'EastEnders' Yusef faces a backlash - Spoiler Pictures

EastEnders villain Yusef Khan finally faces the fury of the Masood family next week as one of his schemes blows up in his face.

Seeing that Amira and baby Yasmin could stand in the way of his attempts to control Zainab, Yusef (Ace Bhatti) sets a new plan into action later this week as he manipulates Christian into thinking that Amira is lying about Yasmin's paternity.

Plagued with doubts due to Yusef's spiteful suggestions, Christian approaches the doctor to have a DNA test done in secret. Events take a further twist when Yusef sabotages the test to give a false result, wanting everyone to think that Syed (Marc Elliott) is not the father.

When Yusef hands over the falsified results to Christian (John Partridge) next Monday, he's keen to ensure that Amira's credibility will be damaged for good. Soon afterwards, a showdown takes place as Christian accuses Amira of lying about Yasmin to manipulate Syed.

Stunned and confused by the untrue claim, Amira (Preeya Kalidas) tries to convince Syed that he's definitely Yasmin's father - leaving him feeling torn.



As news of the bombshell spreads among the rest of the family, shrewd Masood (Nitin Ganatra) senses that something is amiss and declares that the DNA test results must have been falsified. Believing that Yusef is responsible, Masood tries to make everyone see that this is nothing more than a sick scheme.

Refusing to accept that Yusef could have done such a thing, Amira and Zainab (Nina Wadia) end up accusing Christian of faking the test and all hell breaks loose as tempers become frayed.



However, events soon take a turn as Zainab discovers that the local surgery doesn't do DNA tests, which means that Yusef has been lying all along. Soon afterwards, Amira vows to prove that she's telling the truth by having another DNA test done.

With Zainab, Masood, Syed and Amira all determined to settle the matter with another test, a panic-stricken Yusef is backed into a corner and is forced to confess that he faked the first one.

Things get worse for Yusef as Amira reveals that the manipulative GP tried to keep her away from the Masoods, not wanting them to be involved in Yasmin's life. As everyone turns against Yusef, Masood reads him the riot act while Zainab tells him that she hates him for what he's done.





Later, though, Yusef is back to his old tricks as he tries to blame Zainab for everything - claiming that her decision to leave him all those years ago has turned him into the man he is today. Will Zainab have the sense to cut ties with Yusef for good, or could she do the unthinkable and forgive him?

EastEnders airs these scenes all next week on BBC One.
