EastEnders spoilers follow for the beginning of the New Year, with two shock returns and two new arrivals taking Walford by storm.

The events of Christmas continue to send shockwaves through the Square, particularly where The Six are concerned but next week shifts primary focus away from them to take our attention elsewhere.

In fact, the show takes us all the way to Paris, where we find Lauren and Penny Branning (Jacqueline Jossa and Kitty Castledine).

Things soon take a shock turn for the duo and shortly afterwards they make a huge decision, opting to return to Walford.

Penny arrives back in London and makes her way to the Square, but there’s trouble for Lauren, who doesn’t appear to be with her cousin.

The question is: just where is she? And what has transpired?

That remain to be seen.

Elsewhere in the Square, George Knight (Colin Salmon) is confronted by Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), who asks him if he’s happy with his life choices, much to Elaine Peacock’s (Harriet Thorpe) dismay.

Before he can answer, however, the patriarch receives two unexpected visitors in the form of his parents, Gloria and Eddie.

George’s reaction isn’t what one might’ve expected which leaves Elaine concerned. But it’s not Elaine that he confides in as he later tells Cindy that he was adopted.

The biggest shock, however, comes later in the week when a big truth courtesy of Gloria rocks the pub landlord’s entire world.

But just what has she said? And why has it rocked George so much?

EastEnders airs these scenes between Monday, January 1 and Thursday, December 4 at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
