EastEnders teen Bex Fowler is left devastated all over again next week – but this time the person responsible is very close to home.

Bex (Jasmine Armfield) has already faced a hellish few weeks as she's been targeted by school bullies, but she thinks she's finally got something to smile about as Preston Cooper continues to romance her in Monday's episode.

Sadly, Bex's happiness is going to be very short-lived, as next week's dramatic EastEnders episodes see everyone find out about how Preston has also been sleeping with Michelle Fowler.

The Beeb isn't giving away exactly how the truth comes out, but the big reveal sends shockwaves through the Square and also brings Michelle's world crashing down around her.

In the aftermath, a heartbroken Bex struggles to come to terms with the fact that her own aunty was secretly sleeping with Preston behind her back.

Stacey (Lacey Turner) leads the way by stepping in to comfort Bex, but can the Fowlers forgive Michelle for her actions?

Over on Hollyoaks, Leela Lomax is still in danger as her secret stalker DS Armstrong continues to obsess over her.

Fans were shocked this week as the show revealed that Armstrong is the mystery culprit who's been tormenting Leela (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) – creating the perfect cover for himself as he's also the policeman "investigating" the mystery!

As Leela continues to worry about her safety, Zack Loveday (Duayne Boachie) proves to be the perfect shoulder to cry on and they come close to kissing at the Lomax house.

The pair are only interrupted when a jealous Armstrong (Andrew Hayden-Smith) comes knocking on the door, keen to break things up after watching them via his secret spycam.

Coming up on Coronation Street, Tracy Barlow has some more harsh words for her dad Ken as she refuses to forgive him for turning his back on her.

Tracy (Kate Ford) is feeling rejected by Ken after he firmly refused to fund her ambitions of buying the florists.

Friday's double bill also ended with Tracy stumbling across Ken's will at Number 1, leaving Corrie fans to wonder whether she'd take a peek or not.

The tension between the pair only gets worse next week, as Tracy constantly accuses Ken (Bill Roache) of favouring his biological family over her and Amy.

Although Ken tries his best to make peace with Tracy, he's left frustrated when she rejects his efforts – sparking another fiery exchange of words between them.

As Ken points out Tracy's long history of bad behaviour – including how she murdered Charlie Stubbs – he reminds her that he's always stood by her despite everything. But is Ken only making matters worse by confronting Tracy over her past mistakes?

Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Doug Potts is crushed when his daughter Laurel Thomas stubbornly refuses to forgive him for his recent comments about Ashley.

Doug (Duncan Preston) made a big mistake when Ashley went missing last week, carelessly suggesting that it might be kinder if he slips away suddenly.

Monday's episode sees Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) share a treasured moment with Ashley when she takes him back to the care home and they dance together, both losing themselves in the music.

Pleased to see that there are still elements of the old Ashley in there, Laurel is on a high when she comes home – but her mood suddenly turns sour when she finds Doug there.

Although Doug is apologetic, Laurel accuses him of not caring about Ashley and makes it clear that she won't be forgiving him anytime soon. However, when little Arthur later falls ill, the timing for this argument couldn't be worse as Laurel needs all the help she can get right now...
