EastEnders spoilers and updates for the week of January 19 tease Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) plans to flee, while Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) struggles to cope.

Plus, Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) delivers a warning, and Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) start a war!

Jasmine Plans To Flee

Next week in EastEnders, Jasmine’s dark side comes back when she tells a big lie to her grandmother, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace). Kat returns to Walford and visits Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) in prison with Jasmine.

She is shocked to find out that Zoe plans to plead guilty, claiming she killed Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) in self-defense.

Kat believes that mentioning Chrissie Watts’ (Tracy-Ann Oberman) name to the police will ruin the case, so she tries to convince Zoe otherwise. However, Zoe is not willing to listen and fears it could put Jasmine in danger.

Jasmine Deceives Kat, Planning To Flee With Oscar

Later, Jasmine deceives Kat by saying she will talk to the police, but in reality, she plans to escape the area with Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier).

The problem is that Oscar is not interested, and this is made worse when Max Branning (Jake Wood) tries to dissuade him. Max then goes to talk to Jasmine, who has told Kat that she has given a statement about Chrissie.

An argument breaks out, and Jasmine reveals a shocking truth that Max strongly denies. Feeling trapped, Max starts to devise a plan to prevent her from leaving with Oscar.

Ravi Is Struggling

Meanwhile, Ravi is having a hard time coping after attacking his son Davinder “Nugget” Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury). Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) urges Nugget to move into Ravi’s flat to keep the family together.

However, Ravi is filled with guilt, creating a tense atmosphere. Nugget asks his dad why he didn’t visit him in the hospital, and Ravi snaps back, prompting Priya to intervene and mend their relationship.

Feeling overwhelmed, Nugget starts to have a panic attack. Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve Unwin-Panesar (Heather Peace) are trying to support Priya and Ravi, unaware of how much Ravi is struggling. 

Billy Delivers A Warning

Billy delivers a message from his half-brother Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) to George Knight (Colin Salmon).

Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) notices the chemistry between expectant parents Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) and George, and decides to play matchmaker.

However, Billy is hesitant after Teddy warned him about his ex-wife before he was imprisoned.

Worried, he informs George about this. Teddy’s words echo in his mind, and later in the week, after his offer on Walford East is rejected, he declines Nic’s proposal to be a co-investor.

Ian And Elaine Start A War!

Elsewhere, Ian is arguing with Elaine once more-at Peacock Palace, Elaine shows off her new advertisement, which annoys Ian.

They start to argue, and he calls Councillor Barker (uncredited) to file a formal complaint about the sign. Little does he know, his attempts are in vain as Honey has some information on the councillor that Elaine plans to exploit.

 Ian is determined not to back down and plans to retaliate. As their conflict escalates, Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) has to step in and mediate a peace between them.

Sam Tells Ricky About Her Illness

Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) undergoes her lumpectomy surgery. Raymond Fox (Calixte) wants to surprise Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) with a birthday celebration and asks Ricky Branning (Frankie Day) to help organize it. But the plan is quickly put on hold when he realizes that Sam is likely to leave again.

George finds her with a letter about her lumpectomy and encourages her to talk to her son about her diagnosis- she shares her feelings and feels joy when Ricky promises to back her up.

Later that week, at the hospital, Sam is glad to see Ricky, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), and Phil as she wakes up.

Phil Plans A Trip With Nigel

Phil is determined to take Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) to Portugal for a beach holiday he’s always wanted, despite Sam’s concerns about not informing Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn).

Sam tries to dissuade him, but Phil has already booked the tickets and plans to go after her operation. Meanwhile, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) notices that Phil is acting differently and asks George to reach out to him.

At the hospital, Sam accidentally reveals the holiday plans. George quickly relays this information back to her.
