - 4 SEPTEMBER


Nicola’s world is turned upside down when her sisters, Gemma and Jodie, arrive on Albert Square with a bang, with Gemma’s son Ryder in tow, and they manage to convince a reluctant Nicola to let them stay. But she has one condition. That her estranged mother, Rose, stays away.



However, her ultimatum is short-lived when Ned, Gemma’s husband, rocks up with Rose.



Refusing to let them stay at her house, Nicola forces Gemma and Ned to find other arrangements. And Harry offers Ryder and Jodie a place to stay, urging his mum to sort things out with Rose.



Meanwhile, Ned tries to smooth things over with Kat about the commotion the family caused when they arrived, but he’s soon surprised to see an old friend, Alfie.



Later, Nicola is horrified to find the family gathered in The Vic and even more shocked when she learns that Alfie has offered Gemma and Ned a place to stay. But Kat makes it clear that Gemma and Ned’s stay was for one night only.


Over at Peacock Palace, Rose continues to cause headaches, leaving Linda and Elaine desperate to see the back of her. Hoping to ease tensions, Gemma reaches out to Nicola, but the sight of Rose quickly reignites old hostilities.


Desperate to reunite the fractured family, the Hawkins’ hatch a risky plan to resolve things between Nicola and her mum, but instead of healing old wounds, it seems their relationship is more broken than ever.


With Gemma and Ned unable to stay at The Vic, they’re relieved when Nicola has a change of heart and offers them a temporary stay, but she soon learns why the Hawkins have arrived in Walford.



EastEnders continues Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One with first look episodes available from 6am on BBC iPlayer
