New EastEnders trailer teases Ben's big episode, gun horror & affair reveal

A huge week of drama awaits viewers of EastEnders, as Ben Mitchell’s (Max Bowden) ‘groundbreaking’ episode is almost upon us, and — if this compelling new trailer is anything to go by — it’s not an episode to be missed.

On the day of the job, Ben spots an intimate moment between Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) and Peter Beale (Dayle Hudson) — which ultimately leads to him finding out the truth about the pair’s night of passion.

While looking for Peter, he spots a van following Danny and Phil as they depart for the job, which leaves him suspicious.

Worried about what the presence of said van might mean, Ben takes Gray Atkins’ (Toby-Alexander Smith) car from the Arches, and — after changing the number plate — he rushes to the warehouse where the job is due to take place.

However, the job is already underway, and the situation soon spirals out of control — and Ben ends up having a gun pointed at him as he makes an alarming discovery.

What will transpire?

Is it next Monday yet?

One to watch: Monday June 1 at 8pm on BBC One.
