A hospital dash for Linda, new anguish for Ben and Callum, plus Kat is in fresh danger – it’s all your EastEnders spoilers for 31 May to 4 June 2021.

Linda is rushed to hospital

Tensions need easing at the Carters’, so in a bid to make amends, Nancy offers her mum a personal training session. But Linda is still trying to conceal her pregnancy and when she pushes herself too hard while exercising, she ends up collapsing.

While waiting for an ambulance to arrive, Linda makes a whispered admission to Sharon about the fact she’s expecting a baby but says that Nancy doesn’t know. And what’s more, Mick isn’t the father.

Later on, there’s panic when Linda finds that she can’t feel the baby moving, but equilibrium is restored when the doctors tell her that all is well. Nancy, though, is suspicious that she’s being kept in the dark about something and ends up confronting her mother.

Will Linda confess all, knowing that pregnancy is already a touchy subject where Nancy is concerned?

#Ballum are back from honeymoon

It’s back to reality with an almighty bump for Ben and Callum who return home to find Vi is still at Stuart’s, which means that they’re on a blow-up bed. And there’s aggro elsewhere, too, as Phil is soon making it clear to his son that the honeymoon gift is the last thing he and Callum will ever be getting from him.

Further proof that living in the Square isn’t conducive to a stable relationship comes later in the week when Ben finds Callum in the company of his police colleague Fitzy. Sensing that he’s not welcome, Ben heads elsewhere and ends up confiding in Kheerat that he can’t stand the idea of someone sneaking around behind his back. And yes, Kheerat, you should be feeling guilty about keeping your romance with Sharon hush-hush.

Mo to go

Mo announces that she’s been invited on a cruise with Fat Elvis but is reluctant to go because she senses that something is wrong with Jean. “Rubbish,” fires back Jean, lying through her teeth. And in an attempt to prove that all is OK, she gets Kat to help her throw a going-away party for Mo.

Thursday is when you can catch Mo’s final scenes, which will see her leaving Jean with a bit of a secret bombshell to deal with. Enter wide boy Zack with a plan to help Jean out, while Mo presumably suns herself on the open seas.

Kat attack

Bert and Ernie are upset that they don’t have anyone coming to “Bring Your Dad” day at school and end up asking Phil.

But the event itself doesn’t end up going to plan. First, Phil runs into Jack, who has little Raymond in tow. And then, on the way home, Kat is the victim of a mugging! Poor woman – a mere three weeks after being mown down by a speeding car, Kat is once again finding that she’s taking her life in her hands just walking down the street. She must be praying for a fourth lockdown.
