After Keanu's first job for Ravi went well, it seems Ravi is keen on using Keanu again and he tells him that there's big rewards to be had with another job, but the only catch is that it's today!

Not wanting to disappear before the christening, Keanu is conflicted over what to do. But when Albie's godparents Martin Fowler and Zack Hudson hand over an expensive present for the baby, Keanu feels undermined.

As everyone gets ready to go to the church, Keanu slips out to talk to Ravi, who tells him he'll be transporting drugs in white goods.

He assumes things have gone to plan until he discovers some alarming news from Keanu's mum Karen Taylor. She's going out of her mind with worry, as Keanu was arrested in possession of the van right in the middle of his son Albie's christening!

When Ravi overhears Karen begging Keanu's on-off lover Sharon Watts to get him a solicitor, he realises that the plan has gone terribly wrong...

After making a mysterious phone call the ex-con and killer goes after Keanu with revenge in mind...

Is it the end of the road for Keanu?

Linda Carter is struggling with her emotions, knowing that arch enemy Janine Butcher, who pretty much caused her beloved Mick Carter's death, is up in court for sentencing.

Charged with perverting the course of justice after lying about a car crash Janine and Linda were involved in, the ex-con is looking at jail time,

But the question is, how long?

Alfie's crestfallen when Linda insists that she's not going ahead with a coronation party at The Vic, as she can't bear to celebrate without Mick by her side.

Sonia Fowler is thrilled when boyfriend Reiss Colwell starts planning a big party, assuming he wants to treat her like royalty on her birthday.

Swooning over the romantic gesture, Sonia tells Kathy Beale that no one has made her feel so special in a very long time!

However, it's not long before poor Sonia realises she's made a big mistake when Reiss starts the party planning.

It soon clicks that he's not planning a celebration for her, he's arranging a bash for the coronation!

Also, Ben Mitchell makes Jay Brown a generous offers, as he and Billy Mitchell team up to help him spend as much time as he can with dying wife Lola Pearce.



WEDNESDAY

Lola Pearce is finding it increasingly difficult to do things as her brain tumour progresses. She often feels tired and in pain but she refuses to let it stop her making the most of her final months.

With her granddad Billy Mitchell's birthday coming up, she vows to make it a special one for her 'Pops', throwing herself into arranging a surprise party for him at The Vic.

When Billy's partner Honey Mitchell finds out what Lola is planning, she tries to hide her discomfort.

With Lola so ill, Billy has already told Honey that he can't bear to celebrate his birthday, as the tragedy of Lola's final months loom large in his mind.

An oblivious Lola forges ahead with her party plans and Billy is stunned when he walks into the pub to find all his friends and family waiting for him.

Will it all be too much for Billy to take?

Phil Mitchell finds Keanu Taylor beaten and bloodied and it's clear he's in a very bad way. He calls an ambulance and seeing the commotion, Sharon Watts rushes over.

She's horrified to find Keanu has been left for dead and immediately comes to the conclusion that Ravi Gulati must have attacked him. Wary of Sharon's accusations, Phil isn't convinced he's to blame.

Keanu's family are in bits and his mum Karen Taylor lays into Sharon, insisting Keanu only turned to crime to try and keep up with her swanky lifestyle.

Determined to track down who could have done this to Keanu, Sharon furiously confronts Ravi. As the row escalates, Ravi's dad Nish Panesar finds out what's going on.

He's stunned that the Ravi could put his own freedom at risk by behaving so foolishly. Ravi has only been out of prison a short time and even if Keanu pulls through, Ravi could still be in big trouble.

There's not long to wait before Ravi finds out the consequences of his actions, when the police turn up at Walford East to arrest him.

Is he facing another stretch in prison?

Sonia Fowler is feeling forgotten about as Reiss goes on and on about his coronation party. Her birthday is the same weekend and she initially assumed he was arranging a party for her!

Matters are not helped when Rocky Cotton makes a big romantic gesture for his fiancee Kathy Beale in front of everyone in the cafe. Although he DOES have a lot of making up to do after Kathy discovered that Rocky had a secret wife!

Confiding in Rocky about how she's feeling, Sonia has food for thought when Rocky points out that she and Reiss need to get to know each other better.

In fact, It's not surprising that Reiss hasn't made birthday plans for Sonia, considering he doesn't even know it's her birthday on Saturday!

Will she tell him the truth?

Also, Linda Carter stands firm on her veto of a coronation party at the pub but Alfie Moon is determined to talk her round!



THURSDAY

Linda Carter is consumed by grief for her beloved Mick Carter. Ever since Mick went missing at sea rescuing her and Janine Butcher from drowning, her life seems to have lost all meaning.

When it comes to a royal knees up, Linda is normally queen of the party, but without Mick by her side she can't bring herself to celebrate the coronation.

A national day, wouldn't be quite the same without some kind of party in The Vic and Billy Mitchell makes it his priority to talk Linda round.

He leaves Linda touched with a sweet gesture that means Mick could be included in the celebrations.

Can he convince Linda to hold a coronation party?

Reiss Colwell is totally at a loss as to why girlfriend Sonia Fowler is suddenly being so sulky.

He has NO idea that his grand plans for a coronation party are winding her up, as it's her birthday the same weekend!

Sonia also feels quietly humiliated, as she originally assumed Reiss was throwing a party for her, even though she's never even told him when her birthday is.

Mentioning Sonia's puzzling mood to Rocky Cotton, Reiss is taken aback when Rocky reveals why Sonia's so fed up.

Wanting to make things up to her and treat her like a queen, Reiss goes completely overboard with her birthday celebrations!

Coronation fever has well and truly hit the Square and Billy Mitchell has arranged a fun 'Royal Walkabout' for the kids of Walford.

Finlay and Felix Baker think Billy's Walkabout theme is a great idea and come up with their own plan to improve upon it.

Their late dad Avery Baker's classic sports car has been out of action for a long time, but Finlay seems to have the magic touch and gets it running.

It's not long before the car makes an alarming noise but something even more surprising happens...

What have they found?
