Syed Masood's worst nightmare comes true in next week's EastEnders when his father sees him in an embrace with Christian. Try explaining that one! The shock causes Masood to have a spiritual crisis and, inevitably, to turn his back on his son. But there's worse in store for Syed, when it appears that Amira is pregnant. The boy just doesn't know where to turn, so he makes a big decision about his future. Find out what that is, plus how Kevin causes Molly and Tyrone to have a terrible smash in Coronation Street, Zak's latest misadventures in Hollyoaks and why Aaron tries to commit suicide in Emmerdale.
