EastEnders kicks off gun horror as Hunter Owen makes deadly plan

EastEnders fans were left a little nervous at the end of Friday's episode, after a chilling Hunter Owen scene.

Next week will see huge scenes in Walford, with a shock death tipped - while several characters are thought to be in danger.

While a recent trailer and some super cryptic spoilers teasing the chaos that will unfold, viewers are worried what it all means for their favourite characters.

What we do know is that Hunter ends up with a gun, as he plans to take revenge on Jack Branning - while it's also been reported he himself will be killed off.

Now, the latest visit to Walford teased the very start of the shock plot, while giving away new details of the upcoming scenes.

Hunter is currently injured after being attacked while he escaped prison, with mother Mel Owen hiding him in an empty flat.

On Friday, Ben Mitchell finally uncovered Hunter was hiding, blackmailing Mel to give her the number of his sister Louise's mother, Lisa Fowler.

Louise is on the run with Keanu Taylor, and Phil is trying to track her down - leading to Lisa's own return next week.

But in the latest episode Mel was in fear of Ben exposing Hunter, and told him they needed to leave straight away - only for Hunter to struggle.

As Mel comforted him, he looked stunned and as though he had a chilling plan for Jack, as he spotted a gun in Mel's handbag.

This appears to be the start of a shocking week in Walford, that will no doubt change lives forever.

Viewers will have to stay tuned to find out who lives and who dies all next week.

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
