6 EastEnders Spoilers Next Week | 9 and 12 February 2026 | Max and Linda share a kiss
Walford is thrown into complete chaos next week as long-buried secrets resurface, dangerous lies take hold, and one unexpected kiss threatens to blow everything apart. From shock returns to devastating family news, the Square is heading for one of its messiest weeks yet.
The biggest bombshell comes with the sudden reappearance of Jake Moon. Instead of a warm welcome back to the Vic, Jake heads straight to prison to confront Zoe Slater. He reveals his relationship with Chrissie is over, driven to breaking point by her obsession with destroying Zoe. Zoe, desperate and vulnerable, finally tells Jake the truth about what really happened at Christmas. While he’s clearly shaken, Jake cruelly refuses to help clear her name, leaving Zoe heartbroken. However, Kat and Vicki Slater refuse to let him walk away so easily. A powerful reunion with Alfie reminds Jake where his loyalties truly lie, prompting him to stick around and devise a risky plan to lure Chrissie back to Walford—with explosive consequences looming.
Meanwhile, Linda Carter finds comfort in Max Branning during one of her lowest moments. Convinced Ollie is being bullied again, Linda leans heavily on Max, who steps in as a supportive figure. But Max soon discovers the truth: the bully is Louie Beale. Instead of being honest, Max hides it, believing he’s protecting Linda. His silence proves costly when Ollie is hurt again and Max actively covers up the truth. Despite the lies, emotions run high and Linda and Max finally share a kiss—a moment charged with chemistry but poisoned by secrets. With Elaine and Penny watching closely, the truth is set to explode.
Elsewhere, Mark Fowler Jr unknowingly befriends Ravi, completely unaware that Ravi is the very police informant he’s searching for. Their unlikely bond forms after Ravi saves Mark during a violent confrontation, setting up a devastating betrayal when the truth comes out.
The week takes a darker turn when Nugget collapses after suffering a seizure, leaving Ravi devastated and drowning in guilt. As Walford reels from illness, deception, and dangerous alliances, one thing is certain—nothing will be the same once the truth finally comes out.
