Chrissie Watts is back, and she brings a whole heap of drama with her. But what are her circumstances and what exactly is she up to? Chrissie's presence causes shockwaves around Albert Square.

We're expecting former stepdaughter Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and nemesis Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) to be reeling and furious in equal measure, given that the last time they saw Chrissie, she was facing justice for murdering Den Watts (Leslie Grantham).

As the drama continues, a difficult week comes to a head. You'll just have to wait and see what - and who - Chrissie's comeback involves.

2. Anna Knight pregnant with Bobby Beale's baby

Anna tells boyfriend Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) that she's having a hard time, so he wants to cheer her up. But soon Bobby must prioritise work at Beale's Eels, so he enlists pal Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) to cheer Anna up.

But Freddie is secretly in love with Anna, and is so determined not be alone with her that he makes up a flimsy excuse, which leaves her hurt.

Anna later decides to ask Freddie if everything is OK between them - but she suffers a dizzy spell before she can get to him.

Eventually, Anna makes it over to visit Freddie, who insists all is fine, but won't commit to going birdwatching together. When Anna instead suggests going for food with Bobby and her sister Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), Freddie agrees, thinking there's safety in numbers.

But at Walford East, Gina and Bobby are sidetracked, and when Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) teases Freddie and Anna about being on a date, Freddie flees with another weak excuse.

An upset Anna confides in Gina, who plans to get to the bottom of the issue.

Gina asks Anna if she could be pregnant, and Cindy almost catches Gina buying Anna a pregnancy test. At The Vic, Anna takes the test and learns she is expecting Bobby's baby. What will she do next?
