Ned’s cruel revenge on Ryder confirmed as EastEnders spoilers reveal what happens next

Ned takes shocking action after witnessing son Ryder kiss a man (Picture: BBC / Metro) Ned Hawkins (Jamie Bamber) was left seething in EastEnders when he witnessed son Ryder (Felix Uff) kissing another man – and he takes cruel action next week amid the young lad’s attempt to come out. Ryder confided in Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) in emotional scenes on Thursday (October 8), opening up about his sexuality to his auntie, who couldn’t have been more supportive. Offering him advice and urging him to live life as he wants, Nicola encouraged her nephew to call up the man he’s been speaking to online to organise a meet. Ryder did just that. Ned, meanwhile, wasted little time in getting to know Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) following his release from prison, offering the Walford legend support as he adjusted to life back in the Square. Sadly that level of support did not extend to his own son as he looked upset and angry after spotting Ryder kissing a man in the Square at night. Much like Ryder suspected, Ned will not prove to be an ally – and the next episode will see him take shocking action. What happens next in EastEnders?
