Amy’s fate after dead Craig twist as EastEnders spoilers reveal what happens next

| Deputy Soaps Editor Published November 5, 2026 6:30pm Updated November 5, 2026 6:30pm A shock death that changes everything (Picture: BBC / Metro) Craig Ingram (Matthew James Bailey) met a grisly end in EastEnders as Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) lied to the police about what happened and elsewhere the return of Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) sent fans into a frenzy. Amy, as viewers know, was groomed by sinister detective Craig over the course of several months and the story reached a dramatic peak this past week when they hightailed it out of Walford. Trapped in a bedsit with creepy Craig, Amy began to see him for who he truly is when he resorted to violence and attacked her. Fearing for her life, she attempted to call for help but when Craig returned home early and caught her on the phone a struggle ensued, ending with Amy striking him across the head with a candlestick. Tonight’s visit to the Square confirmed that Craig is dead as Amy returned home to Walford and, after discussing whether or not one should trust the police with Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky), she resolved to keep quiet, telling detectives that she ran away from Craig.

Elsewhere, Linda (Kellie Bright) is left reeling to find out that Lee (Danny Hatchard) spent the night on Sean’s floor after too many drinks.

But their heart-to-heart is interrupted by a drunken Lee, who makes a scene in the Vic as Linda is forced to intervene. Desperately in need of answers, Linda resolves to seek the truth from the only person she can – Janine! Will she get answers? And can one really be sure Janine is even telling the truth? Meanwhile, Sharon and Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace) meet for a playdate with Ria and Albie, while Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and Mark (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) struggle with guilt over Ryder Hawkins’ (Felix Uff) attack.
