EastEnders horror as resident 'fights for life' after shock shooting on the Square

It's set to be an devastating week in EastEnders next week, as one resident's life hangs in the balance after a shock shooting in the Square.

Last week, fans were left in shock when Okie revealed he had a gun, and told Harry he would make George 'disappear'if he had to. In scenes set to air this week, Harry will be seen burying the gun, leaving Ravi fuming with the unwise decision.

He's left beside himself when he realises the gun has gone, and next week, it's been revealed that Oscar is the one whose hands it lands in. Jack is left horrified when Oscar shows him the gun he's found, but things get worse when Ravi hears Oscar begging Jack to help him get rid.

Desperate to try and retrieve the weapon, Ravi breaks into Jack's house to get it back, but he's spotted by his ex lover Denise, who of course goes to inform Jack. Jack then confronts Ravi and things go from bad to worse...

The residents are left stunned when they realise a gunshot has gone off in the Square, and things take an even worse turn when they realise who has been shot and a life hangs in the balance…

EastEnders aren't giving anymore away and are remaining quiet over who's involved - but what we do know is this will have a devastating impact on the Square.

Although the BBC soap aren't giving anything away, fans had speculated someone would get shot after they saw Okie reveal the gun to Harry.

Many suspected George would get shot, as Okie threatened to make him "disappear" if he caused any trouble after Kojo was given a pill. However, some believed it would be another member of the Knight family...

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter after last week's episode, one fan penned: "George or Anna are definitely getting shot as we know Anna is leaving and it's likely she'll take the bullet for George if Okie aims a gun at him," wrote one.

Another said: "They've hinted tonight that George could end up dead - or seriously hurt but I hope this doesn't happen." But will it be the Knights involved, or someone else altogether? Fans will have to tune in next week to find out.
