EastEnders spoilers: Peter Beale struggles to forgive Ian and Bobby over Lucy's death

EastEnders airs fresh struggles for the Beales, following the return of Peter Beale.

Peter headed back to Walford for the first time since 2015 last week, after his grandmother Kathy Beale desperately called him.

He'd actually been back in England a while it seemed, with only Kathy knowing about it, following his split from Lauren Branning while they were in New Zealand.

During his last stint in Walford, Peter struggled to cope with the murder of his twin sister Lucy.

It soon came out a year after her death that their younger brother Bobby had accidentally killed her during a row.

Stepmother Jane covered up the crime and allowed Max Branning to take the blame, keeping it a secret until the truth came out in a live episode.

The news of his family's betrayal and their decision to stand by Bobby, keeping the killer secret, led to Peter leaving Walford for good.

He's never really forgiven his dad or Bobby, unable to get past what happened to his twin.

As he heads back to the family home where Lucy died this week, he finds himself struggling.

He can't hide his feelings against his dad and brother, despite agreeing to stick around for Kathy's sake.

When he gets to the house he isn't so sure he can handle being there given what happened in the past, clearly not over Lucy's death.

Can Ian get through to his son, and will Peter move past what Bobby did all those years ago?

That's not the only trouble he faces, with Lauren's dad Max having it out with him after realising he's back in Walford.

But Peter is quick to put his former father-in-law in his place, given his own family dramas in the past.

Peter's ex Lola Pearce is also stunned to find out he's back.

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