One EastEnders character is left fighting for their life next week as a shock stabbing rocks Walford.

The BBC soap has confirmed there are horrifying scenes ahead for Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) after their forthcoming escape from drug pusher Okie Okyere’s (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) clutches.

After his boss Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) left town for a family holiday, Okie has been holding Harry hostage while continuing to manipulate vulnerable Kojo into running drugs.

But after Kojo successfully helps Harry escape later this week, it turns out their ordeal is far from over as they are set for one final reckoning with Okie next week.

With Ravi now back on the Square, a desperate Okie asks him to help clear up the mess he has made, but Ravi has far bigger concerns as his illicit dealings are exposed to his furious partner Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan-Levy), who throws him out.

Meanwhile, George and Junior Knight (Colin Salmon and Micah Balfour) try to support Kojo in the wake of recent events, but he is desperate to return to living independently in his flat.

As an opportunity presents itself, Kojo sneaks back there – but he gets a fright when Okie later turns up there and a dangerous situation escalates.

Okie threatens Kojo, demanding to know what he told the police and instructs him to text Harry to get him over to the flat.

Harry arrives to find Okie armed with a knife and threatening Kojo, and quickly steps in to defend him.

However, a fight breaks out between Harry and Okie, and Kojo flees to find help. Amid the brawl, disaster strikes when Harry accidentally stabs Okie.

Outside, Kojo manages to find Harry’s dad Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian), who rushes to the scene – but little can prepare him for what he finds…

Will evil Okie pull through, or is Harry about to go down for murder?
