Lauren's (Madeline Duggan) trial dominates EastEnders in a fortnight's time (sort of), during the bank of episodes immediately following the dramatic week featuring Peggy's (Barbara Windsor) wedding to Archie (Larry Lamb) and the Ronnie/Danielle (Samantha Janus and Lauren Crace) reveal.

I say 'sort of', since it's not the only big storyline of the week. You'll have to wait until next Friday to learn more about that, though! There's a surprising story twist which I don't think many viewers will see coming. More on that one soon.

Anyway, doting father Max (Jake Wood) is desperate to ensure his daughter returns home following her trial, and attempts to secure as much help as he can by any means possible. However, with Stacey due to make her appearance in court, Max decides to offer Stacey a wad of cash on the promise that she'll lie under oath about what she saw on the night of his accident. Stacey, however, seems not to care less.

Will her conscience spring into action before it's too late?

Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Nathan Wylde (Lyndon Ogbourne) isn't a happy bunny on April 8 when Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) kisses Maisie (Alice Coulthard) in front of the regulars at the Woolpack, instead of breaking up with her.

Waiting for Andy outside the pub, Nathan flies at Andy with his fist, but when Andy evades the attack, Nathan punches the wall.

Nathan is riled up even more as Andy walks away laughing. What will be Nathan's next move?

Over on Hollyoaks, Ash (Junade Khan) and Justin's (Chris Fountain) petty argument over Hannah (Emma Rigby) reaches spirals out of control (literally) in a couple of weeks at the bike race.

Justin still can't ride properly and Hannah knows he doesn't stand a chance against Ash. However, when Justin mentions to Ash that Hannah's been helping him fix up the bike all week, Ash decides to tamper with Justin's bike. He's horrified, though, when Hannah rides out onto the circuit on it.

Realising the potential repercussions of Ash's actions, Justin goes after Hannah. However, it's too late as the bike packs in and Hannah's thrown off onto the track. The following day, Justin's not impressed in the slightest to discover that Ash blamed the whole incident on him...

And finally to Weatherfield, where a desperate Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) turns to an imprisoned John Stape (Graeme Hawley) for advice on home-schooling Chesney (Sam Aston) in the hope that he'll be able to point them in the right direction. John's delighted to see her, while Fiz is stunned when John confesses that he still loves her...

Surely Fiz won't give him another chance, will she?!
