I wonder what lies Ben tells
Over on EastEnders, Tyler will continue to pursue Whitney in the coming days as he gets back on his feet following his recent health drama.
The Walford charmer tries his best flirtatious moves on Whitney in the hope of scoring a date with her, but he's left disappointed when nothing seems to work.
Whitney knows that she does like Tyler but she feels apprehensive about going on a date with him. However, in the end it's Fatboy who encourages her to have faith in herself.
When Whitney finally meets Tyler, they sit in an awkward silence - but she soon surprises him by leaning in for a kiss.
An EastEnders insider commented: "Tyler has been trying to impress Whitney all day but she doesn't appear to be falling for his charms.
"However, after Whitney talks to Fatboy, she plucks up the courage to approach Tyler and he is ecstatic when she leans in to kiss him."
These scenes air on Friday, September 30 at 8pm on BBC One.
Monday
Zainab returns home from hospital but Syed is frustrated when she refuses to open up about the incident with the pills and what really happened. Keen to get answers, Syed pays a visit to the surgery, wanting to know about the medication that Zainab's doctor has been prescribing. However, Yusef refuses to get involved and tells Syed that there isn't a medical explanation for what happened to Zainab - it's all down to the pressure she's been facing. Later, Syed asks his mother outright whether she hoped to kill herself by taking an overdose. Zainab is shocked but goes on to admit that she can't remember exactly what happened.
Later, Syed and Tamwar tell Masood what really happened last week and he's angry that they left him in the dark. At the same time, Zainab confides in Yusef over her current state of mind - vowing to change her priorities and concentrate on looking out for her family and friends from now on, including Syed and Masood. This is unwelcome news for Yusef and he fears that the situation is slipping beyond his control when Masood turns up and Zainab asks to be left alone with him. However, an emotional Masood has some news for Zainab - he believes that her 'suicide attempt' was a wake-up call and he's decided to divorce her…
Meanwhile, Ben skips school to spend more time with Duncan following their recent kiss. After they spot Phil on the Square, the pair hide away in The Vic's alleyway and soon end up in a romantic clinch. However, Ben panics when he realises that Patrick has seen them. Later, Ben speaks to Patrick, keen to make sure that he'll keep quiet about what he saw. Patrick assures him that he won't be getting involved as it's none of his business, but Ben gets the wrong end of the stick when he sees Patrick speaking to Phil later that day. Afterwards, Patrick is shocked when a brick is thrown through the B&B window and he sees that Ben is responsible.
Elsewhere, Tyler returns home but is angry when he discovers that Anthony betrayed him with his recent bet.

Soon afterwards, Ben has a new problem to deal with when Patrick orders him to pay £100 for the broken window at the B&B, or he'll tell Phil about the vandalism. A desperate Ben asks Heather for a loan, but his strange behaviour leads her to believe that he's being bullied again, so Heather informs Phil of her theory. Phil later catches Ben trying to steal from the cash box at The Arches and decides that Heather may be right.
Later, having failed to get the money for Patrick, Ben heads to the Minute Mart and locks the door in order to confront him. Ben starts stealing from the shop, but Patrick tries to reason with him, pointing out that Shirley and Heather will support him if he opens up.

When Phil orders Patrick to apologise to Ben and he refuses, Phil angrily threatens Patrick...
Meanwhile, Tamwar and Syed are shocked by the news that Masood has divorced Zainab.

Tamwar encourages Masood to speak to Zainab before it's too late, but when Masood visits the house, he's shocked to find that Yusef is there.

Things get worse when Phil and Jay smash Denise's car headlights in further revenge. Later, when Patrick arrives to work at The Vic, Alfie tells him that he's being forced to lay him off under strict instruction from Phil. Denise is appalled and confronts Phil in front of the pub's punters, but Phil declares that Patrick intended to harm Ben. Although he doesn't reveal Ben's secret, Patrick stands up for himself by exposing the damage to the B&B window, the shop and Denise's car. As tensions rise, Denise publicly accuses Phil of racism.
Later, Ben visits the B&B and advises Patrick to pacify Phil by apologising before the situation escalates further. However, Patrick tells Ben that he won't compromise his dignity and pride for anyone. As the day continues, Heather announces that she's moving out of Phil's in support of Patrick.

Later, Ian is shocked when he arrives home to an immaculate house, a perfectly-laid table and Mandy dressed like Jane! Mandy hopes to show Ian that he doesn't want her to be perfect like his ex-wife, as he'd still be married to her if he did.
Also today, Tyler continues to pursue Whitney and creates a grand gesture by rounding up the market workers to hold up signs which read: "Whitney your hot - go on a date with me? (sic)" However, the idea doesn't have the desired effect on Whitney, who walks away. Later, Whitney confides in Fatboy, admitting that she likes Tyler but just doesn't trust herself with men anymore.

EastEnders' Masood Ahmed makes the heartbreaking decision to divorce wife Zainab in tonight's episode of the soap.
Masood (Nitin Ganatra) has been kept in the dark over the real reasons for Zainab's hospital dash last week, but when Tamwar and Syed finally tell him the truth, he's alarmed to hear that his estranged partner may have taken an overdose deliberately.
Zainab, meanwhile, is in a reflective mood following recent events, telling Yusef (Ace Bhatti) that she plans to concentrate on her family and repairing her relationship with Masood. However, Masood has other ideas, believing that Zainab now needs a fresh start without him.
Events come to a head when an emotional Masood visits the family home and repeats the word "talaq" - meaning "I divorce you" - three times in front of a shocked Zainab (Nina Wadia). As it's clear that Yusef's shock pill plan has worked perfectly, can the Masoods ever recover from this?
