\n\t\tKat gets some worrying news (Picture: BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron)<\/p>\n
Kat Moon<\/a> (Jessie Wallace<\/a>) receives some mortifying news amid The Queen Vic auction in EastEnders next week.<\/p>\n The famed boozer goes until the hammer in upcoming scenes, following Linda Carter<\/a>\u2019s (Kellie Bright<\/a>) decision to sell-up.<\/p>\n As viewers of the BBC soap will recall, Linda decided that she had far too many bad memories<\/a> in the building, and with her business partner mum Elaine Knight<\/a> (Harriet Thorpe<\/a>) separating from husband George<\/a> (Colin Salmon<\/a>), it was time for a fresh start.<\/p>\n In this week\u2019s episodes we\u2019ll see Ian Beale<\/a> (Adam Woodyatt<\/a>) proudly tell his family that he\u2019s ready to expand the family business empire \u2013 and he\u2019s got designs on The Vic.<\/p>\n The Slater clan immediately begin to worry about what that would mean for Jean<\/a>\u2019s (Gillian Wright<\/a>) job, given she hasn\u2019t been on the best of terms with the clan recently.<\/p>\n Later, Stacey<\/a> (Lacey Turner<\/a>) produces a scratchcard worth \u00a3100k<\/a>, and with her fortunes suddenly changed, she decides to put a bid in for the pub.<\/p>\n By next Monday, the Slaters are convinced that it\u2019ll not be long before Kat moves in to take charge, but the other residents have their doubts.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t Both Ian and Yolande Trueman<\/a> (Angela Wynter<\/a>) cast a shadow over her plans, and she\u2019s left disheartened. Of course, Ian\u2019s motive is purely for his own gain, still wanting to take charge himself.<\/p>\n His ex-wife Cindy<\/a> (Michelle Collins<\/a>) is less than impressed when he announces his intentions to sell restaurant Beale\u2019s Eels.<\/p>\n Ahead of the auction, Jean receives a call from Kat\u2019s husband Alfie<\/a> (Shane Richie<\/a>) \u2013 who is in Barcelona trying to track down<\/a> her daughter Zoe<\/a> (Michelle Ryan<\/a>) \u2013 and fails to pass on a message to Stacey.<\/p>\n What does Alfie want?<\/p>\n As everyone gathers for the sale, Jean finally tells Stacey that Alfie has been in touch, and she drops a huge bombshell. She can no longer lend the money to Kat to buy the bar.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tFollow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!\t\t\t<\/p>\n Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
